Boise Ed sends this in: “Today (Saturday) is the sixth straight day he’s used the exact same art. I’ve seen such re-use in other strips, but geez, six straight days?”

That one’s the start of the series. As I post this, I don’t know whether it continues further (or whether Brett has used this in past years).

In this comic from 1948, the joke is clear, but the term “somebody call the wagon” isn’t. What does wagon refer to?
A quick internet search isn’t much help: “In Irish slang, the term “wagon” is commonly used to refer to an individual, typically a woman, who is perceived as being overly flirtatious or promiscuous.”

By definition, it’s no surprise when someone orders their usual, but what’s the joke?

In the words of Chico Marx: Why a duck?
Boise Ed sends this in: “Some commenters feel that the little rectangular solid is supposed to represent a hay bale. From panel 2, I infer that its name is “going.” At this point, I’m totally lost.”

Fall equinox tomorrow, September 22.



Dirk the Daring sends this in: “Not a CIDU, but this can’t possibly be a coincidence, right? I’d guess Mr. Pett is knowledgeable about music. At least one commenter besides me noticed it.”



Not every day is an exciting day, even if you are a superhero.

Markus sends this in this puzzler from SMBC:

“The hovertext is:
“Friend of Wigner is actually private slang in physics, which means ‘willing to talk about Quantum Foundations'””
“The extra panel does not really help, either:”

“So, I summon the mighty Oracle (i.e. the CIDU readership) to instill some sense in this comic.”
