Warning: This comic contains a pun, or play on words. If you are in any way offended by puns (perhaps a family member was killed by a loaded pun, or perhaps you’re a member of an anti-pun religious sect, or perhaps you’re just weird), then I suggest you refrain from reading this comic. If you already read this comic and are offended by it, please send any and all hate mail to Eileen at. She had nothing to do with today’s strip, but she has a lot of experience with hate mail and knows exactly what to do with it.
I have been informed by Orvis and Recreation.gov that fly fishing brings one close to nature. I can see how standing in the middle of a stream would do that. Clearly Orvis and Recreation.gov have in mind a proximity that is more than just physical. Unfortunately, they do not specify. Orvis, however, claims that fly fishing facilitates this proximity by requiring one to mimic prey, whereas Recreation.gov cites fly fishing’s requirements for skill and grace. Curious as to where fly fishing might deliver one, I decided to do some research.
Have any of you ever had a gnome infestation? They’re the worst. They carve these little niches in your body and just start living there as if it were some fleshy motel. Gnomes aren’t known for their cleanliness, either, so after a week or two of living inside your body, the toilet’s backed up, the sheets are stained, and the floor is covered with fast food wrappers, newspaper clippings, and vintage porno mags. Keep in mind this is all happening inside your body.
This is completely hypothetical. It’s also an image.
