Unless the first one was meant to be an “Ewww“, I think it would have worked better with a wall mounted drinking fountain, rather than that bottle-fed dispenser (which normally tend to dribble, rather than spray):
The quote in the man and fish panel comes from “Tea and Sympathy”. If you play the trailer on the IMDB page at the above link, the line comes at the very end, and oddly is shown as text in place of video of the actress saying it.
My take on the first was that the cone cups have holes in the tip and are leaking. I don’t think I’ve seen those in a long time. Most similar setups now have small dixie-cup type flat-bottom cups.
That dampness in number one didn’t come from a leaky cup. There is no dampness on his sport coat, just on his pants and apparently on the parts of his pants underneath the sport coat. Very sneaky on the part of the cartoonist.
@ AtMC (6) – In addition to that, there are no drips coming from the bottom of the cup. It’s pretty clear that the intended meaning was “what goes in must come out“, or as I feared @1: “Ewww!“

A good range of absurd (and funny) comics. If you’re still hungry don’t forget to look up B Kliban for his (non-cat) cartoons

The little piggy “going to market” actually means something else. Luckily this little piggy went to the wrong market and made it home alive.

Agree on the Ewww – my first thought when I saw the cartoon.
