Mark H. and Boise Ed send in another Frazz as a double OY from December 26 (important to understanding the pun): “The first oy is subtle, and depends on your understanding of the English.”
Full caption from the Jim Benton Cartoon:
” I think I’ve fallen in love with you.
Unless that’s not cupid and I’ve just been
shot by a little naked guy.”
