Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Part of the problem might also be that not everywhere pronounces cot the same. See the cot-caught merger. I'm from a part of the US where cot and caught are still pronounced differently and I pronounce twat like cot, both with a short a sound.
What's the joke?
I don't think the cot/caught merger would be a problem, though I suppose it's not impossible that in places in the US with the merger, the word in question always rhymes with cat.
As for the joke, one telling can be found here: A dwarf and a horse
