Is this just a comic channeling the “cats just sit there” meme, or is there more to it?

Posting the author’s Facebook post with his cartoon, just to show if you don’t get it, you’re not alone.
Is the Water Cooler?
Phred sends this one in: “I cannot figure out why their office break is at a African water hole…”
Income Tax Day
Lemonade
Boise Ed sends this one in: “First, Dennis has always liked Gina (as opposed to Margaret), so why would he go to great lengths to avoid serving her? Also, if he’s out of product, why would he and the empty pitcher still be sitting there?”
Saturday Morning OYs – April 12, 2025
Boise Ed sends this in: “The comic itself is okay (or would have been, 48 years ago), but I laughed out loud at the squirrel’s quip.”
Auntie Em
“Auntie Em” seems like a Wizard of Oz reference, but beyond that I’m stumped.
Cartoon Physics?
Rubes Cubed
BVCC sends this in: “Has Leigh Rubin lost his marbles? Three CIDUs in a row. I almost get see something in Friday’s, with “load” having a scatological connotation. But it doesn’t seem like a joke to me. And I don’t get “horse property” or “Lilliputian Marines” at all.”
Here’s the earlier ones BVCC refers to:
A search for “horse property” pulls up this one: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3113-Camino-Del-Rancho-Encinitas-CA-92024/52510076_zpid/ Put in your bids now!
Your editor, a statistician, finds it interesting that the question of “where are there a lot of horses?” depends somewhat on how you map the data. All 3 maps are from Brilliant Maps, with the data originating with the USDA. For example, Fayette County, KY is #1 in horses per square mile, but not even in the top 10 in horses per capita.
Old Men
JMcAndrew sends in these two, with an old man theme: “Trying to figure this one out. I’ve seen the movie “Grumpy Old Men” and don’t think that Walter Matthau looks anything like Saddam Hussein.”
JMcAndrew: I get the joke and I have seen “Blow Out” which is actually an excellent film. Submitted as an obvious eww but also considered that Travolta is now over 70 it wouldn’t be that surprising to find out he does have need for incontinence products.
