Pearls Before Swine is so often in service of a pun that we may stop noticing when it pulls off a pretty good one!
Here’s a bit of a CIDU-OY.
Saturday Morning Oys – September 18th, 2021
Tag / To φ Or Not To φ
To phi or not to phi
What they’re resorting to
I only recently learned there is a newfangled fabric called “modal”, popular for linens[*] and underwear; which mostly explains the modal-logic joke for me. But some of the rest of these are still puzzling.
[*] No, linens are not presumptively made from linen. Though they can be. Oy!
“Could you scoot over and make some room?”
Probably a bit too technical (though not hard to look up). But the point of interest is in how it uses the tools of “photographic meme” but in a drawing. Would the same joke (about “getting cancelled”) work in a direct cartoon format?
Just some jargon
Also disturbing is that apparently they say ‘phi’ as a rhyme for ‘be’.
