Thanks to BillR for sending this one:
Is there a song we should be familiar with that *is* about fish and this performer might have in his repertoire? Or wait, that he might have been getting requests for and had to decline?

Family is everything
From Le Vieux Lapin, who says “I get the part where the mobsters aren’t giving him concrete overshoes after all – but why THREE footprints?”.
By the way, in case you were wondering if they are generic or unaffiliated mobsters, the helpful alt hover text says “The Mafia Brothers”.
Right next door, innit?
From Stan, saying “I have one or two ideas about this, but they don’t really hold much water. Wouldn’t mind a solid explanation if one exists. Also, why didn’t Dagwood just drive Herb all the way home? It couldn’t have been too far out of his way.”
Top bird
This was sent both by Emma who says “It may be simple, but I just don’t get it! Thanks!” and by padraig who claims “I actually did get this, but it was more like a picture puzzle than a cartoon”.
And padraig tries to clue us on what he meant by a picture puzzle by adding “The pigeon is standing on a…..” But if he’s being a stool-pigeon, why is it what the cardinal will say that is being made an issue? I’m still thinking mostly they are contesting who will be the top dog, erm, bird.
(And by the way, as long as it’s still signed as Wayno & Piraro we think it should be tagged as both Wayno and Piraro. And their blogs often discuss their collaboration, and make it clear that altho Wayno scripts and draws the Mon-Sat cartoons, Piraro consults and gives a lot of input as well.)
He found the batmobile?
Sent in by Le Vieux Lapin, who asks “He dug into the bat cave and found the batmobile? If so, have Batman and Robin had THEIR rabies shots? Is something else going on here?”
Sunday Funnies – LOLs, December 5th, 2021
Let’s assume none of this crowd needs help with the allusion here!
Oh my, a sad-LOL from the Moon.
Well well, so the “Wake up and take your sleeping pill!” joke goes back a hundred years.
I suppose this does turn on word play, but it’s a LOL just as easily, and this list is maybe a touch short. (And ngl, I read it on Saturday evening so too late for today’s OYs and next week’s list isn’t set up yet.)
Saturday Morning Oys – December 4th, 2021
Here’s a funny pun from Boise Ed:
The dancer’s foot-across move in the last panel seems like just the right punctuation to signal a punch line, much like a rim shot. (Have there been tap-dancing stand-up-comedy acts?)
Picked this one up from Arnold Zwicky’s blog, where there is a full description and analysis.
And I just was watching Beanie Feldstein.
Deepen the mystery, you betcha
From Le Vieux Lapin, who says just “Yep”.
Or top hats, as used by magicians?
Sent in by Dan Sachs, who asks “Are these supposed to be KFC buckets?”; and by Targuman, who brings up that the brims and stripes raise issues for the buckets view.
When did you change it to Miller?
From Mike Brown, who says “Does it have to do with the spine of the book? Why can’t they talk about it again? I’m truly confused.”
