Not really an OY, not really LOL, and not a synchronicity, but this week evil squirrels have had their day in the comics.
One of my neighbors feeds the squirrels, and will come out and chase hawks away to protect her precious squirrels — at the same time I’d hired an animal control firm to get rid of the ones that have found their way into the condo’s attic. Cute or vermin? As the realtors say, “Location, Location, Location”.
JMcAndrew sends these in: “Loni Anderson has sadly passed away. Here are a couple comics in her honor.”
Mitch4 provides a translation: “The bit of dialogue would mean ‘I was an IBM 700 in a past life’.”
Dirk the Daring sends in this one, appropriate for CIDU:
Their TV series is “As the World Churns”
Today is William Clark’s birthday.
“They say it’s probably safe to keep orbiting for a while, but if it stays on or starts flashing we might have to call someone.”
Boise Ed sends this in: “I can’t recall ever seeing so clever a use of the fourth wall.”
JMcAndrew sends this in: “I’m assuming Curtis is watching the 1977 schlock horror film “The Incredible Melting Man” which might be the most obscure geezer movie I’ve ever seen referenced in a newspaper comic strip.”
Perhaps some relative of cartoonist Ray Billingsley was in this movie. Billingsley was born in 1957, so he would have been 20 when this was made.
You can put some cash in the bucket, or just charge it.
So, this is what became of Madge!
A LOL, with some Eww elements and maybe a bit of a CIDU:
A few days ago, your editor, riding his bike in a bike lane, was right hooked. Both my bicycle and his car had the green light; I’m going straight and his car came up from behind and turned right; luckily I only made contact with the side of his car and was unhurt except for some bruising when I hit the street. The driver said he saw me, but assumed I would stop at the green light because the pedestrian signal said “wait”! My adrenalin was already going wild from the accident and this statement failed to calm me down.
But that’s not the punchline here. While we were waiting for the police, I noticed his car had a temporary license plate. I asked it if was a new car. It was; his previous car had been totaled because he’d been in a t-bone accident the week before.
