Pastis: Hey, check it out, Rat... We're scrunching the strip vertically. Rat: What for? Pastis: It creates space above the strip for newspaper readers to write notes and stuff, that way maybe a husband and wife could communicate with each other in the morning without having to waste extra paper. Rat: What do the need to communicate about? Rat: Oh, that worked out well. Pastis: Hey! I thought it was clever! Honey, don't read this strip. It's not funny.
And if it weren’t for the magnifier, I wouldn’t have been able to get the joke. SOME of us don’t have the eyes that we had 20 or 30 years ago, Pastis!
