I Don't Get It

Mike du Jour is a new (to me) strip.  It appeared in the Washington Post when Richard Thompson sadly was forced to retire.  Mostly, it hasn't been remotely funny.  I keep hoping.

I don't get this one.  Is it what he wished for?  He doesn't look happy; he looks bewildered.  Is it a (not funny) joke on "foundation?"  And I don't think the "Make a Wish Foundation" has anything to do with birthday wishes.

I don't get it, but I approve of the results.

    Perhaps he wanted to shape up. :P

    I think it relates to 'Poof' as 1) the sound of candles being blown out and 2) a derogatory term for a gay man.

    If you take the idea that bras and the like are often called "foundation garments" maybe that explains it...

    Probably some combination of Sonora's and Dani's ideas, although I was assuming "pouf" as in a powder puff. If humor has to be explained, it really isn't funny.

    Hope you're enjoying "Reply All" in the Post as much as me.. do you?
