Saturday Morning Oys – March 26th, 2022
After inserting this one here, I later found it discussed on Arnold Zwicky’s Blog, in his usual exemplary detail and scholarship.
Oh, he got us! It turned out not to be an oy about “Youth In Asia”!
Here’s an Ewww-Oy for sure:

Thanks to Andréa for this MythTickle:
Sorry, I spaced out for a minute
Sent by BillR, who says “I know Scott Hilburn likes puns. A lot, in fact. But I don’t get this one.”
I don’t get it either. The GoComics comments do give a possible explanation, though IMO a rather feeble one — and not much like a pun.

Well, there’s a good OY on the left, and a good LOL on the right, and I’m feeling too lazy to get out the cropper, so let’s print it twice, once today, and once yesterday or tomorrow.

An OY-Ewww :
This semi-CIDU OY is from Boise Ed, who notes the apparent error that they are doing downhill skiing but the text is about cross-country. But why is it not actually in error? Hmm?

I just like this, more than I can defend.

I trust even the non-geezers will recognize “feghoot” as a term for a story that ends with an Oy as the punch. Is it a dig at PBS to point out it often uses feghoots?
Double dose of Loose Parts.

Let’s mark this Lard’s as a CIDU-Oy, inasmuch as it does a rather nice word-play joke, but may take a couple beats to figure out.
Not a perfect portmanteau but it’ll do, and we get to treat the cat fans. For those not into cats, you may not be aware that a vernacular name for this sort of tricolor marking is “calico cat”.
And not-a-perfect exemplar of “pun”, but this is certainly word-play!
