So long as "her/she" weren't introduced already, the gag would be better, for me:

-Would you like to buy?
-Dunno, can I sleep on it first?

Anyway, today's I really liked.

Phew, thank Gawd for that ?, and so pleased you like today's ?

Yes, I understand "I'd smash it", or whatever, Herc, but it's messy when "her" has already been used in the sentence. For me, that's a structurally compromised joke.

Sleep on it is a saying so that's the only way it will work.

Love the man's cross face.

Not unless the 'Lady' was hiding behind the door all the time.

Well it would have to be a funny shaped room

Less of this pedantic squabbling! It's a cartoon convention that doors have things written on them to clarify the joke. Honestly!

I'm not squabbling (Mr Pick Holes in Giles cartoons ?) - it's Bill and Billy, the terrible twosome nit picking

Quite right,, but just one more. According to the Archimedes Principle, if that bloke laid down in the bath it would overflow.

Reverse (more normal ?) of that card

Love the way they call themselves Miss or Mister.
