This isn’t really a CIDU. Given this comic’s schtick, I assume the joke is that he’s attacking Loretta because she’s taken something classy (classical music), and made it dumb and low class by playing it on the bongos. But as I commented to SingaporeBill when he sent this in, it just seems like a really strange and difficult-to-understand attack, because playing on the bongos and making it sound like “Flight of the Bumblebee” would actually be pretty impressive. And then he sent this in:
From Singapore Bill, who asks “If it is solar powered, why is it walking around at night? And why is it in the dark and glowing? Seems kind of the opposite. And how does that make it like Maria?”
Hovertext: “It’s definitely not the time to try drinking beer before liquor.”
Clearly there’s some sort of reference to “leaves of three; let it be” for poison ivy, but it’s still a CIDU for me.
I suggest that it’s more fun if we avoid peeking at explainxkcd until the discussion here has run its course.
From RR.
Is there some sort of pun or cleverness associated with thinking of fixing a car like a medical operation? Or is the humor in that a woman might change a tire, rather than a man?

From Stan: “Have humans evolved into lizards? Is this a suggestion that Godzilla wrecked the Colosseum? It was an earthquake that led to the destruction, so what do their “ancestors” have to do with this?”
From Philip, who asks “Are they going to tickle her? Why?”
P.S. For anyone who may have difficulty reading upside down, here is the “solution” text flipped up:
Am I missing something, or did he just rule out suspect #1 because women aren’t strong enough to murder? Not sure if this is a CIDU (because I’ve overlooked something) or just a gripe.
I don’t think I’m missing something when I complain that the Inspector rules out suspect #3, just because suspect #3 isn’t eating chicken at the very moment he’s being questioned. How does that make sense? Suspect #2 isn’t eating chicken when he’s questioned either.
From Singapore Bill, who asks “How is having multiple candidates for a position connected to American Idol? Or is this a desperate attempt to seem hip, referencing a show that was hot 20 years ago?”
At the risk of being accused of understanding the comic, I will go ahead and say that I see that those are giant hands. But huh?

We’ve run out of CIDUs. If you have any laying around, please send them in.
