Labor-day-published gallery

These are just whatever was at least pretty good, was dated today, and was in some way about the Labor Day holiday or tradition. … A quick survey of which cartoons were willing to be about the holiday and which preferred to go on their own way.

Saturday Morning OYs – September 2nd, 2023

And another one for official Frankenstein Day:

And one directly addressing the occasion:

This from Chemgal, spotting an OY not in the comic overall but in a particular panel.

That’s right, it’s in what Chemgal calls “the third last panel”. I was going to have a fine old time on how different people, not to mention different nations, have different ways of counting from the back of a series, so the only safe way to label a “third from the end” or “second one from the last” or “position negative 3” is to adopt the technical-looking but easy-enough and safely unambiguous ANTEPENULTIMATE.

Oh but then! — but then I took a closer look, and I think the drawing is misleading, and actually the last panel includes both Adam’s speech balloon “Seriously .. all that?” as well as Katy’s and Clayton’s jibes. So the one with the cute shark tray pun is “second last” … or do you say “next to last”? Or “second back from the end”? Or “first before the last one”? Let’s go with PENULTIMATE!

Sunday Funnies – LOLs, August 27th, 2023

Uh-oh! “Arlo” warning for younger and more sensitive viewers.

As many here will already know, these Nick G “comics” originate as illustrations accompanying the Washington Post advice column conducted by Carolyn Hax. The connection is sometimes close, and often sort of tangential. The column is behind a paywall, but for those interested here is a free “gift article link” to the August 23 column.

Saturday Morning OYs – August 26th, 2023

It bothers me (mitch) a little bit that this seems to depend on fission being more dramatically explosive than fusion. But still it’s wordplay and it’s pretty funny…

Parisi himself made the following comments:

“The coffin is ajar”

“Now he’ll be berried”

As for me, I’d like to toast the deceased.

Random Comments, August 2023 Edition

Same as the previous series of Random Comments threads (which have each been closed to further commenting because they’ve gotten too long), this will be accessible from a link in the left sidebar (under “triple-line” icon 1st tab).

Please remember that this is intended for public comics-related (or comics semi-related) comments only: if you want to send the editors a CIDU, or a comic for some specific folder (LOL, Oy, etc), or you want to inform us of a typo, please e-mail us at 4imageonline-co-textimage, or use the Contact Form or the Suggest-A-CIDU Form.

“Comics-semi-related” may in practice include your observations on life and language… But not politics, puh-leese!

However, starting in October 2020, we have been using a second, parallel open comments thread, for a specific area of topics: ideas for how to maintain or develop this site.   Look for the link in the left sidebar (under “triple-line” icon 1st tab).  The head post for the current Site Comments thread is HERE. 

Also: A list of the site’s most recent comments can be found in the left sidebar (under “folder” icon 2nd tab). A database of all the comments, compiled by larK, is here.

And the site’s FAQ is here.
