We start off with a twofer on the same pun idea:
That’s sticking it to them! (or not)

We picked up this Wiley Miller one from the Why Evolution Is True website where it was sent in by a reader.



This Rubes from Andréa makes a deprecated usage exactly right for once!






Birthday note!
Today is the 200th for César Franck.
Here is a performance of his Violin Sonata in A:
Bill posted the panel version of Wiley’s “squid” three years ago (which may not have been its first CIDU appearance). It was published as a strip on 24-Jul-2004:
P.S. Wiley also did a different “quid” joke three years earlier than that:
It’s a bit eerie seeing this kind of pandemic performance – the recital or concert taking place, but with an empty hall. With an orchestra at least they can applaud each other!
Two more that appeared this morning . . .

Thanks for those, Andréa. Good ones!
Thanks for the Sonata — I needed that today! Happy birthday, César Franck. (Great comics, too!)
I’ll add my thanks for the Sonata. Franck is one of my favorite composers. I was never fortunate enough to play the Sonata with a violinist, but I performed the Prelude, Aria et Finale for solo piano at my graduation recital, many years ago.
The Shoe strip called to mind an old TV commercial in which a woman responded to a compliment on her pie crust by singing “The secret is my lard”. The battle was between real lard (rendered pig fat) and substitutes based on vegetable oil.
I like to make pies and I always use lard for my crusts. To me, a lard crust tastes like a real pie crust. If you use something else instead of lard, you don’t get that pie crust taste.
As for those who use store-bought ready crusts, check the ingredients. Lard. They may be store-bought but they are very close to being proper pie crusts.
They keep coming. :
That was from today’s Brevity. I tried to include a link, but it disappeared.
