When Dad and Gramma team up for punning.

I shouldn't have attempted to tackle a Symboli Rudolf comic.
The wordplay seems simple, but I can't understand it at it's core.

And Maruzensky references are old and obscure...

行っておきなさい → 行っておいで → 行っといで → 行っトイレ
戻っておきなさい → 戻っておいで → 戻っといで → 戻っトイレ

"After five" and "now-i" are also outdated Shouwa-era bubble period slang.

It's hard to think of a way to localize those ones... XP
Thanks for the explanation.

There, I made a very bad joke, feel free to delete it if it's that bad. XD

Are Rudolf's puns supposed to be funny, or cringe?
I understood only Nice Nature laughs at them.

Cringe.

Maximum dadjoke-level cringe. Japanese sometimes call this kind of joke おやじギャグ too. Because these are the sort of jokes dads would like to say.
