    chemgal: If they can make an outboard motor appear like that, then changing places should be a snap.

Is that you, God? It’s me, confused

I mean, I guess that’s God, but it could just as well be Santa…or one of the guys from ZZ Top?!

How did we even get here?

  • Olive Brinker, Rae the Doe
  • 21 Comments

Okay, I only read Rae sporadically, and could not list many characters for you. But this still leaves a whole lot that cannot be explained without spending a few years in immersion learning of anime. What the after-all is going on, anybody!

In case it you think it would help to consult other recent Sunday “Echidna-Lad!!” episodes, here are a couple:

No idea what it’s about.

Why are the wells slightly different colors? What is the significance?? And look who what is where???


And then look what came along a couple of days later!

So smooth

Suggested by a reader who noticed something immediately after pressing Send on our handy-dandy Suggest-A-Cidu form, and thereupon wanted to retract! But we didn’t think that spelling solves all the mystery in this panel! What is that pet, how did it happen, are there more like it ..?

Seegars?

  • Dinette Set, Julie Larson
  • 13 Comments

Unca $crooge sends this one in, noting “This seems like two different conversations but maybe there is a connection that I don’t get.”

The Dinette Set is in reruns, so this could refer to some current event we’ve forgotten, although this comic didn’t tend to refer to current events.

Boom boom room

  • John Deering, John Newcombe, Zack Hill
  • 13 Comments

It’s almost clear and obvious – turns out the loud / parent.disturbing / teen-typical music booming thru the speakers is not what Zack is listening to thru the already-donned headphones. Because instead, he is hearing. . . what, exactly?
