Vampires don’t photograph, we get it. But then why would anyone create a yearbook full of…what?

From Irv:

If there’s some pop culture reference here, it’s beyond any of the editors. Mitch suggests “Release the Kraken” but that doesn’t seem close enough.
(Further editorial rumination: Releasing the tension is a common theme in meditation or massage, but here they seem to be trying to harvest it. To what end? Could they solidify it somehow and then be able to cut that tension with a knife? Why would they be doomed?)
Darren sent:

which sparked a lively discussion about arthroscopic vs. laparoscopic vs. the generic “minimally invasive” surgery.
Meanwhile, it also proved to be a mystery for some!

There’s some pun lurking about herd/heard there, but what???
Chemgal submitted:

There’s actually an explanation for this, left as an exercise for the community (but to also be revealed in comments, eventually).
…I just don’t get the point. There’s a Baldo backstory about his mother, yeah, but what’s really going on here?

Tim H. sends:

…and asks, “Why is it more annoying?“
I’m with ya.
Brian in STL sent this, commenting:
There is dispute in comments as to whether the Wiz is angry because his wife corrected him and he is going to “zap” her or whether he’s mad because he hates geese and is going to do something about that. People having personal experience with geese (including me) tend towards the latter.

Anyone who has had Canada Geese (not “Canadian” Geese!) in their neighborhood can well imagine it’s the birds he’s mad at, but it sure seems unclear.

Spotted in Randy Cassingham’s This Is True (née This Just In, changed many years ago after SNL’s lawyers got on his case):
So Long to cartoonist Chris Browne, who took over the “Hägar the Horrible” strip from its creator, his father Dik, when Dik died in 1989. Chris wrote and drew the comic until he died, on February 5, at 70.
Some may recall that Dik Browne also created Hi and Lois, which I’d forgotten (if I ever knew).
Some nice coverage (and no, I don’t know why only the one got a preview–it did even when it wasn’t first):
