There seems to be a point, something cynical or at least skeptical, but hard to pin down. “Recycling is just a fake anyway”?
Conspiracy theory? Just a prank?

Pardon my anxiolytic
He’s making some kind of statement, but I don’t get the standpoint. Is there some belief system under which all the heavenly host are taken to be bedeviled with fear and trembling?

This comic made me more than moderately confused:
…
I haven’t watched an American television game show in over three decades. I assume that they still exist, but I have no idea whether this comic might be playing on some current development in the genre.
Will this go Swimmingly?
Usual John, Unca $crooge, and Dirk the Daring all sent this in, Dirk noting: “Normally this strip is just about sex, repetitive, but easy to understand. But this one I don’t get, what are they laughing at? Am I missing something obvious?”
It’s 9 Chickweed Lane, so it’s almost certainly about sex, but I don’t get it, either. Here’s the previous two days in this story line:
The following day (August 31, 2024) switched characters entirely, and does not help.
Page an ENT, stat!
Dirk The Daring found this in The New Yorker. Of course a statistically significant percentage of New Yorker cartoons are CIDUs, but this one seems close to making sense. Something about her big ears and the ENT in the window?! Anyone? Bueller??

Yes, yes! One of these guys sold me a “This is not a shirt” tee shirt.
…
Unless it was one of these guys! Number five looks very sus!
Boise Ed sent this one in, noting “The robotic lawn mower is just doing what it is supposed to do, right?”
Your editor, drawing from unfortunate personal experiences, sees allusions to the problems caused when one dog is on leash, but another dog is not, or maybe just barking dogs in general. So we’re marking this CIAU (Comic I almost understand)
Who do you mean?
It seems like we will be getting a lesson, about caring or something like that. But who is the “invisible woman”? The strongly drawn character in the foreground, whose story we have no difficulty seeing? Or one of the dimmed-out supernumeraries in the background, whose narrative we see only in chopped-up pieces? And either way, … so what?
Ankh?
I have no idea what Leigh Rubin intended with this cartoon:
…
The symbols on the wall are indeed a pair of ankhs, but why is it supposed to be funny when a goose says that?
“Not Furries, we’re Slimeys!”
Or is either genuinely what the costume suggests?
