Sunday Funnies – LOLs, April 2nd, 2023

Now that Word Press has adjusted to occasional WEBP format images (and most of our browsers), we face a new challenge: AVIF files. Just in case it doesn’t show properly, I will follow it with a PNG conversion. But here’s hoping the AVIF will work in its given form and in future we needn’t bother producing conversions.

It’s the Final Four in college basketball, and the start of baseball season, so get ready for vicarious excitement!

But is there a Conservation of Vicarious Excitement?

Fact checking: Recent historical opinion tends to exculpate the bovine in question!

And as a gesture of public service, here is a corrected image for those who encountered it horizontal:

Enter nominees for sadder words in the comments (no politics or religion, please)

Since we have a Skink among our regulars, here’s a Far Side on that species subject:

It’s rigged!

For lack of a banked CIDU for use as daily standalone, let’s have a really excellent OY!

From Philip:

Standard spelling dispute: Oh wait, can I use the regular word without it being a spoiler? Yeah, sure …. So, why do dictionaries insist on rigmarole as the standard spelling (with pronunciation IPA / ˈrɪg məˌroʊl / respelling [ rig-muh-rohl ] ), and relegate to “variant” the spelling rigamarole (with pronunciation / (ˈrɪɡəməˌrəʊl) / )? That’s how I say it, and evidently Blazek as well.

A case of breaking the third wall?

Maybe this is a bit of a CIDU — I understand how her laptop might need an OS update, or even her nails, but what’s up with the metaphors?

“Pin code”

How many of these would you call arguable?

Here’s a Quote Investigator link for “It got too crowded, nobody goes there anymore”.

Nerd alert

Lucky for me, I figured out that I don’t have to lick my cats, I can just lick my thumbs then wipe across their faces.

But then again, some do tongue-bathe:

Here’s a bit more Bliss, with likely the same characters in a different setting.

Here are two from dollarbill (and a third one we happened upon) with the 4th-wall or meta- theme of characters knowing they’re living in a cartoon. He mentions he has been “wading through J. C Duffy‘s humongous almost daily blog posting of comic/photos/short musings beside them sometimes,” which go back years. “Fusco Brothers is just one of his outputs.  The number of fly-in-the-soup  variations is staggering.” CIDU has sometimes featured Duffy’s Lug Nuts, somehow strikingly different in graphics appearance yet very recognizably his work.

Does this make you feel like Dark Side of the Horse is by now influencing successor generations?

Although most cats manage without mechanical mousetraps.

Superbowl Sunday

Hmm, a little more acidic than we usually expect from Bliss.

An eminently reasonable request! (And Andertoons seems to have taken on a larger format.)

Yeah, one of the jokes is just too old — but the comeback is new to me, and pretty good!

A measured response to conflict won’t make the movies.

Here’s hoping all our CIDU readers are in good health, or will be soon.
