"You can tune a guitar, but you can't tuna fish. Unless of course, you play bass." —Douglas AdamsYou may ask; what is a pun? Wikipedia encyclopedia is a good source to answer this question. A pun is a variety of a usually humorous play on words involving the multiple meanings of an expression, or two expressions that sound similar.
Many English teachers agree that “the ability to make and understand puns is the highest level of language development”.
Below you will find a cartoon depicting an original way to describe a situation at the workplace.

As technology explodes into our mainstream vocabulary, our children are incorporating these words into their own vocabularies. Sometimes they speak a language so different from "adult language", that they are creating their own "sub-language" for their own consumption. If you read what children or teens write in a chat forum, it would be exactly like reading kanji characters. The following cartoon depicts this point very well. Take a look.

Some cartoonists, in an effort to be original, are mixing violence with children's cartoons. Such is the case with an unfortunate cartoon depicting a boxing match between Tweety and Woodstock (see next page). At an early age, children should be exposed to positive family values. Funny cartoons and short stories are an excellent way of doing it. Characters like Tweety, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Bean Stalk, Barney, Cinderella, Casper, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and so forth, have properly been used by parents to promote positive family values for decades. Tainting them with violence is destroying the innocence of children. What do you think? Comments are welcomed and encouraged.
