Thanks to Maggiethecartoonist for this GibbleGuts:
And Maggiethecartoonist also provides these two more Garfield entries — with brief comments for each!
“Farms must be fun.”
‘I cleaned out all the comic folders, and my computer still looks like a meatball!’
Some retro F-Minus, just for fun
… at Alice’s Restaurant!
And while we’re at it, another Reply All:
And this was a winning week for Andertoons!
This Lug Nuts is pretty funny, but leaves a mystery. Hence LOL-CIDU.
Thanks to maggiethecartoonist, who says “Always remember pants”.
Obligatory pedantic note: I still don’t like to see “invite” as a noun in place of “invitation”!
Betty’s son asks a question, and sure enough farther down my GoComics feed, I find the answer in Big Nate: First Class!
We almost put this Other Coast in tomorrow’s Mothers’ Day collection.
This one probably was the basis for the “word play in general” category.
Sent in by >>Boy-see Ed<<, who says “This one suits me to a tea”.

And a counterpoise of business meeting strategy, and who gets to speak up, from 9-to-5:
Do any disguised superheroes actually do this?
Thanks to Usual John for this one!
Rather tough talk from a therapist! (But this client seems to deserve it.)
This next one depends on remembering when Lars von Trier and friends declared the Dogme 95 principles for filmmaking. (And probably does not require remembering the Kevin Smith film Dogma.)
With this December 2011 Brevity, we’re getting a bit into OYs.
And we interrupt our parade of Oldies to drop in a Duffy Lug Nuts on the same theme from current GoComics publication:
Maybe 2008, but still not an early adopter.
Last week — 4th wall needed for a watching-the-news story. (It’s just the date formatting that makes this look like a panel from the future.)
The joke is somewhat spoiled (or at least delayed) by the way the sightlines are drawn. But it emerges that what sound like rules for a tweenage girl being left home alone are being directed to Baby Bear (the dog); who isn’t agreeing to them.
(And yes, still downloads from WaPo as .AVIF and needs pre-converting.)
And this Wondermark is not really much of a LOL, but it does provide a chuckle, and prompts me to remember encountering another sense of “Bridge club” in some novels of British India (probably Paul Scott) — it was a party with several ethnic groups invited, and intended to bridge the cultural gaps.
Two comics from Ian with the common element of unpaid internships, which he notes “seem to be everywhere at the moment!”
And finally, an Ewww-LOL from BillR. It’s the “number 2” that clinches it!
