Punimals are a combination of an animal and an object that create a visual/verbal pun. The fun comes from trying to guess what the name of the combination is.
Worked for about 40 years in graphic arts as a designer, 30 years at Patuxent Publishing working on the Columbia Flier/Howard County Times and Patuxent Directories (Local phone books). When the directories were sold I went to work at Dankmeyer Inc. for 7 years as a prosthetic technician until I retired a few years ago.
