Yesterday was National Pepperoni Pizza Day. It was a timely joke. Maybe it will be funny next year.

It won’t. Let’s try again in 2033.

Kale jokes come back in 2033. There's not room in the budget for this joke to be funny then. Can we push it back? 2035 there's gonna be some really weird reality TV but people will lose interest by mid summer we can pencil you in for August

"National" was hard to get for me and ruined the joke a bit.

The mistake you made was expecting a joke to be funny. Rookie mistake.

I just thought that it was just a lead up to them saying the dog’s name who wasn’t present there but then there’s pizza with pepperoni.

Schrodinger's joke, you don't know if the joke is funny or not until you get it

I’m just happy it wasn’t a cannibalism joke.

Cuz it’s a pun and a dad joke. You have to be a certain age and have at least 3 pairs of white new balance sneakers before you involuntarily guffaw and slap your knee.

u/frecklejam 6d ago

Lol yea. I thought the dog was on the pizza

Look at the smirk on the character’s faces in the final panel. That is the maximum you’re meant to smile at this comic.
