Comics I Don't Understand 
Yes, the head in a bottle is a visitor from Scary Gary.
@ Dana – Thanks for the explanation about the source; the only thing I was able to come up with was the Head Museum in “Futurama“.
Who’s that talking to Pinocchio and what’s he holding? He has no nose, but that thing is way too big to be one, except it’s about the same size as Pinocchio’s…
@larK: yeah, I have the same questions. Some sort of ED joke? /s
Voldemort, from Harry Potter. He’s holding the Elder Wand as depicted in the movie.
That would be Lord Voldemort, he, Who Should Not Be Named. Nemesis of the wizarding and muggle worlds and Harry Potter in particular. He, like all Evil Masterminds, does not require an introduction (at least don’t tell him you don’t know who he is, he might take umbrage at that). He ist wielding the elder wand, with which he hopes to defeat even his most elusive enemy (a schoolboy with ostensibly mediocre arcane powers, who nevertheless famously survived all his previous attempts at being killed).
Voldemort was, rather notoriously, portrayed without a nose in the movies. Mind you, he is described in the books as having mask like face with a flat nose with slits, but many viewers found the movie-makers overdid it a bit.
Here, Pinocchio suggests, maybe unsolicited, that Voldemort should tell some lies, so his nose will grow again. I cannot fathom that he, who should not be named would think twice about his appearance, but maybe his missing nose was really a secret shame of him, about which he can only talk with a character of a completely different work of fantasy.
P.S.: Interestingly, I don’t remember of the top of my head, whether Lord Voldemort regularly lied to everyone or if he subscribed to the villain code of always telling the truth (or rather, simply not telling the important bits) while spreading death and destruction.
Old one-liner: “He rolled his eyes at her, and she picked them up and tossed them back.”
If he has no nose, how does he smell?
Badly, of course.
@Markus: Dolores Umbrage? (I’ve never even read the books or seen the movies!)
I went to the Daily Cartoonist article and couldn’t make out the caption to the airborne car cartoon by Christopher Weyant. Anyone have better vision?
@Anonymous
While “umbrage” and “Umbridge” are close enough to qualify as a pun, I did not want to suggest Lord Voldermort taking one of the many people who, knowingly or unknowingly, facilitated his rise to power, but rather, that he would be offended and this usually does not go well for the offender.
The similarity was lucky serendipity and not intentional, and stemmed from consulting the dictionary once too often. (Damn, again using all those words, hopefully no more word-similarities, lest my comments be labeled as “Oy”.)
@ MiB – I thought I saw another “eye roll” comic recently, but I couldn’t find it. All I could turn up was this Argyle Sweater from 2019:
P.S. I don’t remember ever hearing it in English, but the “horse manure” joke in “Baby Blues” is a children’s classic in German, except that the garden plants are strawberries, and the replacement suggested by the kid is whipped cream.
Treesong, here is a clearer image. The caption reads “Anywhere down there would be great ”
I don’t get the camel… is “well! I’ll be a camel’s mother” a saying?
wait, the hump. never mind, I’m an idiot.
Related to green beans with butter and salt, or strawberries with cream:
“Everybody has some peculiarity about them; something odd, something unusual. For instance, do you stir your coffee with your left hand or your right hand?”
“My right hand.”
“See, that’s your peculiarity. Most people use a spoon.”
@ MiB – As the 40 year old waitress says in the ballad “Logger Lover”:
…I see that you are a logger,
And not just a common bum:
For nobody but a logger
Stirs his coffee with his thumb.
Thank you, Mitch!
