Sunday Funnies – LOLs – September 6, 2026

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”.”

The Trolley Problem continues to give humor:

“Luckily, the A.I. trolley will decide who to kill all on its own.”

Boise Ed notes: “Okay, so the deer isn’t going to be doing the driving, but it still made me laugh.”

Penny Arcade (bad language warning)

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)

Remembering Don Martin

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.
