Argyle Sweater
This is one of my favourite cartoons, called Argyle Sweater, it is featured every Sunday as a single strip cartoon, so the punch line must be made in just one panel. I have 'got it' most times, maybe 8 out of 10, but one needs to be quite conversant in common English phrases and quotes to realise it is a play (occasionally a pun) on the phrase or even a word.
In this case, this cartoon above is a play about the phrase 'selling like hotcakes' which means to sell so very well it does not need a dedicated salesperson. In Arnie Winkler's case, he has these cartons upon cartons of hotcakse and he can't seem to sell them, hence the title "World's Worst Salesman".
