Highlighting this panel from the Sunday comic as the CIDU:
The context isn’t helpful. The Sunday Dark Side of the Horse is often a series of short gags.

Veteran’s Day Comic I Don’t Understand
Repeating this post from CIDU Bill, in recognition of Veterans’ Day.
Brnito
A search for Brnito comes up empty.
Eldritch means weird and sinister or ghostly. But if it isn’t an eldritch-themed resta.., why is it making them sweat?
B2, or not B2?
Mitch4 sends this in: “A comment mentions “Business to China” which I have never heard, but it does remind me that there is a “business to business” category sometimes abbreviated “B2B”. But why would this elementary school class be studying that?”
Yes, let’s use those other letters!
B2F: Business to Fraud
B2G: Business to Government
B2I: Business to Influencers
B2M: Business to Military, or Business to Monkeys (somebody has to sell the barrels to those monkeys)
B2P: Business to Ponzi, or Business to Prison
Rolling Over
Anthropomorphized animals in comics are common, but sometimes confusing. How much are we supposed to think of these as having dog characteristics, and how much as human characteristics?
In this case, the applicant put of their resume that they rolled over in 2017 — 9 years ago if this isn’t a rerun. Is rolling over a good thing, showing the ability to master a skill, or a bad thing, like giving up or showing too much subservience.
Or, is it necessarily a resume (since it’s more than one page) — maybe an assessment by an outside agency?
Another anthropormorphized animal comic, but this one is in the LOL category. (not a CIDU)
Yo, Ho, Ho and a Box of Pepperoni
Marrose sends this in: “Okay, I get that the bird would view the drone as competition, but what does the pirate hat and pizza have to do with anything?”
DysSpooner?
Mitch4 sends this in as an OY, but it’s a bit of a CIDU to me. Does dyslexia lead to Spoonerisms?
Who dat?
From Jack Applin:
He notes:
In this scene from The Shining, it’s funny that he would call a blood splatter expert to analyze thousands of gallons of blood. Ha! The mystery is the names. Who is Tom Wilkins? Who is Phil?
Well, I’m Phil, but not THAT Phil, so I’m with him! Anyone??
Perhaps even weirder, when I search for
“Tom wilkins” blood spatter
I get mostly hits for this cartoon–including from the Andertoons site, where it’s filed under “Holiday Cartoons”. What kind of holiday?!?!
Clown Burgers
I don’t get it. The couple in the tan car aren’t colored. Is that a colorist’s error, or part of a joke?
