Mitch4 sends in this stinker: “This should really lead into another classic groaner:
You rip-pa deese?
You mend-a deese!”
Thanks to Mitch4 for sending this in: “guess it’s not strictly speaking puns, but certainly some kind of word-play. And it did take me a couple panels to see that there was some rule-following going on.”
Kedamono sends this in: “I dunno… it’s a street pizza fight? Or what?”
The toppings don’t look reliably different between the two gangs. Might be interesting if one gang had pineapple, and one did not.
Shouldn’t it be St. Peter who’s saying this?
Mitch4 sends this in as an LOL: “Good job of fooling us with the “drumsticks” in the middle panel.”
It’s a CIDU to me, though. I’m sure this is a reference to some musical instruments, but I’m short on specifics.
A twofer today (unrelated, not a synchronicity)

Linda sends this in: “It’s late. I’ve had two beers. I’m pushing 73 years old. Somebody explain this to me?”
Mouseover text: “People out here catching strays out here catching strays.”
Consul, the Almost Human sends this in: “I enjoy this long running Apple fan strip and usually get the gags. This one, not though.
Does this early Peanuts comic may provide Lucy the motivation for her endless football revenge on Charlie Brown?
Mitch4 sends this momentary CIDU in: “I was puzzled until learning that both “Mary Sue” and “plot armor” are fandom terminology.”
Hang on to your wallet, Auntie!
Mitch4 sends in this OY (maybe a momentary CIDU).
So, as a cure, will that leg have to be Hermetically sealed?
Marrose sends this in:
That famous scene:
This is Dan Thompson’s Brevity, so it’s almost certainly a pun, and probably one that is easily explained, so I’m not posting it as a CIDU. But I don’t get it, so pan-der to your editor and explain it to me.
billr sends this in: “Not a clue”.
Todd also has a problem with this: “I just don’t get it.”
That phrase is most closely associated with Apollo 13, but there’s no brides on that mission.
The other phrase closely associated with that movie is ““Failure is not an option”. This is a line written for the 1995 film Apollo 13, spoken by actor Ed Harris as Gene Kranz, though the real NASA Flight Director never actually said it during the mission.
Gene Kranz did motivational speaking after he retired from NASA, and adopted that phrase in order to create a bond with his audience. I heard him speak at one of our corporate sales conferences. Good speaker, but in the business we were in, failure certainly was an option. In fact, we were in the process of having our stock decline from $44/share to $1.30 a share and constantly shedding employees.
