Elementary, My Dear Watson
I understand the Wizard of Oz references, but Holmes? I must be missing some cultural reference.

Bob Ball sends this in: “Maybe cats in the 12/8 CIDU could have explained it.”
Is there a backstory to these characters that explains the joke?
The Shape of Things to Come?
travelgirl sends this in: “I understand what a catenary is, but have no idea what that has to do with the punchline… guess my retirement years are catching up to me :) “
Mouseover text: “Some tires are marketed as all-shape tires, but if driven in a climate with both inverted catenary falls and triangle falls they wear out really fast.”
What’s the Point?
You don’t have to be Bill Bickel not to understand this cat cartoon.
On a similar theme – perhaps – but NOT a CIDU, is this one:
Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime?
Jack Applin sends this in: “In the world of Rabbits Against Magic, dimes are worth 5¢. I suppose that nickels are worth 10¢? Unfortunately, since the word “dime” comes from “one-tenth”, this means that a dollar is worth 50¢. Dear oh dear. On the other hand, he did correctly say “400% increase”, as opposed to the common but incorrect “500% increase”, so that’s worth something.”
CIDU is a non-political space. Please confine comments to the odd math shown, rather than the particular politician mentioned in the last panel.

billr also sends this in: “The coffeemaker question seems like a non sequitur. And what’s with her eye?”
Thanks for Nothing
Kerfuffle
Dirk the Daring sends this in: “Oddly enough, I totally confused.
Those aren’t restaurant chairs. Why do they have a word of the day? And what has kerfuffle to do with anything? Does it have something to do with the other chair being empty? He had a kerfuffle with his partner? I dunno, I’m lost.”
Doggone it!
Mitch4 sends this in: “Has Pardon My Planet somehow been colonized by Pluggers?”
