Mark H. sends this one in as an LOL (not a CIDU). The original goes like this:
Jane and Martin
Sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G!
First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes baby
In a baby carriage!
So can we provide some finishes to Randall Munroe’s starting lines, or provide our own?
travelgirl and Boise Ed and Mdbrownmd all sent this in.
“I suppose that Wayno is contrasting the formalwear with the casual floral shirts that TJ people wear at work. That’s the closest I can come to discerning a joke here.”
“Am i dense for an inability to understand the caption as it relates to the visual? the couple appear to be married, formally-dressed, watching TV while eating food “well-dressed” people probably aren’t going to order often, at least not while wearing gowns and tuxedos…
And why Trader Joe’s? please help enlighten someone who just woke up a few minutes ago :) “
“I just don’t get it, and I shop at Trader Joe’s all the time.”
Jack Applin sent this in, with multiple comments;
• A cat is lecturing to people.
• The cat is using a laser pointer, but isn’t chasing the dot.
• “EKEKEKEK”? Not “EEK”.
• The mice have motion vectors; the leftmost is spinning.
• The bottom mouse is dead (x for eye).
• I thought the mice were in/above water, but that is text,
as seen in the bullet points to the right.
• Despite all this data, I have no idea what’s going on.
We are encouraging catty remarks in the comments.
Why two police lines? What’s the significance of the stump? Is it significant that the bodies are at the same orientation?
It’s a CIDU if you don’t understand a somewhat obscure reference.
Sheep sends in this one: “I think the bearded guy feels like a champion. But why does the marathon guy appear in his dream?”
The CIDU here is the relevance of panel 3. Is this a Tickle Me Elmo reference of some sort? That panel seems irrelevant to the joke. This was originally published in 2012.
The girl in this strip is about 10.
Thanks to Sue for suggesting and discussing this one. “Why is Gracie smoking??” she asks.
