Is it as simple as Sluggo not understanding, after all these decades fending for himself, how to attach a worm to a hook? Is Nancy scaring the fish?

May-I
Phred and Boise Ed sent this in: “I definitely didn’t get this until I read the comments on the page… Certainly fits the bill here.”
Poke
billr sends this in: “It obviously hinges on what a “Poke” is, and the only poke I know of is the Hawaiian street food.”
There’s this classic children’s book:
There’s also Gumby’s pal Pokey, but that’s probably not much help, either.
Speaking of Pokey, there’s this Bizarro from Sunday (LOL, not CIDU).
A Cherry on Top?
I could understand the employee’s reaction if the boss had said “Although we can’t give you a salary increase, we’re giving you more responsibilities”. Here, it’s a mystery why the employee would make that sarcastic response.
Rapunzel
Mitch4 sends this in: “Well, halfway CIDU. I get it that the hair is given a location-specific styling at each place. But not exactly how.
So, what is #1? A wandering stream? Why?
For #2, I guess it’s spaghetti curling?
For #3, I was thinking French Braid … except it’s not braided. So, soft-serve ice cream??”
Um…what?
Kedamono sends:
Something something apples…graduating, to be used elsewhere? WTF?!
Demolition
Tiny Bubbles
Bob Ball sends this in: “Don’t those small bubbles rising from near the stern mean that whoever’s behind the wheel is drunk?”
The bubbles seem like a odd addition to an otherwise clever double pun. There’s the obvious pun around the sailors being on the mast, and the alternative definition of mast: “fruits, seeds, or nuts (such as berries, pine seeds, or acorns) of trees or shrubs that serve as food for wild or domestic animals and typically accumulate on the ground”
My Wife
Warning: you may find some of the references here offensive — because they are!
A momentary CIDU, because it’s explained in the mouseover text: ” Borat came out twenty years ago this year–closer to the breakup of the Soviet Union than to today–but it honestly feels like it’s been even longer, somehow.”
But, before mousing over, I was reminded of Henny Youngman: “Take my wife … please.”
And then “My wife, I think I’ll keep her”, a Geritol ad from long ago.
That Borat reference:
Schizophrenia
Is there more to this than just a gratuitous insult?
I’ve not tried it, but matcha latte is a thing:
