The first two panel are a joke; an old joke, but still a joke. I don’t get that third panel.

Boise Ed sends this in: “Total CIDU here. The only word here that makes any sense to me is “three.” What does “Sagittarius” have to do with anything? Or “jackass”? I see nothing astrological, astronomical, or rude.”


But he’ll be issued a citation. And if there’s a citation, it wouldn’t be plagiarism. Right?

What’s confusing to me is that (1) I see ads for stuff like this all the time, and (2) there actually were people who made a lot of profit in the global financial troubles in 2008 (as written up by Michael Lewis in The Big Short). So I don’t see a joke here. Is there one?

This was a complete CIDU for me until I read the comments on the web:

I’ll let the hive-mind see what y’all think. No cheating! (But it’s at https://www.gocomics.com/theargylesweater/2025/07/27 to save you the trouble if, like me, you give up.)

Puzzle over these from July, 1995: some LOL, some CIDU, some …?

July is when the new interns typically start in hospitals.
