This “Dog Eat Doug” was submitted by Usual John as an LOL, but this feature hasn’t been seen at CIDU since August 2020 (a pair submitted by Andréa and posted by Bill), so I’m adding a CIHS tag.

John added, “While this is mainly a LOL, I am unclear on why the messenger thought the blue jay general, or whoever he thought he was reporting to, would be in a baby carriage.“
Boise Ed submitted this Rhymes with Orange as a CIDU, asking “It’s the old Adam-and-Eve scene, but why is his leaf attracting flies or other bugs and what’s with the days of the week?” – I think the answer is obvious enough to reclassify this as an LOL-Ewww:
…
P.S. The “days of the week” are of course a reference to a type of underwear that I have often heard about, but never actually seen. I thought they were usually intended for girls, but when I hunted for a screenshot, I discovered that they were also available for boys, and even came in men’s sizes:
…
In order, the names of the ghosts would be Blolga (red), Polga (pink), Olga (cyan), and Clyde (orange). Since Olga is always that color, maybe he has more reason to fear than the other three.
Bob Ball send in this as a LOL / synchronicity. We don’t publish synchronicities much anymore, but this is worthy of LOL. This is part of a thread on Pearls, where Pastis makes fun of oversensitivity towards certain terms by labelling junk drawer as an insult. But while I understand the term junk drawer, mine is a miscellany drawer; there are things in there that occasionally get used (e.g. double-sided tape). What do you call yours?
The start of that Pearls storyline:
Chak sends in this gem:
Comics I Don't Understand 
Adam and Eve -Adam needs to learn to change his fig leaf and not wear the same one every day.
Dog eat Doug – There is nothing that indicates the bird thought he was talking to a blue jay general. Apparently whatever general he wanted to address is in the park in a carriage.
Olga is dreaming. The face on the ghosts mean they are now safe for pacman to eat and he thinks he looks close enough to being a ghost that he can be eaten. It is a dream. Rarely do dreams get all details right, so the color being a bit off is just part of the dream.
I thought the “days of the week” underwear trope was more for (disgusting, slovenly) boys who suck at doing laundry and need obvious reminders to put on (hopefully clean) clothes…?
Comment I Don’t Understand: The ghosts in Pac-Man have names and none of them are Blogla or Polga. Why “would they” be different than their actual names?

If “junk” references callipygian posteriors then it’s arguably complimentary, not derogatory…?
I didn’t get at first that the Days underwear was for him, although it makes sense.
The equivalent drawer at the house didn’t really have junk, just little-used items such as candles and matches or the temperature probe for the temp/timer. It also as the rolls of aluminum foil and such.
The corresponding drawer at the Fancy New Apartment has the manuals for the new kitchen scale and temp/timer, but does not currently have the probe. It’s significantly larger than its suburban counterpart so it is both a challenge and an opportunity to use it wisely. It is possible that I will ultimately swap function with the same-sized drawer on the other side of the stove, which is now holding a loose assortment of utensils and cutlery.
Junk drawer? Singular? On good days it’s called the garage and there’s not just one those suckers.
Junk drawer? We call it the house. :-)
