Seriously, juancarlos's misreading is truly histerical. Not only does he mistake the word, he still makes it work in an amusing manner. He jams that square peg into a round hole without even noticing the effort involved.

A square peg will easily fit into a round hole. It all just depends on the diameter.

1) Yes. Pedantry is always necessary and its own reward.
2) I never understood that expression. Honestly. Square pegs easily go into round holes. It's not really a function of shape. I find it to be a deeply confusing expression.

You don't understand the expression? You know those children's toys that tend to look like a little plastic workbench? And they have different shaped holes which are all about the same size. They have circles, squares, maybe a triangle or something. And there are corresponding plastic pieces that fit these holes, and children take the pieces and fit them in the holes, maybe with the assistance of a little plastic hammer. It builds shape recognition and hand-eye coordination. The pieces and the holes are designed so that each piece only fits its corresponding hole. Thus, you cannot put the square peg in the round hole, because the hole's diameter isn't big enough.
Anyway, I think you do understand the expression and are just being smug and difficult.

No, I understand the expression, but it's never really made a lot of sense to me. A square peg is the next best thing to fit into a round hole and fill it more or less completely. It only requires a slightly larger diameter as well. It just always seemed like a weird expression to me. Trying to fit the square peg into the triangular hole always seemed like it would be a hell of a lot more difficult and fruitless. Not trying to be difficult or anything, it's just how I feel. Perhaps I was speaking poorly earlier.

Not to mention that fitting a square peg into a slightly smaller round hole is a proven method of joining two pieces of wood without nails.

Any strip that ends with Lyle flipping someone off is an automatic 5 from me. Usually because it's so completely unnecessary but Lyle just can't resist adding JUST A LITTLE MORE insult.

Lyle's "Bird" in this strip is entirely the anti-climactic gold that really makes me enjoy Onstad's humour. Sometimes by not trying to hard it's funnier on so many other levels.

Little does Lyle know his dolly-sittin' butt will someday trounce him in an all out test of supernal manliness.
It's interesting to think whether Onstad always had these future directions for the characters planned or if he just kind of winged it.

This is also my favorite comic so far. I just love how Lyle looks so pissed off while he's the one insulting Mr. Bear. That finger at the end is the perfect ending too. Just a totally unnecessary punctuation mark he throws in.

How would Ray react if it was him instead of Cornelius?
"Classic Lyle".
Yeah, his character is pretty much canon by this point.
He'd act dignified about it, pretend to blow it off, then never use the thing again.
He'd just sit there, not being a woman, and Lyle would be wrong
Wow, all of those are good answers.

Whatever dude. You be all stanky and gross if you want to. I'm a sit here and be cool while you go and wash your socks in some old soup and get thrush so as a dog vomits when you go near. Perhaps I'll go to a club later. I'll get rutty with some of the ladies you compare me to, on account of my not smelling like half a racoon in a sack.
