Description
Part of my job as a dad is teaching my kids about humor and sarcasm and jokes and comedic timing. Especially my oldest, who really likes making jokes and comics of his own. If you’ve ever been around a kid trying to make up their own joke, you know how painful this can be!
When my son comes up with an idea for a joke, I like to help him improve it in small ways: cut down the number of words, lose this explanation, etc. A lot of this is stuff he’d learn on his own, but I want him to be able to identify potential stumblingblocks early on so he knows how to self-correct.
Today’s joke was one he came up with. The first two panels are his, and the last one is mine. The lesson here was figuring out how to go beyond the punchline to find another. A lot of times even the most obvious joke has something even more ridiculous just below the surface if you’re willing to look for it.

I feel like that term is so good it needs to be added to a dictionary.

Reminds me of when Ron Weasley's cracked wand backfired into his chest and he was barfing up snails for a few chapters.

Thanks! Her eyes are typically symmetrical like that.

See, this is what happens when you swallow the seeds from lemons. They grow into phlegmons and you choke on them.
