NFTs are so 2021

There is dispute in comments as to whether the Wiz is angry because his wife corrected him and he is going to “zap” her or whether he’s mad because he hates geese and is going to do something about that. People having personal experience with geese (including me) tend towards the latter.

Anyone who has had Canada Geese (not “Canadian” Geese!) in their neighborhood can well imagine it’s the birds he’s mad at, but it sure seems unclear.

The artist’s title for this was “Cat and Girl versus Nostalgic Realism”. That doesn’t help much either.
Sent by Dirk the Daring, who asks “Is this about Twitter? Or about nothing? Damned if I know.”

Yeah, you GOTTA suppose it is somehow about Twitter — even though the repeated “twit” never becomes “Twitter” or “tweet”, and that bird is not the blue Twitter icon bird.
I’m guessing GoComics accidentally posted a prelim version of this comic, and then because it was Sunday didn’t replace it. But if anyone wants to fill in some dialogue, feel free!

As I write this (2/20, 11:30am) it still hasn’t been fixed, although the author commented yesterday that GoComics had been contacted. Update: fixed as of 2/21, 5pm.
Oddly enough, it seems that they’ve also retroactively messed up the previous two Sundays (because there are no comments on that one indicating anything is missing, and I remember reading these previously).


An apple shaped vehicle. A bird with a worm in its mouth. A green hat. A bow tie. And …?

An analog / digital joke with the wrong terminology? The escalator is actually less acoustic in its broken state, since it’s making no noise.


A fish inspection?
Thanks to Brian in STL for this puzzling case of “either you know it or you don’t” from Heart of the City. Brian and your editors all were in the don’t-know bucket, but the bit was illuminated by comments in the GoComics site.

Please refrain from posting spoiler answers before, shall we say noon? Though you can get your licks in by just saying you got it.

What does Renoir have to do with it? Is the hiker a city guy seeing a city scene (deli with hanging salamis) in a painting that isn’t really that? Or that actually <i>is</i> the painting, rather than the pastoral landscape we expect?
