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.)
Some random retro LOLs
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!

Thanks to Steve S. This is paradigmatic LOL+Ewww!
In the U.S., the deadline for filing income tax is rapidly approaching.
Yes, this was another of those blasted .avif’s!
Even worse than the cartoon-biology here, if you ask me, is the crazy personal dynamic.
Thanks to Mark M for suggesting this Far Side. Can we answer his question about what dialogue or caption or drawn element could go where the bystander’s hand is blocking it out, to make this one of the funniest cartoons ever.

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:

Lennon-McCartney Belt
Some of these you can see just why ; others it’s unclear but still a chuckle ; and others just opaque.

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.
