Stan says he has no idea about this one from the latest New Yorker:
Hey, don’t you like how the tabletop-speakerphone shape is echoed by the trees out the window?
Oh they heard you alright

Bonus Panel:
Bonus (or is it Bogus?) quasi synchronicity
When a strip still has new material daily, but there is also a “classic” or “legacy” or “retro” version, and the current feed of the new ones does a story with memory or nostalgia, is it reasonable they would actually coordinate content?

His name is Clam? And his daughter calls him that?
This is almost an LOL, as a redirected story.

Saturday Morning OYs – August 27th, 2022
A bit o’ Arlo-OY here:
Very simple OY, classic in its elegance!
You’d need to be a big fan of the Oys to enjoy the preceding run of Diamond Lil, where each order she places at the bar is filled in a way involving a visual pun. So starting here you can picture a frosty mug, a tallboy, a brewski (IDU that one), a draft, a schooner, and a growler.

Do you get the point?
This CIDU is easier to figure out if you’re a cat owner. It provides an excuse to note that Comics Kingdom started Bob Mankoff Presents: Show Me the Funny (Animal Edition), which may be of interest. Since stepping down as cartoon editor at the New Yorker, he’s been running CartoonStock, which is a business that licenses cartoons.
