Earbuds are those headphones that won’t stay in your ear (for some people, present company included). And of course the Roman/Greek laurel wreath, being a plant worn where it was, was an “ear bud”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurel_wreath
The joke is pretty obvious. The question is: is it deliberate that the cartoon came out on the Ides of March or not? I have not clue as to the answer.
Yes, that’s the question here: a Julius Caesar comic on March 15 with no connection to the Ideas?
Et tu, laurel wreath?
It can’t be Caesar, he has a full head of hair (pun intended)
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears…
…mine aren’t big enough.
@Christine: “Pun”?
I’m sure he could find a fix to that problem if he checks the Forum.
Since it’s apparently bad pun day, I’ll note that a friend lives in Aromas, California, where the locals refer to themselves as “Aromans”. If I lived there, I’d run for office just so I could start speeches with “Friends, Aromans, countrymen…”
B.A. I know, it’s a bit too direct to count as a pun. But I’m not sure how else to phrase it that I’m referencing Caesar’s baldness & vanity & name.
A weak stab at humor, at best.
Now I’m in the mood for a caesar salad.
…or how about a Sid Caesar salad?
Dan Sachs – I can’t wear ear buds either – they don’t go into my ears at all.
