Harry Bliss did not include a caption with this comic. As such, it’s a CIDU. But can we come up with a caption that would fit?

Gobs of fun
Andréa wonders how many still know this song, or is it just us geezers? I asked my daughters (in their 30s). One had heard of a slightly different version, the other had never heard it.
Neither of my two grandchildren (an 8 year old boy and a 6 year old girl) had heard of it. Feel free to report your own survey results!
A fuller version:
Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Itty-bitty birdy feet
Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts
And me without a spoon
Providing support
I did figure this one out, but it took me a while. The problem for me is that the faces of the two at the table sent me in a different direction. The dialogue balloon being placed next to the person who isn’t speaking didn’t help.
Long line?
No matter what type of creature is behind your success, the saying still has only one. Why would the line be long?
Double “Eww” Synchronicity (viewer discretion advised)

Styxing it to ’em

. . . if so, the comic is 10 days early, as he was born on 25 July, NOT 15 July.
Here’s a bonus Steve Goodman track, another live performance, the ultimate country song:

Are there gas stations in heaven?
Boise Ed: “Taking the wings seems to imply accepting that you’re dead. The free Camaro leaves me with no idea at all.”
Which reminds me of something I’ve thought about: the religious concept of eternity. Christians can imagine heaven as a place, but not a real place. It sits outside the dimensions of length, width, and depth. So why shouldn’t it sit outside the realm of time, as well?
Stumped
I can see they are unhappy animals huddled under a tree, but what’s the joke? What’s special about this tree, that it was left? Why are there domestic animal in there (a cow, a sheep) that wouldn’t be in a forest anyway?
Another stump theme. This one’s not a CIDU; It might be titled “Pinocchio, the Final Cut”
Something’s Bugging Me About This Analogy
As Kilby writes, Adam “doesn’t seem to get ANY of these analogies right”.
Can we help him?
Is there a connection between a premium and an orc (beyond the fact that the Uruk-Hai were a new, premium type of orc developed by Sauron)?
Is there a connection between a deductible and a ranger? (etc.)
Can you think of another literary work that might be a better fit to insurance? (Maybe Kafka’s The Trial for health insurance claims, for example?)
By the way, have you checked lately to make sure your car’s extended warranty isn’t about to expire?
And Some Fireworks to End the Day!
If fireworks were sentient:
From Kilby, with a nod to Andréa and many other pet owners.
