Comic #1456

Two wrongs combined to make a right in this one.

I originally had this written as the straight "Jamiaca?" gag, where the punchline would have been, "No, she went of her own accord."*

But then I realised two things:

I'd done this joke before.
Looking up Port Royal's geographic relationship to Jamaica, I was disappointed to learn that Port Royal indeed was in Jamaica.

But then I realised that this would make a new and potentially even funnier joke done this way. Wow, I've improved on one of my favourite silly jokes of all time. I stagger myself sometimes. (Yeah, yeah, I know most of you probably read this and went, "Eh... hopefully tomorrow's strip will be better." Allow me a moment of rampant egotism.**)

* If you don't quite get that, "Jamaica?" sounds very much like "'dja make her?", a casual pronunciation of "Did you make her?" This is a reasonably well known joke, at least in Commonwealth versions of English, but may not be entirely clear to non-native English speakers.

** That's egotism, not ergotism. That would be bad. <twitch> <twitch> <giggle>
