(intended for Thursday 3/19 but accidentally posted now. So I’m getting ahead of myself.)
(Yes, that’s a tree joke)

Anyone? Your editor has a theory but doesn’t much like it.
Boise Ed sends this in: “I think they are holding paper clips. What that has to do with the speech line is anyone’s guess.”
As I remember what a grade school classroom can do with paper clips if someone finds some rubber bands, I think I’d take my chances with rulers.
Dirk the Daring (this time with the “the”!) says,
She may see things, but I don’t.
I’m truly baffled too. Unless Rosa is nine feet tall and is looking over the tops of the shelves, which I’m pretty sure she isn’t.
P.S. Unless WordPress is flaky (always a distinct possibility), this is the first time Rosebuds has made CIDU!
Kedamono sends this in: “I know what OCD is, but… not in the context of this comic strip. Is the guy’s wife playing at Eve for some reason, and how does it pertain to her supposed OCD? I dunno!”
Mike Brown sends this in: “I just don’t understand. Can someone tell me what I’m missing here? Is it because she’s the only rider looking at another person? Is it because her clothes are different?”
Dan Thompson‘s Brevity usually involves a pun. In this one, we have someone sweating because of the Captcha. But the man isn’t a Frankenstein’s monster. Tyrell Property is a British real estate company, but Dan Thompson is an American cartoonist living in North Carolina. The two words seem to be Epslo and vector. EPSLO stands for “End of Program Student Learning Outcomes.” It refers to the specific competencies and skills that students are expected to achieve upon completing an educational program, particularly in fields like nursing. These outcomes guide the curriculum and assessment of students to ensure they are prepared for entry-level practice.
That’s a hint at the joke: Epslo would ordinarily be assessed at the end of a program, but here they are being asked for it in order to enter the program.
Can the joke really be this convoluted and obscure?
Update, courtesy of commenter Tstyle7B on GoComics: “The Tyrell Corporation is a famous fictional high-tech firm from the Blade Runner universe, founded by Eldon Tyrell and based in Los Angeles. It is known for designing and manufacturing humanoid, genetically engineered androids called “replicants” for use as slaves and soldiers in Off-world colonies.”
So, after all this, it’s not a CIDU for me anymore. But maybe it will be for others, or maybe having spent this much time on this post, I’m going to post it, regardless. [not “irregardless”]
That still leaves us with the unanswered question: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

B&C already has one character who tells very obscure jokes – Horace, posted a couple of days ago. Do they need two?
