Flea at last, thank God almighty we are flea at last!

Andrew Miller sends this in: “This sounds like a reference to some phrase. ‘Friends with benefits’ is the only similar thing I can think of and would be a stretch at best. Also not sure why one dog has opposable thumbs and a smartphone. Is the joke just “fleas are contagious?” That would be less of a joke and more of a useful tip for a child that just discovered them.

Since I have space in the comment box and it’s come to mind, I’ll recite De Morgan’s Siphonaptera:

Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite ’em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.”

The Thorax Clinic

Uncle $crooge sends this in: “It’s probably some kind of weird McEldowney fetish so I probably will regret sending this in and learning something that I really don’t want to know. Still, maybe it’s just a harmless joke; I just have no idea what this strip is about.”

I don’t really understand it, either, but I’m giving it an Arlo tag just because it’s McEldowney. The ones before and after this one are also themed The Thorax Clinic, but have a different patient.

Sunday Funnies – LOLs – September 6, 2026

Mitch4 sends this in: “Well, the caption “Goldilocks and the Three Musketeers” is explicitly given. But not printed out for us, left for us to figure out, is that their hair fits her established pattern of “Too much, too little, just right”.”

The Trolley Problem continues to give humor:

“Luckily, the A.I. trolley will decide who to kill all on its own.”

Boise Ed notes: “Okay, so the deer isn’t going to be doing the driving, but it still made me laugh.”
