Mike: We beat up on Batiuk a lot, so maybe he should be thrown a rose when he gets a decent laugh. (and this also echoes the strips transformation over time)

And we’re back live.
Of course by “live” I mean I put this comic in the queue back in June and it would have gone live this morning whether I’d come home from Boston or not.
And it happens to be several years old.
But still.
So what answer was he looking for?

(And is there anybody here who can’t come up with a word that not only makes for a better gag but sounds more like “philatelist” than “pessimist” does?

Is there an actual play on words involved here, or is this simply a random, pointless, Dollyesque mispronunciation?

Is “four pencils and an eraser” another well-known phrase that Tom Batiuk made up? And is that actually a punchline?
I’d actually have described four regular basketball players and a much taller center as a message from Batiuk to his readers.
