Mitch4 sends this in as an OY, but it has some CIDU elements.

Perhaps Mitch4 could specify what the “CIDU elements” are? It’s hard to know what to explain; it all seems straightforward to me, except perhaps the identity of the “fan”.
Powers, that second part was the remark of editor ZBicyclist; I had submitted it as an OY simply, agreeing with you. Perhaps we are more familiar with the strip, but he was puzzled by background narrative elements.
At first I was CIDUed on the Potato Heads one, as I thought the “cling kang klong” sounds were the joke, and didn’t get it. They I saw what their weapons were.
As far as Rae the Doe, I don’t think you need to read the strip (I don’t). It’s just a pun on using a fan of the strip versus an air-moving device to cool her at night.
Yes, it’s a “single lexical ambiguity” pun, just as was the “I’m just looking to get a couple good waves” from Mutts I think, which also recently appeared.

Yes, that “CIDU elements” was me. I don’t read this strip, and went off on a “happy as a clam” tangent.

The dueling heads strip certainly has appeal. I especially liked the way the artist pared the potatoes.
