I didn’t know the poem or what poet it was (until seeing the credits at the end)
Bonus post – illustrated poem (not a CIDU)

Okay, it’s Resolutions…
“This year we’ll turn it around” counts as a resolution in my book!
Maybe IDU that one?
Nancy: still looking for loopholes after all these years (and cartoonists!)

H.T. Webster drew this in 1923.
Kilby sent it to me a few hours ago, in May of 2020, asking me to queue it up for three years in the future.
So greetings from Month Three of the Coronavirus Lockdown. I hope everybody made it through okay to the other side.

Navigating through 2023 might be problematic – no bull!
Are we post-pandemic? Still in the pandemic? In a tripledemic (covid, flu, RSV)?

OK, let’s hear the pros and cons for whether it’s better with put the garbage out or would be improved with put out the garbage.
A sausage party?
Fortunes told here!
(not a CIDU) Today we’ll try something different. In the comments, describe a particularly memorable fortune you received, and a bit of any backstory
— OR —
A fortune that would be particularly appropriate for a particular person / group. Give both the person and the fortune. BUT – NO PRESIDENTS OR EX-PRESIDENTS!
I’ll start: I was at my birthday dinner with my wife and two teenaged daughters. The fortune: “All is not yet lost”, which teenagers found hilarious when applied to their aging father. The phrase still turns up: “Remember, Dad, All is not YET lost”.

Shared by a CIDU reader:
More of an OY than a LOL perhaps, but who is counting?
Wrong Hands labels this with “redux” so we are not abashed about rerunning it here.

Andréa sends in these. Good to see the Ministry of Silly Walks getting into the holiday spirit.
A perpetual favorite mixup:
… and what did we just say?
More Bizarro.
Here’s one for the “not a classic pun, but generalized language play” … also it’s time to acknowledge the “dad jokes” category in pop culture.
Happy Chanukah [2022 repost]

Happy Chanukah, if you’re celebrating. (The comics aren’t here as Ewwwws, they’re just fun Chanukah comics.)
Sunday Funnies – LOLs, December 18, 2022
From Ooten Aboot, with an illuminating commentary:
In 1874, a similar culture clash happened in real life when Montreal’s McGill University challenged Harvard to a two game “football” match. To McGill, “football” meant Rugby, while Harvard followed “Boston Rules”, a version of Soccer with limited catching and carrying of a spherical ball. The solution was to play one game under each set of rules. Harvard won the “Boston” game, while the Rugby result was a 0-0 tie. Nevertheless, Harvard apparently liked the McGill style and adopted similar rules, so that encounter with McGill may have been the origin of American Football as it known today.
