Labor-day-published gallery

These are just whatever was at least pretty good, was dated today, and was in some way about the Labor Day holiday or tradition. … A quick survey of which cartoons were willing to be about the holiday and which preferred to go on their own way.

Uh-oh! “Arlo” warning for younger and more sensitive viewers.

As many here will already know, these Nick G “comics” originate as illustrations accompanying the Washington Post advice column conducted by Carolyn Hax. The connection is sometimes close, and often sort of tangential. The column is behind a paywall, but for those interested here is a free “gift article link” to the August 23 column.

Here’s an LOL from Shoe that your editors didn’t take notice of until it was featured on The Comics Curmudgeon. Thanks, Josh / Uncle Lumpy!

Oh yes, I’ve seen ads for that phone, haven’t you?

Perhaps only a bit stranger than Janus, a star that has one side hydrogen, the other side helium https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/07/this-white-dwarf-star-has-two-faces/

A pretty nice Meta comic! I’ll look forward to seeing the color version, and checking what elements are red. Meanwhile, here is a red tee fitting for reference :

Well, here it is! Nope, nothing exciting to be learned …

(No language issues here, so we are not including the Spanish version.)

Here’s one kind of meta idea taken to a logical conclusion.

This one I wanted to make a daily standalone CIDU, but couldn’t really justify that.

OK, it’s a general picture of some sort of “bad boyfriend behavior”, but what exactly is he saying, to get rid of who or what? (Secondarily, since the absent partner here is a stand-in for the cartoonist, she might well be taking a share of blame for so often provoking exasperation.)

But then again, here they are together for some creative brainstorming!

Oh and BTW, for others who follow this strip, does this mean he is part of the spinoff “Side Gig” business that she and her pal from work are planning to quit their jobs to go launch? Or I guess he’s just being supportive about it…

A piquant FA

And didn’t we recently see a “CTRL-Z” comic?

That’s another fine meta you’ve got us into!

For a comic strip not generally* done in “realistic style”, this shows a lot of detail to convincingly set the scene!

[*] Though they occasionally go hyper-realistic by using a photo panel!

Suggested by Dirk the Daring, who notes “Me thinks David Sipress has never left the city.  The cow and pig in the background aren’t too bad, but up front we seem to have a cow with pig nose and maybe a pig with a cow tail.  Or maybe not.

The gag itself is pretty good though.”

As a commenter at GoComics hints, that Mr. Wilson better not be Dennis Mitchell’s neighbor!

Yes, this was a Sunday strip.
