I thought when you put meat on the bones of idea, the expression was “flesh them out”, and “flush them out” was what you do with the contents of a toilet. I’ll bet Pastis says “butt naked” and “for all intensive purposes”.
These weekday pun strips can be refreshing, though they also feel a lot more forced than the Sundays because there’s so much less space for develop them.
