Nice variation on a standard cat-behavior joke. (Do you’all remember Business Cat #1?)
I’d call this Andertoons just about perfect!
Hmm, would it be better if the two ideas in the last panel were reversed? First “wonder why” then “and how”?

Comics Kingdom is heavily promoting Goomer:
Good morning, Fathers!
I really like the “meta” element in this one, not to mention the fireworks:
Umm, what part are we looking at in the 2nd and 3rd panels? If exposed bone, then how can the patient be so wide-awake?
Also, if the parity of turns is correct, the current site is playing O, and has only losing moves. Can’t they concede, and not ship the guy off to let County, playing X, claim their victory?
A couple of exercise-themes LOLs.
chemgal sends in this prime LOL:
Alt text: Sorry to make you memorize this random set of digits. If it helps, it can also double as a mnemonic for remembering your young relatives’ birthdays, if they happen to have been born on February 5, 2018.
In case anyone was in doubt, there really is a very popular periodical called Wine Spectator.
Now *that* was a surprise!
How many of us have a pile of unread books? How long as the oldest unread one been in that pile? When was the last time you thinned out the pile, by saying “Nah, not going to ever read that?” Did you regift the book, and later found it sitting in THEIR unread books pile?
How to you label it? “Books I’ll read when I retire”? or “Books to read when I can’t sleep”?
Geezer alert?
Or that scene has been replayed / imitated / parodied so much that it could be well known even among those who have never seen any more of the movie it comes from.
Some comics with socks appeal:

From the “Wisdom from the Funny Papers” Department. Sometimes a “cry for help” must be responded to with help. Sometimes when “they’re just doing that for attention” the humane response includes paying attention.
BTW, Maritsa Patrinos of the Six Chix now has her own separate strip, called Working Cats and appearing at Comics Kingdom.
I thought this was going to be about sentence-adverbs; but it was better than that. (Hopefully, everybody remembers what the controversies and pseudo-rules about sentence-adverbs were.)
No, I don’t see a joke here. But also I can’t say there’s supposed to be one, so it’s not really a CIDU. So let’s just take a minute to admire the artistry here. Such draughtsmanship! That ice-cliff shows us both distance and height, even while a whole surface is devoid of detail.
For Mothers Day, a bit of both-parental sentiment from Bliss:
Probably obvious, but for the record, it is Susan (the character shown) herself who is trying to give up caffeine.
The Hax advice column this accompanies is here.
TBH, I don’t entirely understand this. I mean, I understand the heartwarming message about group loyalty and generosity — but not whether there was actually supposed to be anything funny.
Wait, could this be heading for an idiom-origins story about “bought the farm”? No? Nah!
Scammers certainly are getting more creative. I got a “reimbursement” from my Jane Doe, the condo property manager, with the email Jane.Doe@propfirm.com, which was suspiciously close to her actual email of Jane.Doe@propfirm.net, and this is a person I occasionally get reimbursements from (luckily as old-school physical checks)
From Dan Piraro’s subscription newsletter, “The Naked Cartoonist“. I’ll conclude with an early collaboration with Wayno; a Bizarro cartoon about red flags in relationships. If only they were this obvious in real life!
There are a number of reasons (and ways) that May Day is celebrated around the world, as these comics demonstrate:
Of course, the “real” reason for the holiday is its significance for the labor movement, but that is precisely why it has a somewhat tarnished reputation in the United States…
… especially because of certain militaristic “celebrations” in other parts of the world:
Therefore, since today is not a holiday in the United States, it may be necessary to postpone the celebration:
