Ba-dum-bum!

See it here.

A tour de force, worthy of a borscht belt comedian today...

Burl is so cheap...

How cheap is he?

Not only is a price that would be low to you and me outrageously high to him, but he's willing to wallow in human excrement to prove it.

You have to wonder at the fact that the artist is still not sure everyone will understand the joke as told in the dialog balloons. So she layers in multiple supporting details.

• A little birdie in the background says "cheap cheap" to reinforce the point.
• Their female friend's shirt insures that we understand that Burl is complaining about the price, not happy about it.
• And, in case you're still missing all the subtle nuances of the joke, Burl and Joy's mugs reinforce the scatalogical content, with an assist from their male friend's shirt.

I'd say "thank you for the extra help" if I didn't harbor a nagging doubt that the artist included those details to insult me by implying I'm an idiot.

Some priceless marginalia today also.

• Burl's shirt contains a predictable and groan-inducing pun, once again worthy of a borscht belt comedian.
  
• I love Joy's garden. A whirligig, a scarecrow, and a large tomato cage to protect a single tiny plant. It has nothing to do with the rest of the panel, but there's something very sweet about the individual attention she gives to the one plant she's growing.
• And, thanks to the motion lines on the whirligig, we know the wind is blowing. A crucial detail that helps tie the entire strip together.
• It looks like the artist used cut-and-paste to duplicate the women's legs before drawing Joy's unnatural-looking hand in front of her leg. Was drawing two individual legs really that hard?
  
• What is going on with the pool? I tried to convince myself I was looking at a pool cover since the surface looks nothing like water, comes much too close to the top edge, and the inner-tube is perched on top of it in an unnatural (for water) way. But, in truth, I think it's just a lame drawing of a pool.
• Regarding the inner-tube, why does Krispy Kreme rate so highly that the artist doesn't mock their name with the standard sophomoric substitution (e.g., Adoodas, Pong). Maybe the illegible scribbling of the word "Kreme" contains a hilarious substitution I am unable to read.

My thanks to Josh over at The Comics Curmudgeon for the kind mention.
