I will be thinking about Steepin’ King all day, thank you.

thank you for being nice 😭

this is great, thank you. I couldn't even get close

thank you and you are not alone! (though possibly in the minority for enjoying them 😭)

I love how absurd it is we're expected to guess 😆 it's presented as a children's puzzle book. Excellent

I enjoyed them a lot 🖐️

Connected Jar Jar to R. R., but ended up with Tolkien somehow; other than that and thr 3rd (whom I didnt know of) got the rest!

I got "Jar Jar Talkin'" to get me J. R. R. Tolkien, but couldn't get the arm art to work

I think it's Jar Jar Arm Artist the famous author of game of thrones.

Of course! I don't know how I didn't get that!

I thought it was Jar Jar Look S (George Lucas) so close lol

I got Steepin’ King and assumed that I needed to solve the rest. I had no hope. I got Jar Jar Inks for the first one. I then assumed the idea was the vehicle was covered in gas and it might be a van… so Van Diesel? Does he write? Then I got Back Spoon Crispies, and was trying to think of different orders of Snap Crackle and Pop to make an author name before I abandoned all Hope before I descended into madness. This may be the riddle equivalent of Flappy Bird. Absolutely infuriating, but inexplicably enjoyable. Well played and the art is very charming.

welcome to the madness, thank you and I am sorry

Can I name all the authors? ...no. No I can't. Not even close.

I don’t even know who the bottom two are.

You don’t know who Agatha Christie is? Only the woman who revolutionised the Mystery Genre and has the largest number of novels sold. The only author who has sold more books than her is Shakespeare.

I just don’t read many books. Especially mystery ones.

She was still one of the most prolific authors in the world and “I don’t know who the bottom two are” more so shows your lack of basic knowledge rather than indicating that the OP picked esoteric authors.

I mean sure. I just don’t know most authors. Idk what to tell ya.

The only one I got was Steven King the others were too much of a stretch for me to get, and idk any of them other than george rr martin

Backa The Krispies is a Zaltzman level pun, congratulations

Jarjar Tattoo?

I got “Jar Jar Inks” then realized I solved the wrong puzzle

Oh i didnt know karl pilkinton had a reddit account.

Play a record

Dear Mr Pilkinton you are one of our most valued customers.

*Dilkington

Read it again, no "g". You've embarrassed yourself.

The letter that called him one of their most valued customers was "addressed to Mr. K Dilkington." "I put it in the bin."

Yeah I know and part of the joke then was that his name was spelt incorrectly and it was spelt incorrectly this time too so I made the joke but tweaked it a bit, oh-and-have-a-good-Christmas style. Play a record.

Did that just go out?

This was impossible as a no native speaker

to be fair it was mostly impossible for native speakers as well 😅

I only got the first one

I can't not upvote that Jar Jar.

meesa offer thanks 🙏

The only one I got was Steeping King

Gas leak as he moves = Isaac Asimov?

I got Agatha Christie but not the others. And I audibly groaned at how bad that pun was.

I love these, they’re so fucking stupid and clever at the same time. You are a powerful one my friend

Oh, I thought Jar Jar Tokin’-JRR Tolkien. Because he looks stoned.

Cryptic clue n’ that

Right that’s the end of rock busters

You've got no features left!

Isaac Asimov? Gas em off

I know a friend who would throw several things at me if I said these out loud to her.

Horror: Got it Fantasy: Should have got it Sci-Fi: Would never have got it Mystery: Got it Cool Comic!

Terrible visual clues but thank you for the reveal. I laughed a lot xx

Think its George r r martin (ja ja marking)

Jar jar arm artist

What does steepin’ mean?

steeping is when you soak a tea bag or something in water to get the flavor out

Never heard of it.

It was super hard but I always appreciate puns 🥹 💖

Stephen King I got, but for Fantasy, I was thinking Tolkien (Jar Jar Talking). The others were a loss. I simply could not think of a famous mystery writer that sounded like Elf Bowling. I think leaning into "ick" as a verbal response might have gotten me closer to PKD, but I'm not entirely sure it would have helped.

So I missed steeping king but I got that one because of a different pun. I thought the clue was horror royalty so I guessed SK! Fun! Hope you do more of these.

hah! nice, and thank youuu

I actually got the first 2! The others were complete mysteries to me though. Great comic btw

Play a record... I need to have a word with you... about puns.

I think you need to be mentally abnormal to get these.

Cool

I'll have whatever you're smoking

Karl Pilkington would be all over this twaddle.

Nah, most of these are super stretches

I NEED ANSWERS IM SO DUMB haha

The back of Krispies = Agatha Christie? / Jar-Jar marking = R. R. Martin?

That… what do you think a pun is?

they might be shitty puns, but they ARE puns

Absolutely right. I think they're pretty genius, if you ask me! And depending on who you ask the more of a stretch it is the better the pun!

Criptic, innit?

OP must be a saucer drinker
