Today’s Bizarro:
A labradoodle performing magic: abracadabra [the magical incantation] + labradoodle = abracadabradoodle.
But labradoodle is itself a portmanteau: labrador (retriever) + poodle.
There are obvious limits to how far such layering can go on, since the bits of the contributing words quickly become hard to retrieve — though an illustration might help, as here.

I’m disappointed in Dan Piraro on this one.
Clearly it should have been “Labracadabradoodle.”

And there’s that piece of pie again, unless it’s supposed to be the head of a crocodilian.
