A few bugs in the system?

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).

A Red Delicious CIDU

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

The Humor isn’t Escalating

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

Approved!

A fish inspection?

There it goes!

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.

Blame it on the Steve Martin

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?

What’s that got to do with the price of Peanuts?

Hasn’t the psychiatric booth always been five cents? Is this new? Updated for post-COVID inflation? Or did I miss something else?

https://peanuts.fandom.com/wiki/Lucy%27s_psychiatry_booth talks about it being seven cents for legal help, but this isn’t that.

With the snowman involved, I’d’ve guessed prices would be frozen! <boom-tish>

Quit horsin’ around!

It’s a sad day when you can’t tell whether something is a clue or just an oddity of a cartoonist’s drawing style.

Thanks to waltmorris for the contribution!

Mmm, bread pudding!

Thanks to Ooten Aboot:

… who explains: “I understand the point of bread pudding is to use perishable ingredients (e.g. bread, milk and eggs) before they perish. I don’t understand why A & J would keep perishables as their ‘snow provisions’. Suspension of disbelief will only stretch so far.”

Definitely OYs. I mean, I get all of them, I just didn't laugh at any.

What puzzles me about this one is the "as we all know it does" part. BTW, Brevity is not always…

Marie *Callender

Marie Calendar also has a frozen food line that likely is available nationwide.

Would be better if Horace was seen in the 'shifted' panel. I guess this is a better variation on comic…

It may be that the purpose of my life is to serve as a warning to others.
