I Don't Get It - Chien. Chien!


So no one seems to get this one, but I'm kind of used to that by now.

As with most puns there are two data bits you need to get. Here they are for this cartoon:

  1. The last line of the 1953 cowboy movie "Shane" has the boy Joey calling out as the title character has left: "Shane. Shane! Comeback! 'Bye, Shane."
  2. The French word for dog is chien, which if you do the oral equivalent of squinting, sounds like "Shane." Kind of.

Well, it is a nice drawing of Paris. And Joey came out pretty good.

Back to Chien. Chien! cartoon.
