You’re all under arrest for a SALT with a deadly weapon.
Neospector
I think I’ll just order some Habeas CREPES.
DrunkenGator
I think all this talk WARRANTs a slice of cherry pie with those crepes.
…what?
Andiemus
I submit my brief Amicus Culinae.
Sy
YES! I REALIZE this is a late response, I only just started reading this comic, but YES!
Also I hope your stepson doesn’t eat the fish… hell I hope you don’t end up in a situation where you get step children but time’s rearrangin, changin you and me…
Actually, it’s even more specific. “J’accuse” (literally “I accuse” in French) is a super-famous historical quote that gets thrown around, ever since Emile Zola used it as a title for his open letter. (Specifically, an open letter where he called all the guilty parties of the Dreyfuss Affair on their crap.)
What do you call a dessert on a cracker? Pudding on the Ritz.
In attempting to think up an example of generic dumb wordplay, I came up with that, Googled it, and found it’s been on the Simpsons. I feel that proves something.
Discussion (86) - “Guilty”
Jen Aside
In the food… COURT??
Plasma Mongoose
Have a JUDGE-mint!
DrunkenGator
Hey now. I demand ORDER in the Court!
…by the way, don’t eat the fish.
Yotomoe
Yeah. The CARPe Diem is a little raw.
Wonder Wig
Keep your hands away from her while she’s eating because Miranda BITES.
Yotomoe
Yeah. So BAILIFF you see her coming.
Aizat
Well, I WITNESS the meaning of the joke.
TheBenenator
OBJECTION! Too many puns!
Aizat
OVERRULED! You can never have too many puns.
MichaelHaneline
While you guys are wasting times making puns, I’m going to go get a slice of that 3-lawyer chocolate cake.
NobodySpecial
Joyce is just trying to avoid telling Dorothy that she has the body.
Wonder Wig
I was once a SUE chef at the food court.

Or at the BAR?
Khantalas
That was horrible and I feel horrible for laughing at it.
saltchocolate
I live for puns like this!
Plasma Mongoose
Joyce, if it wasn’t for the fact you don’t HAVE a job, I would suggest that you keep it.
Viredae
What if her job was a professional pun… sayer, thingy?
Plasma Mongoose
You can get paid to pun? I feel bad for doing it for free now. 😛
Robin
“If you’re good at something, never do it for free”. The Joker is a smart guy, we should probably listen to him.
Pseudowolf
Unless he wants to show you a magic trick.
Mr. Random
Hopefully the job would have a good …. punsion.

UUUUUURG!
Yotomoe
RAGGLE FRAGGLE!!!
Rex Hondo
*quickly changes gravatars*
RARGLE BLARGLE!!!
Aizat
A Grim Adventures reference? Damn, I old.
Yotomoe
Not really. That show was only on 10 ye-
oh god… no!!!
Hoboturtle
AW! Somebody help me!
Aizat
Why? Sounds like a joke I would do….though I always joke about the “order” bit.
timemonkey
Excellent deflection by Joyce, but how long can she keep it up and still maintain her relationship with Dorothy.
Kernanator
Is it a bad sign that I actually found this pretty funny?
BlueRam
Of course not. Puns are the HEIGHT of comedic wit!
Yotomoe
My Jokebook DON’T WANT NONE UNLESS YOU GOT PUNS, HON.
Rex Hondo
Then allow me to show you the current thread over at SP!
timemonkey
It could only have been better if the last panel had been her farting.
Yotomoe
And then slips on a banana peel.
Aizat
Or stepped on a rake.
Izzy
Jeph, where are you?! You need to make this comic better!
captainswift
Not at all. It was a groaner, but it was a magnificent groaner, and worthy of our admiration.
Erika Hammerschmidt
Indeed. It’s sad that she’s feeling guilty about how bad the pun was. (Or pretending to.)
Or was it a multiple joke, including a reference to the “you look guilty” accusation?
Yotomoe
Joyce is becoming gay. One second with Dorothy and she’s already thinking about J’cuzzis.
Uniqueantique
OMG. Joyce made a joke.
Chronos
That is one of the signs of the upcoming apocalypse. That or a sign that Joyce’s beginning to loosen up a bit. Whichever.
Sporky
That may be the cutest joke I’ve heard.
I don’t even know about funny necessarily, just really cute.
LOOK OUT!
I dont get it.
LOOK OUT!
Now I get it!
(if other people are dumb like me, the key is the plaintiff being considered the accused, or accusee)

AgentKeen
Also, it’s fun to say.
Narf
J’ACCUSE!
(you’re totally right!)
Aizat
I think Dorothy just walked into that one.
MarcinMN
And there’s that eyebrow thing Danny was talking about…
Static Air
I didn’t know Joyce knew French.
Lu86
…Yeah sorry, I have no idea what’s going on.
Icalasari
Accuse
Jacuzzi
|Agent
You know Phoenix Wright’s “OBJECTION!”? Well, the French have “J’ACCUSE!” which “I accuse YOU!”
And the plaintiff is the one accusing the defendant, so, Bob’s yer uncle.
Lu86
Ok. Yeah I get it now, ty. I guess explaining a joke IS like dissecting a frog.
Dierna
Oh Joyce. You so punny. 😛
Ryune
A++++++ joke, will steal again.
Barf Ninjason
I hope this doesn’t make Joyce late for her dentist appointment at TOOTH HURTY.
JA
Seems Claire’s bad puns from QC have also infected DoA.
Henry
Joyce, that was terrible, and you should feel terrible.

A small medium at large!
