From BillR, who gets the awkward part but not the “whole milk” reference. Yes, ofc we know what whole milk is, but what calls for that label here?
Awkward!

… at Alice’s Restaurant!
And while we’re at it, another Reply All:
And this was a winning week for Andertoons!
This Lug Nuts is pretty funny, but leaves a mystery. Hence LOL-CIDU.
Thanks to maggiethecartoonist, who says “Always remember pants”.
Snitches cause glitches
Thanks to maggiethecartoonist for sending this in and posing the question, what exactly is a Snitch Burger supposed to be?
If you browse the Garfield archive from around this date, Jon has been regaling Garfield with tall tales from his family history, some of the strips involving this photo album or diary or scrapbook. But there is no more story about this young Mr Snitch (if that is actually his surname and not a descriptive moniker); and the idea of a carnivorous cow transmitting the snitchness into their eventual beef comes out of nowhere.
Art I Don’t Understand (AIDU)
Because of his heritage, I assume that Liniers knows more about Picasso than I do. I just don’t have the knowledge of his paintings to know what Liniers intended here.
Clean up this joke
Usual John sent this in, noting “Attic cleaning month? It looks like five minutes to sweep away the cobwebs and he’s done. What in the world is the Wizard talking about?”
So, is this just poor execution, which would be cleared up by drawing more stuff in that attic (so it looks more like mine)? Or is there something specific about the objects up here, either the wheel or the box circled in red in the second picture?
Unherd of
There’s some pun lurking about herd/heard there, but what???
Club Pinhead?
No, doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Zippy.
To cite the Classic CIDU Question, what’s the joke?
One might think that Wayno’s blog would help, but his comments on this one were mostly about how he rearranged the panel version for the strip version.
Yes, it’s re-enacting E.T. with different tech. What’s the joke?
Why did the chickens cross the room?
Thanks to Darren for suggesting this cartoon, which we might consider a CIDU or else an OY.
60 Years Ago in The New Yorker
This is from May, 1963. A year later, Khrushchev will be forced into retirement, so we did find out who would be so much worse to deal with after he was gone. Was he seen to be on the ropes then? Nina was Nikita’s second wife, although they didn’t marry until 1965.
Yes, CIDU discourages political discussions, but the statute of limitations on this one is likely past.
