April 28, 2019 by CIDU Bill Last week Sunday called, it wants its daily cartoon back (Not a Cidu), Bill Bickel, Easter comics, Danny Shanahan, humor, The New Yorker 10 Comments Maybe this an Eastern Orthodox Peep. Related
This may be the first New Yorker comic I actually laughed out loud at. Oh, wait, it’s the New Yorker, so I should have said, “,..at which I laughed out loud”. LikeLike
“Maybe this an Eastern Orthodox Peep” No, the Peep is definitely not acting in an Orthodox manner. LikeLike
There was an article in the Washington Post by Maura Judkis on Easter Sunday: “Like fine wine and good steak, aging Peeps is an art. But how stale is just right?” P.S. I can’t test the link from here, but I thought the title was worth mentioning, especially because of the delay. LikeLike
“Is it a pun or something?” Or something. “Peeps” sounds a little like “Apes”. So it’s something. This is The New Yorker so demanding a tight pun is pedestrian. LikeLike
Fun Fact: I had no idea what Peeps were back in Year One of CIDU: they were referenced in a Doctor Fun panel. LikeLike
