songspeak

When the fish hits your eye

Stephan Pastis draws Pearls Before Swine, a syndicated cartoon running in over 150 newspapers. Heather recently came across this one that really illustrates (har har har) what songspeak is.

This terrible pun (that sounds like a typical something out of the Matt catalog of jokes) is a reference to the song, That’s Amore, written in 1952 and made popular by Dean Martin.

    I always think of Frigo Foods when I hear that song. I wonder if they have moray on the menu

    Frigo Foods is probably the best place for an italian sandwich, moray or less.
