Well we’re all familiar with that pun (sez Mitch), but not usually from this perspective, nor presented so starkly.
When I (zbicyclist) saw this on social media, I thought it was probably altered. I don’t think of Charles Schulz using a lot of groaner puns. But it’s legit: it appeared February 9, 1982, as I found out using the Peanuts search engine, https://peanuts-search.com/?q=bush%20pilot
How nice, when you can know just what’s coming, but the joke works fine anyhow!

There are some who object to shrimp scampi on the grounds that it is somewhat a translated-redundancy; based on
scampi
/ ˈskæm pi, ˈskɑm- /
noun,plural scam·pi.Italian Cooking.
- a large shrimp or prawn.
but then there is 2. a dish of shrimp or prawns grilled or sautéed in oil or butter and garlic, which is what we want shrimp scampi to mean.

We had marked “Unintended Arlo” but really now, how can that not be meant?

Just BTW, does “aggro” in casual speech these days mean aggressive or aggravating?
Dýou think this is well-positioned to become even more popular than the one about the land of the blind?
A fine line between pun and equivocation.
In the GoComics comments, Teresa Burritt (creator of Frog Applause) revealed that this was a CIDU for her! (Several commenters answered to provide the Stephen King reference.)

Probably the only pun strictly speaking would be the first bit — there is always a problem with planting impatiens!

Posted to Facebook group “Unappreciated Puns” by user Kerriann O’Sullivan with message “Happy Monday from the Southern Hemisphere “, so I was sort of expecting to have to work out a joke based on Australian accent or usage. But no, as it turns out; this seems to work out okay in General American.
An Argyle twofer!
