M&M’s is privately held by two brothers whose names start with “M”. Anyone else noticed how they are trying to ‘water down’ what used to be solid chocolate (bars, kisses, etc) by adding rice, peanuts, etc. By the way, chocolate overseas tastes a lot richer because the first ingredient is milk, here it’s usually sugar.
Several years ago there was a trail mix type food that had the tag line “Americas favorite nut snack”. They pulled it after about 5 airings for some reason.
I’m surprised Pastis hasn’t done a baseball strip yet. “It’s the bottom of the 8th and Pig has two balls on him,” is such an easy one. Unless he already did one and I just missed it?
Was it Johnny Carson who asked a female guest to get something out of his pocket and when she was doing so said “I feel silly doing this”, to which he replied, “reach a little lower and you’ll feel nuts” …?
I am going to have to come back and re-read this regularly throughout the day. This is just so funny I could almost rip my nutsack from laughing. Thank you Mr Pastis!
If CSC weren’t such a stalker and voyeur we’d have to figure out the joke all by ourselves. Thanks for the help, Cartoon-Boy! I hope you get along well—very well indeed—with the TSA next time you fly….
One of The Rat’s best. Living on Long Island, I’m just waiting for the strip to get banned from the local tabloid. One should definitely have to be wearing a jock guard these days.
I have a pair of boots with pompoms at the ends of long laces. When the knots let go, the pompoms like to tangle together. Imagine the looks on the faces of everyone heard me complain, “I just tripped over my balls!”

rather than raisins and nuts separately, why not combine them along with M&M’S which makes trail mix?
