rat is right it’s not that funny
I hope the bartender is ok.
I’ll have a Jumbo Jack without mayo, please.
Rat wanted a pick-me-up, so the bartender offered him Jack toting a hydraulic jack to lift Rat to the counter to order a Jack with Jack cheese.
Is that the theory behind the bottle in the brown paper bag that is so often used in TV and Film?
When I was a bartender many years ago, we’d done a small repair. So, as soon as someone ordered a screwdriver, we had one to give him.

I thought for couple of seconds that he would give rat a car jack.
you never want your bartender to be springing anything on you…
Didn’t know the bartender was into Harveytoons.
Nice to see Rat being jacked!
If bartenders refrain from all forms of humour, then what will they say whenever a horse walks into the bar?
I was thinking more in the direction of a car jack. Silly me.
At least it’s not a Jack Bauer in the box, they only work for 24 hours
When I lived in Oklahoma, back in the ’70s, I was told it was illegal to transport alcohol in your car, even if the bottles were unopened and in the trunk. So, how are you supposed to get it home from the liqueur store?

At least he didn’t ask to drink Canada Dry.
Pastis should refrain from all forms of humor…
I love it. I often see them coming, but this I did not for some reason.Btw. seen from the old world, the US has strange laws on alcohol.
OY OY OY
Us young guys used to hit Jack in the Box after the bars closed, the good old days!
I bet Rat popped that weasel-y bartender.
As Pastis puns go, that’s pretty clever.
I feel punneled.
No more puns!
Many years ago, in Flagstaff, Az. the drive-thru for Jack in the Box was right next to a drive-thru liquor store.
Yes, this led to lots of customer confusion.
He’s just toying with him (surprised no one has used that yet, or I missed it)
Bartenders don’t need to up their humor game because most drunks find EVERYTHING funny.
Until rat is properly lubricated, anyway !!!! lo
Bunch of contrapuntalsts here
Was his last name Mehoff ;)
Gimmie a lite. Bud Lite.
This made my day. Just how sad is that?
“Jack not name; jack job!”
“….’Pop’ goes the Coke….”. To go with the Jack of course.
Make mine a single-malt please.
How long has the bartender bee waiting to use that jack-in-the-box?
At first I thought I was reading Andy Capp.
Shouldn’t Rat be bludgeoning Pastis with a Louisville Slugger in the last panel?
That’s humor? Maybe if you’re in fourth grade.
Moe is one of the best characters on the Simpsons. I hope he stays funny.
Great, now I want some greasy, deep fried tacos I usually crave late at night.
That’s not punny!
good thing he didn’t ask for a rusty nail…
I liked it.
It was funnier when seen from out here, Rat. Ho ho ho….
It would be funnier if the bartender came back and slugged Rat instead. (Another meaning of box.)
He asked for it
Good one
