Sunday Funnies, LOLs – March 9, 2025

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.

Dan Sachs sends this in as a partial CIDU, wondering “Is that an asterisk? Where is the footnote?”

So, another upgrade on the GoComics website. It’s a bit mean to post this as an LOL, but it seems like every time GoComics “upgrades” there are problems. I remember after one “upgrade” Comic Sherpa (a showcase for new comic authors) was promised to return “soon”, but never did and was eventually abandoned. In recent weeks, some Barney and Clyde comics have been missing dialogue, even though they show up fine on Arcamax. But we can hope this “upgrade” will be less glitchy.

That email to subscribers mentions that the cost will be going up to $35/yr, although they are holding the price for 1 year for existing subscribers at $20.

UPDATE: As if on cue, GoComics does it again today (Feb 16):

At the same time, Arcamax has the entire comic:

Happy Valentine’s Day

Danny Boy sends this in.

JMcAndrew sends these two in. “Not only does this comic end with a rabbit about to hook up with a shoe but it also manages to slip in a joke about the title character from the movie “Babe”in a relationship with “Oscar Mayer””

“There’s also this one suggesting a relationship between Madonna and Sandra Bernhard and OJ Simpson with Lorena Bobbitt”
