Sunday Funnies, LOLs – March 16, 2025

Targuman sends this in, along with a bit of Johnny Cash trivia:

Johnny Cash once started a forest fire that killed 49 of 53 remaining California condors in a preserve. 

” in 1965 that Johnny Cash ignited a wildfire in the Los Padres National Forest that drove off 49 of the area’s 53 endangered California condors. In those days, the gravelly-voiced singer had fallen so deep into amphetamine use that the people around him feared for his life.”

I’ve been to cheesy funerals, but …

I had to Google it and apparently Tenafly is a small borough in New Jersey. Is this a cartoon specifically for the 15,000 or so people who live there?

Well, yeah–or that’s all they can get for their “International” film festival!

Boise Ed sends this in: “I wouldn’t have expected this in Blondie, but this is so true!”

billr sends this in, with some CIDU aspects: “Looks like maybe a can of insecticide in Death’s hand? Or maybe the guy in the background is an impending client? Dunno.”

Phil writes: “Make sure to work “scythe sale” into the post, preferably several times!” Yes, that’s a tongue twister!

Bliss is heavy on the Grim Reaper theme lately. An improvement on the talking pet cartoons, IMO. And that sale scythe he got at the scythe sale is pretty good looking for a sale scythe purchased at a scythe sale. I wonder if I can still get a sale scythe at the scythe sale? Let me know in the comments if there’s still a scythe sale. [Happy, Phil?]

Not confusing enough to be a CIDU, but a couple of questions. There’s the English expression “Too many cooks spoil the broth”, which makes sense because you can mess up a broth or soup by messing up the seasoning (Italian herbs make a good soup; Indian spicing makes a good soup; adding both does not make a good soup). But toast?

Second, there’s 23. That’s probably just a random number pick here, but even the most casual fan recognizes 23 as Michael Jordan’s and LeBron James’s number: undeniably two of the greatest basketball players ever.

FYI: PM is short for Project Manager.

On dating shows, the contestants are hoping. Here they are also hopping.

Background: Amazon, controlled by bald billionaire Jeff Bezos, now owns the Bond movie franchise.

This reminds me of this video from Dr. Glaucomflecken:

[Yes, he is actually a doctor licensed in the US, and has some serious YouTube videos related to his specialty (ophthalmology), but he has a bigger audience for his comedy.]

Saturday Morning OYs – March 1, 2025

Boise Ed submits this one: “I get the Area 51 gag, but the name panel’s secondary gag (“All tea served with a saucer”) eludes me.”

It seems to pair nicely with panel one here:

JMcAndrew sends this in: “I spent more time than I care to admit contemplating how the mechanics of this relationship would possibly work and how a sandwich would be the end result.”

Well, just look at Mr Peanut. You can see he’s well bread!

Chemgal sent this in as an OY, but we’d already posted it as a LOL. They’re probably right, but it was already here. :)

This reminds me of those ads for PCs in the 1980s, when the first CGA monitors became practical. The ads would proudly show a pie chart, illustrating that the monitor would display colors and could draw a nearly perfect circle. The humor of those ads for me is (1) how many users would ever make a pie chart, and (2) pie charts are seldom the best way to show data.
