Thanks to Steve S. This is paradigmatic LOL+Ewww!




In the U.S., the deadline for filing income tax is rapidly approaching.


Yes, this was another of those blasted .avif’s!


Even worse than the cartoon-biology here, if you ask me, is the crazy personal dynamic.




Thanks to Mark M for suggesting this Far Side. Can we answer his question about what dialogue or caption or drawn element could go where the bystander’s hand is blocking it out, to make this one of the funniest cartoons ever.

Now that Word Press has adjusted to occasional WEBP format images (and most of our browsers), we face a new challenge: AVIF files. Just in case it doesn’t show properly, I will follow it with a PNG conversion. But here’s hoping the AVIF will work in its given form and in future we needn’t bother producing conversions.


It’s the Final Four in college basketball, and the start of baseball season, so get ready for vicarious excitement!

But is there a Conservation of Vicarious Excitement?


Fact checking: Recent historical opinion tends to exculpate the bovine in question!


And as a gesture of public service, here is a corrected image for those who encountered it horizontal:

Enter nominees for sadder words in the comments (no politics or religion, please)




Since we have a Skink among our regulars, here’s a Far Side on that species subject:

Saturday Morning OYs – March 25th, 2023



Almost a pun failure, as it is arguable the joke of her equivocation is already well-cemented in panel 3 and then the clues in panel 4 are just a waste. But probably it is also arguable that many a reader would miss the gag in panel 3 and there is a definite need for panel 4 …


And this dampens my hope of someday understanding what “fugue state” is or is not related to.





Yes, it’s the same David Mamet better known as a playwright.

Wearing (out) of the green

A general note of remembrance for the holiday of green beer and green Chicago River.

The first two are holdovers from last week, when we had other things a-posting and didn’t remark Saint Padraic’s Day on CIDU main feed. A few helpful readers posted St Patrick’s Day jokes to the thread for that day, thank you for renewing the principle of thread drift!

This one was sent in by BillR, looking for what the gag is. It provoked a good discussion behind the scenes of CIDU, where we soon enough agreed on the intended gag but remained divided on whether some terminology was being misapplied!

(For the tag-watchers [or actually, category], yes this post is marked both CIDU and not-a-CIDU. Those just apply to different cartoons, that’s all.)

Getting triple duty from one little affix!


Since this is announced as dealing with puns, how could we pass it up?



Interesting – the cartoonist doesn’t actually show us the missing word, which must combine raccoon and centaur.

A case of breaking the third wall?


Maybe this is a bit of a CIDU — I understand how her laptop might need an OS update, or even her nails, but what’s up with the metaphors?



“Pin code”



How many of these would you call arguable?
