Now, having said THAT, I'd like to comment on "the state of rebuses on this website".
I'm very pleased to see the editors (again) accepting "near" sound-alikes (homophones) for rebus material.
Good rebuses often require that "creative leap" (from "near" homophones to "spot on" homophones) in the development thereof.
Also requires the same "leap" from the solver.
And that's the beauty of a good rebus. If it were merely a pedantic, linear, step-by-step solution methodology then it might be - technically - a "correct" rebus, but one not nearly as much fun or as challenging.
Good job, Editors !!
Good job, Mr. Putter !!
MORE, MORE, please !!

Thank you for the compliments, BBjr!
Your rebuses had inspired me to think more outside the box.

I got it! Yay! Only after looking at the hint though - otherwise I wouldn't have a clue who Triton was. I liked it.
Good one.
