No, doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Zippy.
To cite the Classic CIDU Question, what’s the joke?
One might think that Wayno’s blog would help, but his comments on this one were mostly about how he rearranged the panel version for the strip version.
Obligatory pedantic note: I still don’t like to see “invite” as a noun in place of “invitation”!
Betty’s son asks a question, and sure enough farther down my GoComics feed, I find the answer in Big Nate: First Class!
We almost put this Other Coast in tomorrow’s Mothers’ Day collection.
This one probably was the basis for the “word play in general” category.
Sent in by >>Boy-see Ed<<, who says “This one suits me to a tea”.

A good addition to the tradition of ursine puns.
(I had to convince auto-complete not to write “urine”.)
Main picture in an email from the ASPCA with subject Horses Seeking Stable Homes:
Rather tough talk from a therapist! (But this client seems to deserve it.)
Today’s trivia question: what U.S. vice-president had a Billboard #1 hit?
This next one depends on remembering when Lars von Trier and friends declared the Dogme 95 principles for filmmaking. (And probably does not require remembering the Kevin Smith film Dogma.)
With this December 2011 Brevity, we’re getting a bit into OYs.
And we interrupt our parade of Oldies to drop in a Duffy Lug Nuts on the same theme from current GoComics publication:
Almost a pun failure, as it is arguable the joke of her equivocation is already well-cemented in panel 3 and then the clues in panel 4 are just a waste. But probably it is also arguable that many a reader would miss the gag in panel 3 and there is a definite need for panel 4 …
And this dampens my hope of someday understanding what “fugue state” is or is not related to.
Yes, it’s the same David Mamet better known as a playwright.
Getting triple duty from one little affix!
Since this is announced as dealing with puns, how could we pass it up?
Interesting – the cartoonist doesn’t actually show us the missing word, which must combine raccoon and centaur.
I felt sure CIDU had somewhere printed this Bizarro:
But apparently not. It must have felt familiar because I had seen it the previous week in several places already (email, CK, Wayno’s blog, Piraro’s blog, …). But apparently not right here on these pages.
Why was I looking for it? So that I might drop into a comment on whatever post or thread the Bizarro appeared in, this 1991 Far Side, featuring the same deadly weapon, appearing just recently on the current Far Side archive site.
