Don't Haze Me, Bro

Today's WaynoVision cartoon presents an imaginary phone conversation.

Last week, I drafted a lengthier post about this cartoon, but deleted it in favor of letting the panel speak for itself, at whatever level of meaning each reader may find in it. 

I'll close with a brief (if less than eloquent) exchange from a Twitter Q&A session that GoComics hosted last month:

Q: Which do you prefer, puns or slapstick?

A: A joke can be fun nonsense, but the best gags have a point of view and make a comment. I prefer a layer of truth beneath the layer of funny.
