#37: Hyphen explain

Hyphen

[Cueball (on the left) is talking to his Cueball-like friend (on the right) about a car (left to both of them) that resembles a Volkswagen Beetle. Above the drawing is a statement:]

My hobby: whenever anyone calls something an [adjective]-ass [noun], I mentally move the hyphen one word to the right.

Cueball: Man, that’s a sweet ass-car.
