It’s all in the interpretation.

I had bon mots once, but I got better.

Bon mots are the best kind of mots.

Between the lines? Wonder what the lines say.

Nothing like a heartfelt letter of self-appreciation, eh Zonker?!

Signed, Mom.

I tried reading between the lines. All I got was _______________

I wonder what the lines actually said?

Zonker can see between the lines and read them. Ganja facilitates.

With a name like Zonker, it’s hard to believe that he can form the intent to produce a solitary bon mot, let alone decades’ worth.

Charles Schulz lamented that he didn’t let Charlie Brown successfully kick the football before he retired the comic. So, Garry, how about letting Zonker get laid, just once, before you retire the strip?
