Usual John submitted this Sally Forth strip as an LOL for Mother’s Day:




And a little poetry:





Not really OYs, but timely:


A zombie allergic to brains, OK. How does “old married couple” figure in?

As a bonus, we’ll throw in what’s likely a momentary CIDU:

Boise Ed sends this in: “Is the bottom part unglassed? It appears that a metal hand is attached to the side of the meat pile. Perhaps “heroes” refers to sandwiches, but who makes them with ground beef?”

JMcAndrew sends a set of related cartoons:






The last two are obviously just different versions of the same joke from the same cartoonist, even if they’re 14 1/2 years apart. I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing or not.
These all remind me of an axiom I was taught long ago as a relationship test: Have lunch at your prospective partner’s house and ask for mayonnaise. If they present Miracle Whip–especially if they aren’t even apologetic about it–RUN.
Miracle Whip is to mayonnaise as carob is to chocolate. As someone else once wrote, “Carob is not an acceptable substitute for chocolate. It is not an acceptable substitute for anything except, perhaps, brown shoe polish.”
Dirk the Daring poses this question to us: “All I want to know is whether it was the dog that gave the warning or the wife that gave the warning.”


I looked it up, but I ended up with stuff like this. Is the joke just that the bear is wearing eye makeup?

Boise Ed sends this one in: “I once worked in a place like that.”







Once again, Scott Hilburn shows his mettle as a punster.

Backstory: Nate has decided that since he has a math test coming up and a book report due, he’ll take a shortcut and combine math study with the book report.
It’s May 2, the average day of the last frost here in lovely northern Illinois.
Pools and beaches aren’t open yet, but JMcAndrew sends in some Hi and Lois swimsuit comics to get us in the mood: “Here are several Hi and Lois comics about swimsuits, some of which are just very bizarre. It’s apparently been a theme since the very early days of the comic.”
