Practice!

This really isn’t a CIDU, of course, but it’s a callback to the old joke, “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” “Practice!”

Long, long ago–probably 1990 or earlier–I was at a gas station in Stewart, NY, filling a rental car before returning it. A civilian Jeep with two young, buff dudes pulled up and the one guy yelled, “Hey, buddy, do you know how to get to West Point?”

I briefly considered telling him, “Join the Army!” but then realized that there were decent odds that that would result in someone finding my body behind the building, so just told him “I’m afraid not, I’m not a local.”

Would have been funny, though!

Comics I Haven’t Seen: TBD

When I posted one of these as an LOL, I noticed there were no previous tags of this comic, and the archive on Comics Kingdom only goes back to December, 2024. So, all new to me, at least. Here’s the blurb on the Comics Kingdom site:

“TBD (Toons by Dan) is a curated collection of single-panel cartoons by award-winning cartoonist Dan Misdea. Featuring some of his best, worst, and weirdest ideas, this series includes never-before-seen cartoons, once rejected by The New Yorker and beyond. Now, they’ve been reimagined and redrawn in a familiar, timeless format for your enjoyment. “

Out of Warranty

Tomorrow is our 50th wedding anniversary, so indulge your editor.

I clipped this cartoon out of The New Yorker many years ago, and it hung in my home office. I recommend it as good marital advice.

From The New Yorker in December, 1975, back when a stack of back print issues of that magazine sat in the corner of our apartment. Just a bit of a CIDU.
