Saturday Morning OYs – October 26th, 2024

Mark H. submitted this Frazz as an OY, admitting that it “Took me a minute…” (to get the joke). However, since at least one Editor still doesn’t understand it, a CIDU has been added to the tags. Perhaps Mark would be so kind…?

This Carpe Diem panel was submitted back in July by James Riendeau, who wrote, “Carpe Diem tends to be one I frequently do not get, but today’s was a real head-scratcher. It must be a cultural reference I’m not familiar with.”

Niklas Eriksson is Swedish; those “P”-Jackets might actually be worn there, but I sort of doubt it.

…
Solution: The “P” stands for “parking”; the guy is a meter reader, and he’s writing a ticket for the “parked” whale.

…
P.S. Claes Oldenberg was the only real mystery, the rest of them were fairly clear.

Early voting has started. The US election will soon be over … maybe.

Some of you likely came across this a few days ago, when Danny Boy in the comments, but it’s worth another chuckle.

This cartoon circulating around the internet probably qualifies as a CIDU, but the joke depends on a wordplay, so I’m posting it here.

I searched for the original source, but couldn’t find it in the many, many times it has been posted on the internet before I saw it this week.

Sunday Funnies – LOLs, October 20th, 2024

Boise Ed submitted this Cornered panel, commenting: “What a great put-down!“

…
P.S. A German flasher would hope she says: “That’s gross!“
P.P.S. To which he would then reply: “Dankeschön!“

F.Y.I.: Is everyone is already prepared for the upcoming holiday(s)?

How to tell a fruit from a vegetable:

…
Your attitude towards caramelizing may depend on whether you’re the one who does the dishes. Similarly with dishes such as tahdig, “a beautiful, pan-fried Persian rice that is fluffy and buttery on the inside with a perfectly golden crust, which is the layer at the bottom of the pot.” — if you make it right. The first few times might not produce “a perfectly golden crust”.

And we couldn’t leave without a couple of nods to autumn.

The character in the leaf pile is Wallace’s mom:

This one’s from 1962, when leaf burning was still a tradition:

Yes, when you say “things can’t get any worse”, it only shows your failure of imagination.

Part of the reason for posting this is that if you subscribe to GoComics, the Sunday lagniappe panel is not included. I don’t understand the reason for this. It’s there in what the syndicate gets. I’m a paying customer. Jef posts it on Facebook, so he clearly wants it out there. Why not show it to me?

Haven’t we always suspected this?

Yes, yes! One of these guys sold me a “This is not a shirt” tee shirt.

…

Unless it was one of these guys! Number five looks very sus!

Boise Ed sent this one in, noting “The robotic lawn mower is just doing what it is supposed to do, right?”

Your editor, drawing from unfortunate personal experiences, sees allusions to the problems caused when one dog is on leash, but another dog is not, or maybe just barking dogs in general. So we’re marking this CIAU (Comic I almost understand)
