Thanks to Brian in STL for this Lío. He mentions “The strip is in reruns, so this is originally from 2006.”

Raisins? Erm …
The first panel seems ready to get a little more topical / political than Wrong Hands usually means to get into. But then IDU the second panel. Are the free raisins just something inconsequential, that you would probably drive right past? Or is the situation there rather suspicious? No grape vines, so we’re not talking natural sun-dried raisins. Will they just be rabbit pellets?

Going Batty
Frequently Lay Lines does have a definite joke and a punch line, but not always. The times when it doesn’t are often when she’s in the throes of a long continuing story; but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. So: does anybody see a distinct joke – or are we just going to enjoy the account of Carol’s history with bats?
Finger food? Or what?
Gross, but. . .
Gross, but what’s the joke? From DanV.
Another fin mess
Can anyone explain what makes this so creepy?
Spit in the ocean?
(Yes, it’s a euphemism. Also a poker variant, the first we learned about with “community cards” before the behemoth of “Hold ‘Em” took over the world.)
If you want to pursue the “restroom signage” theory, here as a bonus comic is some evidence this artist likes to use those:
