Dirk the Daring sends this in: “Not a CIDU, but this can’t possibly be a coincidence, right? I’d guess Mr. Pett is knowledgeable about music. At least one commenter besides me noticed it.”



Not every day is an exciting day, even if you are a superhero.

Markus sends this in this puzzler from SMBC:

“The hovertext is:
“Friend of Wigner is actually private slang in physics, which means ‘willing to talk about Quantum Foundations'””
“The extra panel does not really help, either:”

“So, I summon the mighty Oracle (i.e. the CIDU readership) to instill some sense in this comic.”

Mitch4 send this in: “Momentary CIDU / then OY after you get it.”

I’ll order the Bombe from Acme bakeries.

In other news, Olivia Jaimes has announced her retirement from the Nancy strip after 7 years. (This doesn’t surprise me; in the past months she seemed to have hit a stretch where she was running out of ideas.)
The strip will be taken over on January 1, 2026 by Caroline Cash, who did a few Nancy strips during Jaimes’s 2024 sabbatical (July 22 through August 11, 2024).

This one’s a clear nod to classic Bushmiller gags, one of which I posted a few days ago.

Dan Piraro had this curious take on Nancy a couple of days ago, although it’s not clear this was at all related to the authorship transition.




Putting this one is for that 4th panel. Lucy as a princess fits.
