How many of us have a pile of unread books? How long as the oldest unread one been in that pile? When was the last time you thinned out the pile, by saying “Nah, not going to ever read that?” Did you regift the book, and later found it sitting in THEIR unread books pile?
How to you label it? “Books I’ll read when I retire”? or “Books to read when I can’t sleep”?
Geezer alert?

Or that scene has been replayed / imitated / parodied so much that it could be well known even among those who have never seen any more of the movie it comes from.

I had better luck with the first one after recalling the artist’s first name — but then there is the question of whether I’m mispronouncing something, because the phonetic joke isn’t working for me as it stands.
These are perhaps semi-CIDUs. So do two semi-CIDUs make one CIDU?
Usual John sends in this puzzler: who is he hiding from, and why? Hiding the purchase from his wife? Hiding so he can avoid tipping?

Dirk the Daring sent in this Foxtrot. May 5th is World Cartoonist Day, but even cartoonists seem to have ignored it, judging by my feed. I guess it’s hard to compete with tacos and margaritas.


Urban dictionary was no help on the 3 book words, except for this bit of localized British slang:
