Puns, discovered on eon old Sumerian cuneiform writings, are some of the oldest forms of humor known to man. Humor does not get any lower than a pun. To pun is to groan. I do love puns.
Peter Edwards delivers non-stop punnery paired with zany ink scratches, providing much needed levity to counter the daily dose of fishstressing current events in Little Fears Presents January. A lively and quick read, delivering your daily dose of groans.
A fleeting and final dose of groans from the 2017 O. Henry Pun Off winner, Southpaw Jones:
