Interesting than panel 2 is overlaid over the right side of panel 1, rather than being separate. (Well, maybe not THAT interesting.)
Mitch4 sends this in: “LOL plus some nice word play, but not the sort to make it an OY.
I don’t know if it’s a feature or bug that the reader needs to insert “and” various places in each line to get the limerick scansion.”
Next up, “Eat It” by “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Jack Applin sends this in: “Why would Nancy find a get-well card in a novelty store? I would expect a novelty store to contain joy buzzers, exploding cigarettes, and the like. Has the meaning of “novelty” changed since the time of King Arthur, when this strip was first published?”
It’s not a CIDU, since the intended joke is clear. But I remember dime stores, 5 and 10 cent stores (vaguely), variety stores, but I’m not sure I ever saw a Novelty Store.

Mitch4 sends this in: “A pun that surprised me.”

Your editor had a total knee replacement on Monday, and has been using stool softeners of both types all week. (all is well now)
Some repeat comics from past Veterans Days, with a couple of additions. It’s a good day to remember.
This one Bill marked “UDIC Frazz Veterans Day” . It was posted as https://cidu.info/2018/11/09/udic/
These two we noticed on sequential days in Maria’s Day. Since that strip is on a reruns cycle at GoComics, the actual dates of the recent appearance were 31 August and 01 September, but apparently the original publication was on 10 and 11 November of some year.
Ben Bass commented upon seeing this comic: “As the resident New York Times cryptogram writer, I consider this aspirational.”
Asher Perlman urges you to create your own joke:

The squirrel gets a good OY line.
