I like a strip like this, which has a punchline in almost every panel. My favorite is Pete’s surmise in the second panel.
Family Pork Roast
The thing is, pigs will eat pig, if they have to. But I had a buddy who discovered they wouldn’t eat mellorine.
Yew Tree
This cartoon may only work unless you say it aloud. And then maybe only.
Tasty Toe-sy Goodness
I got a burger at a great hole-in-the-wall place near here recently that tasted great, but those onion buns stuck with me for hours!
Change of Seasons
There’s a store in the mall that sells these hyper-detailed, miniature football helmets. I want one with a baseball team logo on the side.
Prejudicial Airlines
“Prejudice” is one of those words that makes some people’s sense of humor disappear. Because it exists in real life, it can’t possibly be funny to them in any context.
Split, the Difference
My English teacher wife really enjoyed this one. Honestly, it makes sense, doesn’t it?
Dead in 24 Hours
So many things that happen on TV shows and movies that never happen in real life. Like, all my years of watching “Daniel Boone” and “Gunsmoke” made me think adulthood would contain a lot more black powder than it has.
Lower Your Duck!
Why does “duck” mean either a bird or a movement? No wonder people who try to learn English stick with their native tongue.
Cured!
I really like the last panel. I think it was Monty who threw his horseshoe into the tree.
