Cop: Clown license and registration please, for you AND Fancy-pants over there. Cop: Alright, your paperwork checks, but Mr. Too-big-for-his-britches's is just an old moist towelette. Humphry: You mean a dry towelette, Officer? Cop: You guys know the deal: no license, no tom-mimery. I think Ragnar-shaggy-trousers needs to spend a couple of hours in lockup. [["Philosophy is fun!" banner]] Philosopher: Jail scares no mime! For what is the life of a mime but an interminable metaphysical imprisonment? Cop: With the muteness and all the bumping into invisible crap, they're like the Helen Kellers of street performance. I guess I can cut him some slacks. H: Mute?! You know Helen Keller was a banshee, right? Cop: Oh. Well, um, so is your mime pal Cop: Under the right conditions.

Please forgive us for the pants puns and save a little forgiveness in the tank because we’re not through with them just yet. In fact, we’re not done with any of the awkward wordplay; it’s a guilty pleasure. In the original version of this comic, the cop called the crazy philosophy didact Immanuel Can’t. We had to draw the line somewhere.

For the, at most, two of you with knowledge of the lesser viking heroes, I’m sure this is the first and last time it ever comes in handy. And don’t expect there to be any further mention of that gunshot wound. As with any sensible comedy, we ignore plot elements that might cause future inconvenience.

Most importantly, we implore friends, family, and foreigners to tell us what they adore and abhor about our page. Feedback helps us to make the site prettier and the jokes snappier. We still have a few of these earlier strips lying around, and we’ve got to get these ones up before we can release our newer ones with more betterer art and more awesomer writing. If you all do help us, as a reward (or punishment) for said help, we’ll post an extra comic on Sunday.

In case you were wondering what the amorphous purple blob sitting atop the “Science is Fun” booth is, it’s a pile of fish. I recognize that right now, the art is pretty bad, but it does eventually get better, I promise.

Why Will decided that the crazed science guy needed a pile of purple fish is anyone’s guess.
