When I saw this comic from Dan Collins, I was immediately reminded of Don Martin.
(I’ve blacked out a word in the comic, because Collins is making a political point, and we want to keep CIDU a politics-free zone.)
That’s different than Collins’ normal style, e.g.
It does provide an excuse to remember (fondly) the great Mad Magazine cartoonist Don Martin (1931-2000) whose cartoons were a regular delight in Mad from 1956 to 1988.

At this point (Thursday 8/27) we don’t know if future comics will show the son’s idea, or something else. Feel free to speculate.
Yes, a nap sounds good right about now.
This is also posted because the queue is pretty thin. If you see any likely CIDU candidates, send them in using the link on the left.
Jack Applin sends this in: “In the final panel, Maria implies an incongruence between Ms. Velvet’s name and her rocking the color green. I would understand if her name were “Scarlett” or “Violet”, because those colors are not green. However, what’s the conflict between velvet and green? Is the cloth velvet associated with a particular color? Some cultural thing that I’m missing?”
And, if Ms. Velvet had a daughter born in 2010, would the daughter be Ms. Velveteen?
From Dirk the Daring:
Try as I might (and try as the other commenters might), I just don’t get it. If it was Jehosaphat, then yeah, but Joseph is an, um, jump from that.
Thanks to Boise Ed:
Mom clearly doesn’t like the idea, but what “will” Dad do?
I disagree. And on a similar note:
They’re calling it Fawlty Towers and getting John Cleese to speak at the dedication.
