Sunday Funnies – LOLs, June 18th, 2023

Here are a few laughs from maggiethecartoonist, including a couple of Garfields:

Since the latest Windows 11 update, the face recognition to automatically sign me in to my PC has been hit-and-miss, and yes, it IS worrying me! (zbicyclist)

Basic Instructions went on a pause of new comics in 2015 and GoComics ran only reruns, for several years. Earlier this year (I think) he brought it back, after trying out a few new strips and making a few alterations to the style and framing. IMO the new run is going well! ==mitch

One aspect that changed was that he aged the appearance of several characters. This image below is one GoComics uses in the corner of their page for this comic. The guy on the left is of course Scott himself, and comparing the old version lets us note that the new version has gained the glasses, the graying beard, and something of a belly under that same black tee shirt. (The person on the right is a different character in the two cases.)

Scott Metzger revisits a comic he did ten years ago. We were going to save it for next week’s OY list, but then realized it should be squeezed in for Fathers’ Day.

Saturday Morning OYs – June 17th, 2023

Posted to Facebook group “Unappreciated Puns” by user Kerriann O’Sullivan with message “Happy Monday from the Southern Hemisphere “, so I was sort of expecting to have to work out a joke based on Australian accent or usage. But no, as it turns out; this seems to work out okay in General American.

An Argyle twofer!

And do notice where the diploma is from!

Just don’t cross the streams

From Irv:

If there’s some pop culture reference here, it’s beyond any of the editors. Mitch suggests “Release the Kraken” but that doesn’t seem close enough.

(Further editorial rumination: Releasing the tension is a common theme in meditation or massage, but here they seem to be trying to harvest it. To what end? Could they solidify it somehow and then be able to cut that tension with a knife? Why would they be doomed?)

Brilliant! 

The lion is the king of beasts,
And husband of the lioness.
Gazelles and things on which he feasts
Address him as your highoness.

–Ogden Nash Poems to Carnival of the Animals

Y’know how sometimes when Cornered has a Sunday duplex strip (or higher multiple!), and just one of them hits the funny bone just right? And then CIDU is stuck trying to clip or trim to get that one panel? But this time it’s a case of “Why not both?” Two LOLs for the price of one!

And if we’re still in the Weekend of Remembering nineties/oughties Songs, here is one suggested by that comic:
