OK, let’s hear the pros and cons for whether it’s better with put the garbage out or would be improved with put out the garbage.

A sausage party?

A clever LOL-OY-CIDU from Keith Knight.

The CIDU aspect is not anything deeply puzzling, but let’s just ask how long it took you to see how the bananas got into the discourse.
(not a CIDU) Today we’ll try something different. In the comments, describe a particularly memorable fortune you received, and a bit of any backstory
— OR —
A fortune that would be particularly appropriate for a particular person / group. Give both the person and the fortune. BUT – NO PRESIDENTS OR EX-PRESIDENTS!
I’ll start: I was at my birthday dinner with my wife and two teenaged daughters. The fortune: “All is not yet lost”, which teenagers found hilarious when applied to their aging father. The phrase still turns up: “Remember, Dad, All is not YET lost”.


So in this world, all and everything has wavy lines for edges and surfaces? But this hero inventor has another idea ….
Is such a world even possible?
Could there be a world in which, whenever you put two things down, then another two, there always naturally turned out to be five of them there?

Is there any place around there that actually looks like this? Are the houses crawling up or down the dune?
No, really, who is the Santa, and who are the critters? And what are they taking turns at?
(And is this one of those “It would be perfectly clear to you if you just had the first clue about popular culture” cases?)

Yes, this appeared on Christmas Sunday. Yes, I know there is a performer named Mariah Carey. Is this what she looks like?
Shared by a CIDU reader:

More of an OY than a LOL perhaps, but who is counting?

Wrong Hands labels this with “redux” so we are not abashed about rerunning it here.


Andréa sends in these. Good to see the Ministry of Silly Walks getting into the holiday spirit.



A perpetual favorite mixup:

… and what did we just say?

More Bizarro.

Here’s one for the “not a classic pun, but generalized language play” … also it’s time to acknowledge the “dad jokes” category in pop culture.

Dirk the Daring sends in this one. The basic joke is just that Hagar messes up. But the details? Did he try to eat it? Did he impale himself on it? Did it get stuck in his beard? (but an internet search on “images violinists with beards” returns a lot of violinists with far longer beards). What’s the situation in that last panel?
And, if you dare, how would you stage that last panel?
