And Boise Ed provides another One Big Happy:
And Jack Applin suggests this Phoebe and her Unicorn:
(This is apparently the first appearance of this strip in a CIDU post; so far it has only been mentioned a few times in comments.)
Jack further comments, “I was astonished to learn that, according to Wikipedia, all of the *core really exist:“

Comics I Don't Understand 
Here’s another OY that I first saw at The Daily Cartoonist:
Besides the OYs in this Argyle Sweater, we have some “cross-comics byplay” (is that a subcategory of META?) in Scott Hilburn more than tangentially referencing Pastis and Pearls Before Swine. And perhaps more subtly, there is an OY-ARLO factor, in the half-disguised way a disfavored casual anatomical term is involved in producing the key term in the last panel.
I did not know I had a *core named after me. My life is complete.
Here’s a Like for the Rae cartoon, the McMuffin MacGuffin!
I was certainly aware of cottagecore. There are many videos on YouTube reflecting that.
I used to like mumblecore but its queen went on to bigger things.
Downpuppy, when local promoter types post things like “Name your favorite movie filmed here in Chicago ” and collect answers like one of the Spiderman sequels or the like, you can count on me to jump in witn “Hannah Takes the Stairs”!
About a million years ago I was living in Hyde Park and we went to see a silly musical at Water Tower Place. Afterward, we realized that we’d parked at the spot where the Bluesmobile broke down. So I have to go with that one.
Well of course that’s a good choice; but I brought up “Hannah Takes the Stairs” in light of your previous comment about the queen of mumblecore having moved on to greater things — which I figured was about Greta Gerwig.
Indeed it was. After the ending of Little Women, & the strange Barbie universes, will she be the director who can untangle the Winkerbean/Crankshaft timelines?
Hmm. The McMuffin MacGuffin is not 100% NOT the driving force of “Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). The difference being that the sandwich is from a specific bodega in New York, rather than being mass-produced from McDonald’s, which makes more sense.
Little Women – my favorite book – also the movies I never watch. Not even the one with my favorite actress – Katherine Hepburn.
Whenever Robert sees a movie of a book he liked (including just about all James Bond movies) he complains on end about how it was not the book, how disappointing it was, etc. I learned never to watch a movie of any book I liked as I will hate the movie as it will NOT match the book,
