Seems like Brevity tries out a pun every single day. Sometimes they may hit all right.
Ah well, this may raise the perpetual question, Can an auditory pun survive being put into writing when that breaks up a double meaning?
From Andréa, as a kind of Arlo-OY:
Also Andréa:
This is not a full-fledged Sunday comic, but the intro and the two “throwaway” panels. Yet here is where the funny bit was!
From Mark Jackson:
Of course people have always thought “Ira Roth” could be someone’s name.
Oh wait! Just noticed that Arnold Zwicky’s blog goes into linguistic and referential detail about this one.
Do they have something backwards, tho?
Hmm, the status as an OY may be slightly dubious, but it’s worth it.
A possible double pun, from Andréa:
(A Super-Fun-Pak Comix)
Bizarro provides an excellent new word! Via Andréa:
Also via Andréa:
From Andréa, here is a matched pair of geezer-warning Oys!
Was that a good word-play or more simply a LOL?
A real groaner from XKCD, sent to us by Mark Jackson:
This Argyle Sweater from Andréa — but is it still sweater weather there?
Thanks to Andréa and Boise Ed for this Ewww about superhero color sensitivity:
Has this appeared on CIDU before? Maybe not, but at this previous thread there was an Argyle with a closely related question.
This one from Andréa as certainly some sort of word play, whether or not an oy-type pun!
A tonne-twigster plus punning label from Mark Jackson:
It gets oddly complicated because moot on its own is already something of a self-antonym.
From Andréa.
And another from that Andréa!
Sent in by Andréa, BillR, and Dan Sachs; this is somewhat of a CIDU-OY. You may need to brush up on your triggernometry!
