I worry about a man who puts that much time and thought and effort into creating a pun around “testicle.” I mean, I’ve got two and I don’t spend THAT much time thinking about them.
When I was in high school I saw the “Woodstock” movie, and I thought the stage manager’s sound check was SO CLEVER ! ! ! (Testes, one, two! Testes, one, two!)
Hard to blame Comic Strip Censor Guy for this one, which Cartoon-Boy went to such pains to set up. But shutting down and barricading the strip is kinda extreme, I think….
Check out the July 22nd strip of Breaking Cat News. The PUNishment is spreading! (This from the co-author of a pun-laden short story called ‘Punishing Arnaud’.

Back in the day people freaked out if a woman on TV wore pants yet today’s generation is considered ‘sensitive’ and ‘easily offended.’

They think about it all the time. But even in their toons, that’s pathetic.

I blame Rat, he told Pig to behold his test to cull, then complained.

This was a pretty ballsy strip for Pastis to run. Most other comic strips would have thought this joke was just nuts!

Must have been too hard for Pastis to think of a pun for “Oompa-Loompas”…

Didn’t see that one coming. Mr. Pastis, I hope your mother called you over that one!

Men invented athletic cups 100 years before the football helmet was invented. You can tell which body part men value more.

I found this strip strangely refreshing and unusual. I think that, between this and his regular puns, there is a vas deferens.
