SnSn?!

Findus shares

And notes: So the customer looks nothing like the models but is still pleased with the make-up. So what? Or is she buying a distorting mirror? Should I recognise the customer or the person the make-up is evoking?

What is she* taking? And why did a commenter on GoComics make a reference to TinTin? (OK, we have a theory on that one, but is it related to the comic?)

*Based on necklace and shoes; not intended as sexism, though I suppose even making an assumption based on necklace and shoes could be considered sexist. Sue me, I’m 62.

Needs Samoa Context

Boise Ed sends the above, noting, “It’s not that IDU what’s happening, but why is it funny that the guy has stiffed the Girl Scout?”

I’d also add that there seems to be a video camera in the background, AND the woman in pink is driving something that looks more like a courtroom typewriter than a laptop–is this a recycled strip? Yet neither Tineye nor Google Images finds it, so maybe not. Perhaps Hoest and Reiner are stuck in the past?

Probably just cartoon physics

It doesn’t seem like that axe would fit in that crate, does it? The stump and basket, maybe–though after UPS rolls it around the back of the truck several times, I doubt the basket would be in that good condition.

ObAnecdote: I have nothing against UPS, but I worked with a woman who hated them with a passion, and with justification: they lost her bridesmaids’ dresses. All of them. Forever. Never reappeared. I’d hear her in the next cubicle calling a company and trying to find some OTHER way of shipping their item, and cancelling the order if they had no choices except UPS. Still makes me laugh.

P.S. Yes, this post is late. Y’all are all entitled to a full refund of your CIDU membership fees.

Liō-ing in Jeremy’s bed?

This appeared last Sunday, and while neither Mitch nor I got it at first glance, maybe I do after staring at it a bit more. But it’s still opaque enough to make me want to hear what others think of it.

Tatulli also gets points IMHO for doing a decent job of copying Jim Borgman’s style! It’s always fun when you see one cartoonist do that with another’s characters.
