Is this some homage to XKCD? Or to some other cultural reference? Why would stick figures be affected by a hot tub? What’s the problem with putting their heads in? Are those towels?
Eggheads?

Resisting the temptation to just go look
It’s more interesting without checking the Carolyn Hax column it may have been drawn to illustrate.
Wrong-handed bookmarks
There are actually several of these I don’t readily get.
Liō-ing in Jeremy’s bed?
This appeared last Sunday, and while neither Mitch nor I got it at first glance, maybe I do after staring at it a bit more. But it’s still opaque enough to make me want to hear what others think of it.
Tatulli also gets points IMHO for doing a decent job of copying Jim Borgman’s style! It’s always fun when you see one cartoonist do that with another’s characters.
Unidentified Object
Boise Ed notes: “Seriously CIDU. We have a man on the shore, watching a diving whale and what looks like a giant, flying Covid virus. Some commenters thought the latter was a mine, slapped by the whale who somehow avoided being blown up.”
Or a small Death Star? High-tech whale watching (or hunting)?
Chess on earth
Sometimes Life on Earth will seize on some setting or prop or situation to use in several daily panels, without any clear intent to take them together as anything like a narrative sequence or theme-and-variations. All I can come up with about the examples below is that they all involve the game of chess, in one way or another.

Teresa Burritt, creator of the GoCreator designation & pin, has been practicing what she preached, and showed up in the GoComics comments for the “Strip Chess” one. She noted that the guy with the one red sock apparently had matching underpants. Hey wait a minute, just how nude is this guy?!

This would be my choice for “one of these is actually funny”.
Confused theology
Ghosts can die? Their ghosts have ghosts? The ghosts’ ghosts can be further killed by ceiling fans, even though they are noncorporeal?
Oh those sneaky notes!
Here’s one sent by two readers, Boise Ed and James Riendeau:
Ed limns the puzzlement for us: “Grimm appears to be writing on a notepad. Goose is on a landline call. Is ‘sneaking notes’ some kind of cell-phone thing? I’m totally lost here, and none of the [GoComics site] commenters got it, either.”
Much Something
It turns out that this isn’t a CIDU once you see the followup, but Kilby quite rightly flagged the first of the pair:
The sequel is here:

Whom do you mean?
No, no way to sum up who these boys are and what their take is.
But what’s up with this band they have decided to follow, The Whom? It’s not a good fit as a parody on The Who. And the collection of covers isn’t doing a Wrong Hands number, either. But can you make out more than a collection of singleton jokes?
