Did you know that as of April 1 2024, Youtube had no videos definitively explaining how to make puns? Well as of April 2, 2024, it'll have this one! With the experience of the writer of a published Webtoon Featured Comic, and the rhetorical wisdom of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Senator and Consul of Ancient Rome, this abridged guide to puns will make short work of your humorous needs!

This is indeed a little different than my usual fare, so if it was a fool's errand to make it, I guess that'd at least be appropriate. Let me know your thoughts, and your puns, below!
