This joke would be a lot funnier if there was actually a dead body… But let’s be real, that’s just adding way too many things into the CUPS canon in short order. Also, I don’t really feel like cat homicide story-telling is something that I’m interested in dipping my feet into with this strip.
Lester and Norah considered going with PMS 360, but realized quickly that it was way too bold of a color. Then they shortly considered PMS Cool Gray 4C, and while it’s certainly subdued enough, they ultimately decided that it was too drab for a young child.

I think they made the right decision with the 277. Colorful enough to be interesting, not too loud to bug the baby. Good call, Josephs.

Certainly surprised me when I found this out in passing that one time that may or may not have actually happened.
He left out the best part which is when he spent 13 months as a bounty hunter tracking down Klan zombies. They made a movie about it, but I don’t know who ‘they’ are, and I’m pretty sure it was a lie anyway.
