Let’s assume none of this crowd needs help with the allusion here!
Oh my, a sad-LOL from the Moon.
Well well, so the “Wake up and take your sleeping pill!” joke goes back a hundred years.
I suppose this does turn on word play, but it’s a LOL just as easily, and this list is maybe a touch short. (And ngl, I read it on Saturday evening so too late for today’s OYs and next week’s list isn’t set up yet.)
Here’s a funny pun from Boise Ed:
The dancer’s foot-across move in the last panel seems like just the right punctuation to signal a punch line, much like a rim shot. (Have there been tap-dancing stand-up-comedy acts?)
Picked this one up from Arnold Zwicky’s blog, where there is a full description and analysis.
And I just was watching Beanie Feldstein.
From Le Vieux Lapin:
And still from Le Vieux Lapin, and for that matter still about bees:
Le Vieux Lapin still on a roll!
An Ewww-LOL from Reality Check:
Somewhat imperfect, okay, but I do like the idea of the Knicks setting up a patsy opponents team, or a practice team, known as the Knacks.
No, we’re not going to call this a synchronicity — there’s nothing surprising about seeing two Thanksgiving cartoons on Thanksgiving. But seeing both taking on the idea of special diets and restrictions is a nice pairing.
(I’m tagging The New Yorker though not sure that’s where the Roz Chast appeared.)
She didn’t save a place for the dog!
This one from Le Vieux Lapin:
This Frog Applause is maybe a semi-Arlo and a LOL, but not at all cryptic.
Mr. Snail bought a snazzy sports car, and he ordered some detailing: a big “S” on the sides. When asked why, he explained he wanted all the people on the streets to notice him in the car and say: _________________________ YOUR QUIZ IS TO FILL IN THE BLANK!
Return of the repressed? Yep, Argyle Sweater always has a pun in store! This one sent by Le Vieux Lapin, and it delivers a double shot of Oy!
Perhaps slightly technical jargon, but not unfamiliar.
Not precisely a CIDU, but raises the question, Are these linked by anything besides alluding to Houdini?
And another Bliss. This maybe should have counted as a CIDU, if there’s much doubt what his special message would be …
Yet Another Ewww-LOL from Kliban:
Nice twist, maybe LOL-worthy? It takes the over-familiar observational-humor point “fitted sheets are hard to handle” but adds a factor which is gonna interfere with anything at all he tries to do.
I guess the premise is mostly “analogy”.
They just don’t quit with the puns over at Mannequin on the Moon!
Is it a Geezer factoid to remember the term for this particular form of standing arm-wrestling?
(Far Side handled as link only, not copied nor embedded.)
Is a Spoonerism necessarily a pun? Maybe not, but it can still be an Oy!
