Aye, Matey!

40 Years Ago in The New Yorker
Time travel back to October, 1985.
This one’s definitely evergreen.
This one’s in CIDU territory. She’s giving a reasonable excuse. What’s the joke?
Tough decisions, indeed!
To get the full effect on this one, you have to imagine that Princeton shirt in the brightest orange imaginable.
Going to the Doge
Doge? My first thought was DOGE, Elon Musk’s Department Of Government Efficiency, and this seemed like a CIDU.
But, in that second panel, the picture is similar to the logo for Dogecoin, a memecoin (think Bitcoin, but more obscure). The short phrases in the third panel are a variation of the phrases around that Dogecoin logo. Hence, I’m labelling this a momentary CIDU.
Still, pretty obscure. CoinCodex notes: “As of 2025, Dogecoin has over 5.6 million unique wallet addresses holding DOGE, according to blockchain data. This number represents the total count of wallets, not necessarily individual people—since one person can own multiple wallets, and some wallets belong to exchanges or institutions.
Top holders dominate: The top 10 wallets alone control over 44% of the total Dogecoin supply, with Robinhood’s largest wallet holding nearly 19.45%”
It’s the 9th largest cryptocurrency, behind some others I haven’t heard of.
No one is coming to CIDU for investment advice. Personally, when I hear “crypto” I hear “tulips“, although friends remind me I’ve been wrong about that for many years now. If I’ve been wrong, I plan to continue being wrong.
And now it’s time for another fairy tale
Boise Ed sends:
and wonders, “I know Hagar often thrives on anachronistic stuff, but geez! Eddie having a modern pillow in camp is bad enough, but how would Hagar convince those two deer/elk/moose/reindeer to hold still for that, all night?”
I also have to ask what Rocky is doing down there on the bottom right–is one of those meese Bullwinkle?! In any case, where’s the joke?
Fourth Wall Comics
A collection of some fourth wall comics.
Mitch4 sends this one in: “The “fourth wall” aspect is that only we, seeing his shout spelled out, can really tell which homophone he is using, though the other character claims to know.”

Sunday Funnies – LOLs – October 19, 2025
Maybe we need a “Yeah, right!” tag.
Other nominees: big hats, bustles and anything else from the Gone With The Wind era.
Mitch4 sends this in: “Finally! An answer to centuries of studying the question of theodicy!”
I’m probably not the only one who had to look this term up:
As I write this, the Jets are 0-6.

It’s in my building’s dumpster now, but once this meant the world to someone.
Goose
Jack Applin sends this in: “She wants the goose cut that’s so popular with the kids these days?”
Deer Crossing
Dale sends this in: “I’m totally clueless on this one. Why human legs on a deer and what’s the point about running out in front? Is the light coming up from the car meaningful?”
On an unrelated note, there’s this famous slogan:
