Out of Warranty

Tomorrow is our 50th wedding anniversary, so indulge your editor.

I clipped this cartoon out of The New Yorker many years ago, and it hung in my home office. I recommend it as good marital advice.

From The New Yorker in December, 1975, back when a stack of back print issues of that magazine sat in the corner of our apartment. Just a bit of a CIDU.

Saturday Morning OYs – December 20, 2025

Boise Ed sends this in: “This strip takes place on a space station. Florence (on the left) is a canine who has been given human-level intelligence. Her human co-worker’s advice is so right!”

Mitch4 sends this in: “Not strictly speaking a pun, but based on verbal ambiguity and misunderstanding.”

One of the copyist errors in the New Testament?

Sunday Funnies – LOLs – December 14, 2025

Darren throws us a nice compliment: “I consider CIDU our humor professional!

I guess there is a minor question of the text. Best I can do is:
“And this is why you never ever invest in a platypus””

Did I post this before? I thought I had, but it was still in my “to be posted” folder, and I can’t find it in recent posts. If you saw it before, you’re now seeing it again!

Fourth Wall Fun

By one definition, “4th wall comic refers to a comic book where characters become aware of their own fictional existence and address the audience directly. This concept, known as the Fourth Wall, separates the characters from the readers, allowing them to comment on the narrative and its limitations.” By that definition, not all of these fit. In some of these, it’s that the cartoonist lets us acknowledge the cartoonist’s existence, while the characters remain unaware. Is there a separate term that should be used for that?
