Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

See but now is it implying he's actually a Mr. Perfect or that he's someone who pretends insistently to be Mr. Perfect? Because if they are building nukes, how often are they actually testing for duds? Is this implying he never makes a dud and everyone where everyone else sometimes does, or that he pretends to never make a dud when realistically nobody will never know until the warheads start flying and it becomes a drop in the pool?
I choose to believe it's the latter, that he "takes pride in making the best bombs, with no duds" whereas the disgruntled colleague understands that everyone is expected to never make a dud and that such a boastful claim is baseless since nobody will be able to prove it until Armageddon.
