Triple Entendre

Recently I wrote a series for Dilbert where Asok the intern dies, and is cloned back to life. But his DNA gets mixed up with a Snickers candy bar and he becomes half human, half snack. In the third panel of that comic, Asok awakes and asks, “Why do I feel nuts?”

I drew his arm in a way that would, I hoped, leave some humorous ambiguity about what type of nuts he was feeling. I expected that the comic would be banned in newspapers, and make an interesting anecdote for this blog. But apparently no one noticed the third possible interpretation of why a fellow with his hands under the sheets would feel nuts. I suppose it’s just as well.

You can’t get away with a double entendre in the comic pages, but apparently a triple entendre is safe.

Did you notice it?
