Slow Jogging
Is this realistic? Something “fun” to look forward to in old age? I get that it would be harder to jog quickly, but why would it be even slower than walking?
Pet UR Dog
Is this in the 21st century?
This isn’t a CIDU, but: does this resonate with anyone? Or make sense for anyone you know in the 21st century? The idea that you’d need to keep it secret from your spouse that you spent some time with a member of the opposite gender seems really, really, really outdated.
I think my wife would be interested to find out that I met her doppelganger.
Also, a separate question for golfers: Do golf courses really just pair you up with random other golfers? Why? Or is this just a plot device?
Sexism and Beverages
D. B. Cooper
From BillR, who comments “Ok, I know who D.B. Cooper was, but the rest of it is beyond me.” Yep, me too.
For those who don’t know who D. B. Cooper is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper
I find the hovertext even more confusing than the cartoon itself: “The only other person to walk by was a linguist back in the ‘80s, but she just spent a while directing the phrase ‘help me down’ before getting distracted by a squirrel and wandering off.”
(Edit: the hovertext actually says “dissecting,” not “directing.” So that’s much less confusing.)
Zoom, zoom, zoom!
Sure, Dagwood likes doughnuts. But what’s he zooming around for if there’s no doughnut cart? From Phil Smith III and larK.
Pay up?
I get that the babysitter shouldn’t be sleeping on the job. But “pay up”?
Infuriating Game I Don’t Understand
Why is she giving it five stars if she doesn’t like it? I get that humor often (usually? always?) comes from the contrast between what you would expect to happen and what’s actually happening, but I don’t understand what’s happening here.
Fascin’ Police
From Jack Applin who says “I accept that fashion and fascin’ are homophones, but I don’t know what fascin’ is.”
A friendly reminder to avoid political arguments; we’re just trying to understand the comic.
