That first comic would work better if it was underwear with the word “clean” on it. Parents can usually tell if their kids are wearing clean outer clothing but underwear is a genuine concern.
I do think of a plain or almost-plain white tee-shirt as an undershirt.
I’ll admit to being the stupid one, but I don’t spot the pun in the Barney and Clyde strip.
@beckoningchasm: She said pray and he said spray.
Wouldn’t the pun in Barney and Clyde work better if the girl had said, “… did you know that in Tibet, monks pray every morning ….”?
“Monks pray” sounds somewhat like “monks spray,” while in her version, “monks in Tibet pray” doesn’t sound like the word “spray” is anywhere in there.
