No idea what it’s about.
Why are the wells slightly different colors? What is the significance?? And look who what is where???
And then look what came along a couple of days later!
Well then

I went wee, wee, wee when I saw this
I see Three Little Pigs and a Big Bad Wolf, and perhaps Mother Goose playing third, and Jack Sprat is up to bat (hey, a rhyme!)–but what does that have to do with baseball? Why are the cat, fiddle, dish, spoon, and cow in the dugout?? Who’s that at shortstop???
Mutht Be A Thimble Exthplanathion
(This editor feels entitled to use that hed, having dealt with a slight lisp for six or so decades)
From Chipster:
He notes that the discussion at GoComics suggests it’s the thimble from Monopoly in jail, and that while that sorta works, it’s not clear what the joke is or if that’s necessarily what Anderson had in mind.
Excuse ME. I don’t get it.
targuman sends (and provides the title above):
On the gocomics site, various folks suggest there’s a fart joke in there, but my inner five-year-old can’t make that work either.
Meanwhile, https://inflatableblast.com/inflatable-men-car-dealerships/ suggests that those waving inflatable things have a host of names:
- air dancers
- tube guys
- inflatable guys
- tall boys
- fly guys
- sky dancer
- tube men
- air rangers
Creepy by any name. Though I did see a desktop-sized one once that was kinda cute.

Note the quotes around ‘Mom’.
All we’ve come up with is some sort of Uber/Lyft reference, but?? Of course it IS The New Yorker [Magazine] (there’s a whole thing about whether it gets that last word or not).
Invsible Point
From Maggiethecartoonist:
Vampires don’t photograph, we get it. But then why would anyone create a yearbook full of…what?
That’s quite a new look
Thanks to Maggiethecartoonist for this Argyle Sweater:
Just don’t cross the streams
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?)
Whatoscopic?
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!
Unherd of
There’s some pun lurking about herd/heard there, but what???
