Saturday Morning OYs – November 25th, 2023

Thanks to Mark H. for sending this, and calling for a Geezer Alert.

Oh, why not!

This one deserves to be flagged.

BONUS CIDU-OY!

Both from 11/26/2020, and submitted by Andréa. Post originally assembled by Winter Wallaby.

Kilby adds: The climate has been changing in recent years, as this Crabgrass strip shows:

And a 2023 addition that seems to hew to the original alignment. (Added by ==mitch)

Saturday Puns & Sunday Funnies – OYs & LOLs, November 12th, 2023

This gets extra tags — some kinda Meta for not using the standard joke set up in panel 1, and some kinda Geezer warning for those youngsters who don’t see something familiar behind “Killjoy was here”.

Maybe. My local newspaper (Chicago Tribune) has become an indistinct shadow of its former self, and the comics are shrunken and in black and white.

Despite the “(Not a CIDU)” category applied to this post as a whole, this item may take a bit of concentration and research before you can join in saying “Oh, I’ve got it completely decoded now!”.

There will be no arguing over whether this is truly a “meta” comic!

We think this is a rerun; but if so, then it falls into “an oldie but goodie”.

Here’s the funny-sad one promised in the category tags.

BTW, do they have a walkie-talkie set, or is that a quite old-school cell phone?

Veterans Day / Armistice Day add-ons

[Note from 2023 reposting] No comics added as of this reposting. Comments from 2021 and subsequently are preserved. If the note and link at the bottom are a bit confusing, they lead back to a separate posting which was a different version of the Veterans Day Add-ons idea, and is still available in the archive and by that link, but is not herewith being reposted.

[Note from 2021 original posting] Cartoons with Veterans relevance that we recently ran across, or that CIDU Bill had saved to the site’s media library with a note for possible Veterans Day add-on use.

This one Bill marked “Nov 11 Veterans Day addon”. It was posted in https://cidu.info/2020/11/11/one-more-for-veterans-day/

This one Bill marked “UDIC Frazz Veterans Day” . It was posted as https://cidu.info/2018/11/09/udic/

These two we noticed on sequential days in Maria’s Day. Since that strip is on a reruns cycle at GoComics, the actual dates of the recent appearance were 31 August and 01 September, but apparently the original publication was on 10 and 11 November of some year.

There are more good ones that readers added in various years as comments to the original “Arlo’s Veterans Day” post (reposted earlier this morning). But here are others which got posted in various one-off’s at various times.

A very retro Beetle Bailey with a foreshadowing of Vietnam:

Camp Swampy may not ever have been a fighting base, but as this shows, they were not entirely outside a world where military conflict was a reality. And we can count all who served as veterans, whether or not they were in active combat or even in a war zone.

This strip seems to be dated 1964, and early enough in that year that “Viet Nam” did not yet mean all of what it would soon take on. Still, isn’t it a bit shocking that this might strike some of its audience as simply funny?

Interesting reader comments can be found attached to the 2020 posting of this.

Sunday Funnies – LOLs, November 5th, 2023

This was a CIDU for me for a couple minutes. And I’m still not sure of the intended idea.

BTW, is a clock a standard part of Twister play?

Thanks to Maggie-the-Cartoonist for this Loose Parts LOL:

I don’t know whether this is supposed to be the joke / the point of the cartoon, but I think it’s definitely a brilliant choice to have the meeting for the road-ragers take place safely online!
