Here's an appalling pun to get you started with your Sunday. 😜

This took me way too long to get

Can you clue me in? I'm sure it's funny, I love this artist. But I'm lost here. Lol

Took me a while to get, too.

The headline reads “Employee of the Moth.” It’s a moth selecting its favorite employees.

OMG, I thought it was a fly and missed the word moth! Lol

This is important for the moth because he can't give verbal praise.

I loved how you played with my preconceived idea of the "employee of the month". Then guided me to observe the cartoon and find my own mistaken reading. This was a very interesting construction of a pun. Great work @CustardFist.

Subverting expectations. I learned that from Rian Johnson. ☝️😁

Just please don't go nuts with the principle. Subverting expectations as in Game of Thrones seasons 7-8 or The Last of Us Part II is a whole different story.
