A link-only reference to this Medusa Far Side:
That’s quite a surprise!
“Thought I was being ghosted.”
A slightly Ewww-flavored LOL:
This might take a moment as a Quickie-CIDU before resolving as a LOL:
Bliss has been running an excellent series with the dog and/or cat in anthropomorphized domestic settings. Here is a good example:
An OY-Ewww :
This semi-CIDU OY is from Boise Ed, who notes the apparent error that they are doing downhill skiing but the text is about cross-country. But why is it not actually in error? Hmm?
Thanks to Karl for sending this in, and saying “Seems like it is trying to make the joke about a broken clock being right twice a day, but how that plays with new years day is a mystery to me.”
Um, he sees it on the ventriloquist’s *right* wrist (hidden from us)?
No, not from the Non Sequitur strip. That’s instead a characterization of this Arlo and Janis.
Not “sent in by” but still suggested by someone: commenter Tyge at GoComics said “This looks like a CIDU to me. 8^( ”
A CIDU-Quickie is like a Minor-Mystery — it seems like it will work out to a good joke, but there’s that just-one-thing we can’t understand. But it’s so close, obviously once someone makes a good suggestion there will be nothing to discuss; so it can’t be expected to be a standalone CIDU to satisfy a whole day’s spot.
Thanks to BillR for this CIDU-Quickie from Bizarro, about which he writes “No idea what the x-balls are.” Well I had an idea – but it wasn’t very good. Then BillR wrote back that his wife had a better idea – and yes it was better. But still not certain. So, what say you?
(Did this already get posted separately and discussed?? I thought so but can’t find it.)
This is a case of what some defined the “oopsie” for – a possibly good joke, but something about the drawing is wrong, or as in this case, tiny, scribbled, and indecipherable, to the extent that the joke is quite lost.
So the anticipated encounter is …. “Hold on! Where are you going with that ape” … “No, this is my kid! Look, here’s our tickets, that proves it.”
Did he go back in, to literally ask to be abused once more? And is the thing hanging from his collar in the 2nd panel the guitar seen on the ground in the 1st panel (or maybe its case)? Was his guitar playing the reason Sarge is booting him out?
He always swung low … when boxing? Would that be just poor form, or against the rules? Or maybe in his free time, out playing softball and swinging a bat?
Anyway, let’s have a rendition of this song.
Thanks to Alan Smithee for sending in this Mutts and asking “[Sunday’s] Mutts seems to be a ‘Whodunit’, but I can’t tell what the solution is supposed to be”. And I can’t even tell what the question was supposed to be!
No excuse beyond the canine link:
Has he seasoned it himself? And uses some of that expensive saffron for the dog? How nice! Oh, or maybe he sampled some, and the spice report is the result of his tasting? Or it’s advertised that way, and he’s looking to verify the claims?
