Somewhat slapdash Shakespeare but what the hey?

And here is the shocking exposé!

*“The following contains scenes of people not accepting what they cannot change. Viewer discretion is advised.”*

This time the cartoon should for sure be taken on its own, and doesn’t need the Hax column.

Did that help boost your amused system?

Thanks to Andréa, who lives in the sub-tropics.

Sunday Funnies for a new year! – LOLs, January 3rd, 2021

Is it too soon or too late for one more Santa LOL?

Bllss (and Martin) on their own and on GoComics

Bliss in the New Yorker:

We *did* crack a smile, even if not literally LOL. But no doubt this must be “a LOL comic” by virtue of subject matter!

From Andréa.

It seems to be aiming for “What has this modern world come to?” but in execution just seems kind of sweet.

See Wayno’s blog for notes on how these two versions came to be.

In this age of “Use your inside voice” it’s good to know where the range of voice options reaches.

A bit of a LOL-Eww:

When we first saw this, it was in the black-and-white version sent in the Bliss daily email, and our first thought was to look forward to the color version and see how the notorious Twitter “bluecheck” verified-user symbol would be rendered. Not blue, in the event.

And a bit of LOL-Cynical:

In case you didn’t know, the “Nick and Zuzu” comic panels run as accompaniment to an advice column by Carolyn Hax. Sometimes they really depend on the writing and are totally CIDU without it. Other times, the comic is quite independent of the column which sparked it; and that is the case here. And the cartoons appear elsewhere, where the column is not available or even mentioned, such as GoComics.

But in case you are interested: the Hax column which had this as its illustration was at this link, which has a paywall but should allow some free visits.

As with the first literary school of fish, there is no mystery about the point or the kind of joke, but we can exercise our memory and sense of Arizona’s 11th largest city by trying to pinpoint the writer in each case and the reason for the icon.
