Ghostly
A friend pointed me at this, saying “Straight to CIDU — it’s ghost of sea creature? Very weak if so”.
I have to agree. I’ve enlarged it to the point of serious pixelization and still don’t get it at all.
Simon and Garfunkel’s version had better lyrics
It’s a CIDU if you don’t understand a somewhat obscure reference.
Not the Midas touch
This striking but very puzzling Six Chix cartoon by the Friday chick, Maritsa Patrinos, was suggested by CIDU readers travelgirl, bobanero, and Jack Applin; and understanding remains elusive also for CIDU editors and for Comics Kingdom commenters.
(P.S., thanks for letting us know about https://www.usatoday.com/comics as another outlet for viewing King Features / Comics Kingdom cartoons.)
P.S.
Little did we suspect, when writing a title for this post based on the Six Chix comic, that we would almost immediately run across an actual Midas-themed cartoon!

OMG! He’s been harvesting the youngsters!
These critters cannot be newly placed around the tree trunks, as shown, but must have had a newly planted small tree grow up within the loop. But Ed got hold of some by just lifting them off a still-immature tree, or perhaps felling a small tree. Monster!
Or do you have some kind of better explanation for this scene?
In His Dreams
Sheep sends in this one: “I think the bearded guy feels like a champion. But why does the marathon guy appear in his dream?”
Mystery always says to us that …
And in case you think the Spanish version will help:
Commenters also are stumped:
Bonus: Luann congratulates itself
They tell you where the answer can be found.
Before consulting that official answer, as a regular Luann reader but not a long-long-term fan, I was able to decode many of the individual clues, but could not give it an overall meaning. How will CIDU readers do, on either level?
