This is inspired by another Dr. Fun cartoon. Dave Farley is a wonderful source of scientific, frequently rude, and always funny daily cartoons.
Consider a balloon character, one that never, ever ages, no matter how the years go by. The reason for this is that the balloon has a portrait in his closet. It is this portrait that ages, showing the vicissitudes of time and the inevitable deflation of the balloon — The Puncture of Dorian Grey.
Bob Dvorak Comments:
You know, the balloon character was probably a freelance writer at one time. What you’re seeing is hack you puncture.
