Dirk the Daring wonders about this one: “This makes no sense. If he is paid by the hour he’d take his time and dawdle. Maybe I’m missing something, it seems back-assward to me.”
Kedamono sends this in as an “Ewww”: “I mean, YouTube videos on potty training? Yikes! Also, isn’t he a bit too young to have his own phone?”
This one may be a Momentary CIDU:

Happy Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer!
Most schools no longer start the day after Labor Day. Something that used to be true, but isn’t any longer:
Mitch4 sends this in: “Well, the caption “Goldilocks and the Three Musketeers” is explicitly given. But not printed out for us, left for us to figure out, is that their hair fits her established pattern of “Too much, too little, just right”.”

Christian sends in this comic, which is a new one for me. “Y’all need submissions… and I like visiting, so here’s a webcomic that I frequently enjoy even when I have little clue as to what any of it is about…. and the paragraphs of commentary that accompany each comic often don’t help… not because the jokes are flawed (although sometimes they are … and sometimes on purpose…?) … but because these comics are usually about video game culture/industry/playing… and the last time I was able to be not awful at a video game was when the controls were up, down, let, right, shoot.”
This one is a vocabulary lesson.
“Friendslop is a slang word, used to describe a subgenre of cooperative indie games oriented around a low barrier of entry and social interaction, emphasizing gameplay in social groups … Common elements of friendslop games include a low entry difficulty, frequently described in relation to Bushnell’s Law, that allows people of any gaming skill to participate, and a focus on social interaction. Usually these games will feature a team working towards a common goal, such as climbing a mountain in Peak“ (Wikipedia)
When I saw this comic from Dan Collins, I was immediately reminded of Don Martin.
(I’ve blacked out a word in the comic, because Collins is making a political point, and we want to keep CIDU a politics-free zone.)
That’s different than Collins’ normal style, e.g.
It does provide an excuse to remember (fondly) the great Mad Magazine cartoonist Don Martin (1931-2000) whose cartoons were a regular delight in Mad from 1956 to 1988.

Yes, a nap sounds good right about now.
