I mean, I guess that’s God, but it could just as well be Santa…or one of the guys from ZZ Top?!
Is that you, God? It’s me, confused

Here’s one kind of meta idea taken to a logical conclusion.
This one I wanted to make a daily standalone CIDU, but couldn’t really justify that.
OK, it’s a general picture of some sort of “bad boyfriend behavior”, but what exactly is he saying, to get rid of who or what? (Secondarily, since the absent partner here is a stand-in for the cartoonist, she might well be taking a share of blame for so often provoking exasperation.)
But then again, here they are together for some creative brainstorming!
Oh and BTW, for others who follow this strip, does this mean he is part of the spinoff “Side Gig” business that she and her pal from work are planning to quit their jobs to go launch? Or I guess he’s just being supportive about it…
A piquant FA
And didn’t we recently see a “CTRL-Z” comic?

Well we’re all familiar with that pun (sez Mitch), but not usually from this perspective, nor presented so starkly.
When I (zbicyclist) saw this on social media, I thought it was probably altered. I don’t think of Charles Schulz using a lot of groaner puns. But it’s legit: it appeared February 9, 1982, as I found out using the Peanuts search engine, https://peanuts-search.com/?q=bush%20pilot
How nice, when you can know just what’s coming, but the joke works fine anyhow!
Rx for Love?
Boise Ed sends this one in. Prescription?
How did we even get here?
Okay, I only read Rae sporadically, and could not list many characters for you. But this still leaves a whole lot that cannot be explained without spending a few years in immersion learning of anime. What the after-all is going on, anybody!
In case it you think it would help to consult other recent Sunday “Echidna-Lad!!” episodes, here are a couple:

Well then

No idea what it’s about.
Why are the wells slightly different colors? What is the significance?? And look who what is where???
And then look what came along a couple of days later!
So smooth
Suggested by a reader who noticed something immediately after pressing Send on our handy-dandy Suggest-A-Cidu form, and thereupon wanted to retract! But we didn’t think that spelling solves all the mystery in this panel! What is that pet, how did it happen, are there more like it ..?
Seegars?
Unca $crooge sends this one in, noting “This seems like two different conversations but maybe there is a connection that I don’t get.”
The Dinette Set is in reruns, so this could refer to some current event we’ve forgotten, although this comic didn’t tend to refer to current events.

That’s another fine meta you’ve got us into!
For a comic strip not generally* done in “realistic style”, this shows a lot of detail to convincingly set the scene!
[*] Though they occasionally go hyper-realistic by using a photo panel!
Suggested by Dirk the Daring, who notes “Me thinks David Sipress has never left the city. The cow and pig in the background aren’t too bad, but up front we seem to have a cow with pig nose and maybe a pig with a cow tail. Or maybe not.
The gag itself is pretty good though.”
As a commenter at GoComics hints, that Mr. Wilson better not be Dennis Mitchell’s neighbor!
Yes, this was a Sunday strip.
