Well, maybe a few comments, too. Here it s:

A pun is when a word has two meanings at once.

Oxymoron is a real word. It’s the word for a self-contradictory phrase, such as “quiet explosion.”

I guess having one’s eyes crossed and tongue hanging out are signs of low IQ, hence moron. What do you think?

Okay, the “correct” term is “emotional support dog.”

She said “emotional sport dog.” Is that a pun? Or maybe it’s a malaprop. I’d vote for malaprop. What’s your opinion? (If you don’t know what a malaprop is, go use the search box in the upper right corner.)

Just some state puns.

Can you think of any more?

First panel. What are the hens doing? Laying or lying?

The hen says “lay.” But is she referring to laying eggs or being passive and lying in their nests? Maybe the author is wrong; maybe he’s presenting the hen as somewhat illiterate.

Don’t you be illiterate!

Not much of a lesson (just a pun) but being a tech writer, I couldn’t resist.

Actually, in my trade, we have no such thing as minor edits…
