Boise Ed sends this in: “An employee comes to work late, whips out his ukulele and sings a Hank Williams song (according to the comments on GoComics), and then, out of the blue, they suggest that means he’s gay?”

Comments may be fixed
I tinkered with settings. Disabling “Enable blocks in comments” allows me to comment again. I did have to do a hard refresh (<cntrl><F5> in most browsers), so if it still doesn’t work for you, try that.
Hoping to see a comment from someone soon so I’ll know it’s working!
Adding a quote so we can see the styling both in post and in comments.
Outie
Usual John sends in this puzzler, which appeared on February 2: “Does “outie” have some meaning other than a convex navel?”
Saguaro Silly
targuman sends this one in: “I haven’t a clue.. “
Guzzling No More
Billr sends this in: “Obviously his weirdly shaped cup is key, but what exactly is going on?”
Those who like to ponder cartoon physics might wonder what the characteristics of such a coffee mug might be.
Fails the first blush test
I got this on second or third read, but I don’t think it gets points for execution:
Mitch asked, “What is the soccer ball doing in there?” but once I got the overall point (such as it was), I see why it’s there.
Am I being overly critical here?
Just Sit There and Take It!
In that column on the left, there is a Suggest-a-CIDU form. If you see something that particularly puzzles you, let us help by sending it in.
Honestly?
Phred submitted this Bizarro as a CIDU, asking for “Any clues on this personalized license plate?“
…
Can anyone think of a good clue that doesn’t immediately give away the answer?
Two half-CIDUs
The essence of the joke here is good: that perhaps the pyramids had a second use in providing entertainment for Pharaoh. Not getting the extra graft part.
The joke here is also basically clear, with that nice added pun in the lefthand corner. But why a cat?
(a) To get in the way while he’s working, as cats tend to do?
(b) An allusion to the supposed origin story of Jim Davis developing Garfield? “Davis decided to peruse current comic strips to determine what species of animal characters might be more popular. He felt that dogs were doing well, but noticed no prominent cats. Davis figured he could create a cat star, having grown up on a farm with twenty-five cats.” (Wikipedia)
(c) An inside joke that cartoonists tend to be cat people?
(d) Other ________________
Flying Corgi Predecessor?
Jack Applin sends this in: “The caveman is pleased with the mammoth he drew. Is the mammoth jumping, afraid of a primitive mouse? Is it flying, with its Mercury-like ears, as an ancestor of the modern flying corgi (https://i.imgflip.com/66d5ta.jpg)?”
