That’s another fine meta you’ve got us into!






For a comic strip not generally* done in “realistic style”, this shows a lot of detail to convincingly set the scene!
[*] Though they occasionally go hyper-realistic by using a photo panel!

Suggested by Dirk the Daring, who notes “Me thinks David Sipress has never left the city. The cow and pig in the background aren’t too bad, but up front we seem to have a cow with pig nose and maybe a pig with a cow tail. Or maybe not.
The gag itself is pretty good though.”



As a commenter at GoComics hints, that Mr. Wilson better not be Dennis Mitchell’s neighbor!

Yes, this was a Sunday strip.

Wait, is it that it becomes a punch line because she punches him? And they’re just at home in the kitchen where she’s cooking something?
Shucks, I thought it was going to turn out to be set at some social event where she was serving drinks from a punch bowl, and he was seen to be at the head of the punch line.
So if Sundays are a Thursday-humor-sophistication-level with a bigger size than normal, and this is meta self-referential, how low must the humor be on Mondays if Thursday-level contains a fart joke?
And what day of the week is blue binocular rabbit reading — they’re not Sunday’s because they’re b&w…?
The “blue binocular rabbit” is Eightball. The paper he’s reading is neither color nor B&W; every panel is blank.
I like both the telescope one and especially the “fine meta” line under it.
Thanks for the clarification on the Rabbits Against Magic, Ed. larK’s phrasing threw me off for a while — as you made clear, “binocular rabbit” just meant “the rabbit with two eyes” while I was fruitlessly looking for a rabbit using a two-sided distance viewing device.
Re: Andertoons – Back in junior high school I thought it was odd that they would assign the “health” classes (the euphamistic title for “sex-ed”) to the gym teachers (rather that biology), but it was probably just a question of logistics (rather than qualifications) since the gym classes were already segregated by gender.
In my school, Health class was more than that. In fact, the sex-ed part was a short part of it. And we had mixed classes.
I know I took health classes – but have no memory of them. As to them being part of gym class, I don’t think so – and I think I had a male gym teacher at least one year in high school. I volunteered in the gym office and I may just be remembering that wrong as I worked for them running the ditto machine and such. (I figured they couldn’t fail me if I volunteered for them – and I got out of having go to the lunch room for lunch.) And the gym teachers were also the driver’s ed teachers.
(I remember only one female gym teacher though I know there were more, but I remember at least 3 male gym teachers.
