Puck 355 - Alternate Joke (Patreon)

This is an alternate take on Puck 355, with rearranged panels and all new dialogue.  And a joke involving the Three Stooges.  You can maybe see why I didn't go with this one, even though I think it's funnier than the 'good' version of the strip.

I always try to avoid having the primary punch line in a comic be a pop culture ref, primarily because it just falls flat for everyone who doesn't get the reference.  I prefer to have the pop culture jokes be funny asides that you can get or not get, as the case may be.  

But this is a 'no holds barred' forum, so I'm letting loose!
