    There was a cartoon I recall, possibly a New Yorker, with the Supreme Court Justices playing the Muses in baseball.…

    Well, well well, apparently it was an earlier character that fell.

    Oddly, according to all the references I can find, although all kinds of horrible things happened to Timmy, he never…

Leaving aside the issue of putting legs on a calculator and phone, what’s the joke?

A Balloon?!

  • John Deering, Strange Brew

From billr:

It’s obviously Tax Season (in the US), but I don’t see any joke here. All I can think of is, “floating a balloon” as a financial thing, but aside from that, nothing.

All I get from my accountant is a piece of chocolate (and a bill)!

Mitch4 sends this in: “Seems like the fertility clinic has already done their job, only too well — and the sister ought to be staying out of that place, not going back!”

(intended for Thursday 3/19 but accidentally posted now. So I’m getting ahead of myself.)

Stumped!

(Yes, that’s a tree joke)

billr asks,

Is a tree fund some new kind of financial instrument?

Anyone? Your editor has a theory but doesn’t much like it.

Boise Ed sends this in: “I think they are holding paper clips. What that has to do with the speech line is anyone’s guess.”

As I remember what a grade school classroom can do with paper clips if someone finds some rubber bands, I think I’d take my chances with rulers.

I don’t see it

Dirk the Daring (this time with the “the”!) says,

She may see things, but I don’t.

I’m truly baffled too. Unless Rosa is nine feet tall and is looking over the tops of the shelves, which I’m pretty sure she isn’t.

P.S. Unless WordPress is flaky (always a distinct possibility), this is the first time Rosebuds has made CIDU!

Kedamono sends this in: “I know what OCD is, but… not in the context of this comic strip. Is the guy’s wife playing at Eve for some reason, and how does it pertain to her supposed OCD? I dunno!”

Mike Brown sends this in: “I just don’t understand. Can someone tell me what I’m missing here? Is it because she’s the only rider looking at another person? Is it because her clothes are different?”
