How did she make that happen?
Okay, it has been explained to me. Hence, marked “CIDU-solved”.
But it’s already scheduled, and rather than scurry to replace it let’s give some eager cidu-beaver the opportunity to jump in and say “Well clearly, ….”
Nice variant on the classic “desert crawler” comic meme.
From librarian(s) comes this one. What subjects (or high school activities) did you find surprisingly useful in later life?

A blatant case of obnoxious literalism
A very touching moment; especially since, in the Harry Bliss world, it’s likely that the dog understands this well, and is pleased to have this news shared with him.
So it’s easy to understand: a sentimental interaction. But how do we understand this as a comic? Is there any sort of joke, or comedy, or humor (apart from calling positive toned emotions “a good humor”)? As our category asks, Is that all there is?
Realistically, he would not have so simply found a vet who would go along with this. It still is a bit of a shocker!
It looks like we only have part of a caption here. Can you finish it?

Well, it’s a double-entendre, so it qualifies, but not at all subtle. The next strip shows LuAnn has chosen a different title, which helps a little.

I guess I understand the main joke correctly — putting your right hand into the instrument’s bell is a technique used with the horn (French horn), and this guy has carried over the habit into his playing the trombone. But why is he at a doctor’s? Because it got stuck? Did he do that while playing? No, you couldn’t reach — so it was from the minute he picked it up? Weren’t there resources to go to before a doctor? The players in the low brass section of whatever ensemble he plays with?
Anyhow, let’s not let the horn theme pass without checking in with Flanders and Swann:

I was thinking of this as a CIDU until I saw a comment at GoComics suggesting they are collecting signatures on a petition — for a candidate or for a ballot measure, we can’t say. The car does put them outdoors. Certainly there are still questions, but can we ask all to refrain from objecting to the co-occurrence of the “(Not a CIDU)” category for the LOL listing post and a stray “CIDU” categorization for the lingering doubts of this cartoon?
So it’s still snail week at BOB MANKOFF PRESENTS: SHOW ME THE FUNNY (ANIMAL EDITION).
