The comics and the subject line were submitted by Kilby.

The second one (Rhymes With Orange) is also a CIDU. And its first panel might deserve an Ewww tag.

I read this just as the sky was lighting up for about the tenth time over the past thirty seconds. I’ve hardly ever seen this sort of wrath-of-God weather.

Followed a couple of minutes later by my phone lighting up with TORNADO WARNING! TAKE SHELTER NOW!

argyle chicken

B.A.: I saw this last night (is there a joke here I’m missing? The “bucket” pun seems more like something that would be in a KFC commercial — sans the fat guys, probably).
