Kedamono sends this in: “For the life of me I don’t get the joke made by the alien, Odom. And I can see the word balloons.”
The construction is curious. Is the yellow character (the editor isn’t fully familiar with this strip) supposed to be seeing/hearing some of the word balloons but not others? Is the joke just going over their head?
Ian Christian sends this in: “I’ve heard of Larry David but I haven’t got the foggiest notion what it all means‽”
BVCC sends this in: “I got nothin’. Maybe I’m too old for meme jokes.”
Kedamono sends this in: “It’s not the joke, but the flag. What do those symbols mean? I can’t make heads or tails of them.”
…but it definitely will be for some! Thanks, billr:
Bill didn’t know who the guy in the bed is. I guess the key is to guess what operation he needs!

Jack Applin sends this in: “The rabbit, Eightball, seems to have it backward—he states that the British caricature calls this an elevator, but the British generally call that vertically-mobile conveyance a lift. He also states that “we” call it a lift, but I’m not sure where “we” are. I always figured that Rabbits Against Magic took place in the USA (the January 12 states that “we invaded Venezuela”).
Also, where is Mr. Wriggly, the worm who is generally in all the strips?”
Dirk the Daring shares this, wondering “Is this just cluelessness or am I missing something? Is there an innuendo related to ‘get out’? And if there isn’t, there should be.”
The only comments so far on Comics Kingdom show equal bafflement, wondering where the “gynecologist” comment comes from. One commenter notes, “There’s oblivious, and then there’s Curtis Wilkins”, which I tend to agree with.
Folks, we’re thin on the ground with upcoming posts–please do share your CIDUs!
Likely only a momentary CIDU today; I’m adding a Geezer alert, though.
Is there a pun here (Brevity is often a pun), or is this just a coach who wants to watch a beautiful woman?
If she gets there, it will be one singular sensation.
Jack Applin sends this in: “A hyphen between “you” and “know”? As in “you-know”? What sense does that make? If she will criticize his punctuation, then she should also condemn the excessive and random number of dots in his ellipses, though she is no better with her five-dot ellipsis.”
So she’s able to read thought balloons clearly enough to discern hyphens?
