Ah, but the blank space where there was no pun could have had a pun in it. And since it wasn't narrowed down by being committed to any one particular pun, it contained an infinite pun potential. In essence, therefore, that post contained every conceivable pun in potentiality.

Ah, so you're talking about a quantum-mechanical field of virtual puns! Puns and anti-puns, appearing in pairs and then disappearing again, flickering into existence for so short a time that the reader never has time to perceive the horrors lurking just beneath the surface of the continuum.

That's simply brilliant!

I must find a way to harvest this punnish form of vacuum energy. Hey, Glytch, have you got anything which can extract these puns from the field... a sort of linguistic Hawking radiation?

You're bad enough without me helping you harness the entire multiverse's uncollapsed wave function of puns!

Hmmmm, I think you are just trying to confuse the pun jar!!!! (here doggy, catch the ball! {pretends to throw ball} and doggy searches forever for the ball... )

Okay, where's the pun hiding? I don't see it either...

Highlight under the quote to reveal background colored text.

even simpler, and does not need a magnifier... just click the 'quote' button to see it clearly....

PUN??? I think Dave thought he saw one, trying to use a 'star wars' meme, "Luke, I am your father"...

then everyone went on a 'pun frenzy'...

AndyO posts new Too Much Information, Disappeared. He refers to a Siren who was Ace's Guardian when he was seven, named Leucoisa (same spelling as used here).

There wasn't a pun there... at least not any I had intended. Just a reference to an overused trope that I'm sure we'd rather Paul avoided.

Ahem .. {cough}

What if: Kevin is Atsali's father, suffering from a really bad case of amnesia?

EEEEyeah...no. Don't force me to sic the Pun Jar on you.

This is not "Telanovela Wapsi Square", Dave.

I fail to see what the Pun Jar would have to do with that one...

so Ok then.. and chic geek followed...

Also, I'm getting the feeling that Paul is world-building for the next arc that will be something like the calendar machine in length. That one took 2001 through 2006 to set up, then '06 - '10 to complete. What I'm saying is WoG is Atsali becomes a YA adventure writer of her fictionalized autobiography, this is setting up for her next adventure, but a really long one.

I like this. Wapsi has been missing the long range plot that ties the strips together. Plot wise it's been kind of light for some time. Though if Paul is going in this direction, then we now know Monica is way too powerful to write for easily, the golem girls storyline is wrapped up, and now we have a collection of para teenagers on one side and a misbehaving shadow government on the other. There is lots of plot potential. Now is there a mcguffin?

Castela is the mcguffin

I spent hours searching YouTube for a GI Joe episode called "The McGuffin Device". Never found the video, which nicely parallels the show: they never found the Device either, Cobra or the Joes.

There's a film called "The Double McGuffin" that was shot here in Atlanta in the 80s. I recall it being a decent film intended for a young audience.
