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.
For those artists whose work deals primarily in mixed messages, this place seems ideal:
Boise Ed sends in this one:
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:
Now from the diseased mind of Stephen Pastis:
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”
And so it begins: this is the first Charlie Brown missing the football gag from Peanuts. Here it’s not Lucy, but Violet, November 14, 1951.
The first one with Lucy is a year later, November 16, 1952.
This one gets a geezer tag. The Heidi game was in 1968, 56 years before Jimmy Johnson drew this comic!
Back to back in my GoComics feed:
Danny Boy – London Derriere sends this one in. You’ll enjoy them, OFC.
I love the phrase “house camping”. It’s a good description of trying to work around a serious remodeling project.
In that column on the left, there is a Suggest-a-CIDU form. If you see something that particularly puzzles you, let us help by sending it in.
