PVP Guest Art is Awesome

I rarely post here, but when I saw Lewis' recent post, I knew I had to provide a counterpoint. First, a disclaimer: Lewis hates puns. I don't think he even understands how puns work. When I first showed him the "headphones" strip on PvP, I had to explain the double meaning several times. Even after he understood it, I explained it a few more times. Given all this, I think he was unfairly biased against the joke. His post isn't motivated by any concern over a pun being used twice. He's just upset that it was a pun.

Here's something interesting, though. Before either of us read the guest strip, Scott Kurtz mentioned it on the Business of Webcomics panel at Comic-Con. Lewis and I were both in attendance, and when he heard the joke there, before having had time to think about it and decide to act disdainful of puns, he laughed out loud. The simple humor of the "headphones" idea won through, and now he regrets having reacted to what he considers a base pleasure.
