Mitch4 sends in this stinker: “This should really lead into another classic groaner:
You rip-pa deese?
You mend-a deese!”
Thanks to Mitch4 for sending this in: “guess it’s not strictly speaking puns, but certainly some kind of word-play. And it did take me a couple panels to see that there was some rule-following going on.”
Ian C sends this in: “This is probably obvious with the correct cultural context but I have no idea what it is named.
Mitch4 sends this in: “Somewhat disappointing that at the end he seems to give up at disguising the names when he just outright names the presidential libraries.”
I’m missing whatever’s hidden in “I’m just saying I’m going to forbid encampment anyways ’til this is done.” The phrasing seems Taylor-made for having some president hiding.
Mitch4 sends this in: “A spelling-based pun, with the extra step that a ringing telephone doesn’t actually emit the word “RING”.”
billr sends this in: “The guy at the top of the tower seems to be saluting. I got nothing here.”
Don’t worry. They’ll get a light sentence.

Not really an OY, but a wordplay. It reminds me of words that seem like they should have an opposite, but don’t.
You can be disgruntled, but not gruntled, for example.
Or convoluted, but not voluted;
disgusted but not gusted;
disturbed but not turbed;
preposterous but not postpreterous.
Kedamono sends this in: “Just a funny thought, though the title implies that the writer owned those Hobbits. Merry and Pippin would like a word with them behind the shed about that.”
Primary season coming up.
Kedamono sends in this OY / Ewww
Mitch4 sends this in as an “attempted OY – I’m not sure “look after” supports both meanings well. Perhaps “take care of” would be more what the capo would say.”.
