Can anyone explain to me the last of today's cartoons - "It's not even the first of the month"?

Thanks in advance.

We don't get it either! Now it's troubling us. Sorry.

Quite mystifying and unfunny but Googling "first of the month" gives a Wikipedia entry with:
Traditions also extend to saying on the first of each month: "A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month ..."

So perhaps that has something to do with it.

thanks for the link. I'd say that was definately it, it's a very well known tradition where I grew up / live.

Not at all funy though I don't think.

Thanks Harrhy. Yep, a rubbish cartoon but, fortunately, most of his work is great. I love the one of the dog dressed in John Travolta disco gear dancing on the tabletop with the owner saying 'Get down!'.

That sounds a bit more entertaining!
