It is nice when people follow your reading recommendations, but surely more than that is needed for a joke?

Both from Andréa.
A Halloween left-behind LOL.
If only!
In case you didn’t know, the “Nick and Zuzu” comic panels run as accompaniment to an advice column by Carolyn Hax. Sometimes they really depend on the writing and are totally CIDU without it. Other times, the comic is quite independent of the column which sparked it; and that is the case here. And the cartoons appear elsewhere, where the column is not available or even mentioned, such as GoComics.
But in case you are interested: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/advice/carolyn-hax-how-to-tell-dad-that-you-want-to-dispense-with-the-unpleasantries/2020/11/05/f85f3d90-1578-11eb-bc10-40b25382f1be_story.html
I’ve done this
I (Winter Wallaby) have returned books shortly after checking them out (pre-pandemic, when I could read in the library, and either finish a short book, or read enough to realize that I didn’t like it, or that it was too difficult for me). It was not, as far as I know, a funny situation. And I didn’t have bubbles floating around my head.

Halloween fireworks?
Does anyone set off fireworks or shoot guns on Halloween?
From Andréa.
Years from now when you talk about this – and you will – be kind.
Danny Boy: “Well how many readers besides the old gaffers will recognize in this a reference to the movie ‘Tea and Sympathy’? And why try to use that allusion when the situation in the comic is nothing at all like the movie?”
Price of a small coke
The anonymous submitter asks: “Although virtually all of the movie theaters have been shut down because of Covid-19, I would be interested to know what a “small coke” currently costs in an American theater (or, for that matter, in any fast food restaurant). I’m betting that Breathed’s presumably wildly inflated $6 (in 1986) won’t sound all that inflated now.”
Post-wood? Happy trails?
Stan: “Wood you explain this, please. I get the idea, sort of, but when has this ever occurred? It seems like a pretty wild stretch just to make a ‘joke’ work. Am I missing a reference to something? Also, if it’s a ‘post-wood’ era, then what is the podium behind him made of? It looks like wood to me.”
And a CIDU-Eww from Ignatz.
Saturday Morning Oy – October 24th
Sent in by Andréa. This is an Oy, but also a CIDU: why so many coats?
Also from Andréa.
From Olivier.
We don’t see “Shoe” all that often around here. But this seemed like a sweet OY, and ‘just what we deserve’.
