More website ineptitude from GoComics. Make up your own ending. The complete caption (found same day in other places) is at the bottom of this post.


Mark H. and Boise Ed send in another Frazz as a double OY from December 26 (important to understanding the pun): “The first oy is subtle, and depends on your understanding of the English.”



Full caption from the Jim Benton Cartoon:
” I think I’ve fallen in love with you.
Unless that’s not cupid and I’ve just been
shot by a little naked guy.”
It’s an odd choice to have that cartoon appear on December 25, Christmas Day.

Speaking of Get Kraken, over in Freefall, Sam Starfall is discovering that a space station’s flavored mycoprotein vendor offers a selection of fantasy creatures on their menu, one of which is called “Get Kraken” — and it tastes just like he does!
I’m calling for a ten-year moratorium on “kraken” jokes. Between the “kraken” challenge to the 2020 elections and the formation of the Seattle Krakens, every possible joke has been made ad nauseum. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen “best get kraken” in the past five years.
I mean, stores already had Valentine’s Day stuff out before Christmas, so why not a cupid joke on Christmas?
re Frazz: the first pun is not subtle, it is tortured beyond the Geneva Conventions!
(It might help to have a German accent to pronounce “thing” as “sing”, but then if you have the German accent you would never pronounce “Bach” as “bock”…)
larK – It’s a shame that no one every wrote lyrics to the Brandenburg Concertos. Otherwise we would have Bach Sing Day carols (and a less tortured pun).

@zbicyclist That’s what I really love about the internet: there are more fun and interesting ways to waste time than I ever knew existed
“More website ineptitude from GoComics.”– Any ineptitude there can’t hold a candle to Comics Kingdom.
larK (4): Bach, humbug!
Chak (7): So true, so very true.
@Chak: There WERE fun and interesting ways to waste time. AI is rapidly replacing them with boring and uninteresting ways.
I don’t use CK much, and I’m just taking advantage of free use, but I don’t like it much at all. Their round of improvements were not at all to me.
I generally don’t have too much problem with GC, although as a Premium user it’s difficult to compare. I do see complaints from people about the ad system.
