Sunday Funnies – LOLs, April 2nd, 2023

Now that Word Press has adjusted to occasional WEBP format images (and most of our browsers), we face a new challenge: AVIF files. Just in case it doesn’t show properly, I will follow it with a PNG conversion. But here’s hoping the AVIF will work in its given form and in future we needn’t bother producing conversions.

It’s the Final Four in college basketball, and the start of baseball season, so get ready for vicarious excitement!

But is there a Conservation of Vicarious Excitement?

Fact checking: Recent historical opinion tends to exculpate the bovine in question!

Wait, is this meant to be encouraging or completely defeatist?

Defeatist, that is, in that the only solution is to give up and do something else. *Not* “do some lateral thinking and that could help” . Or simply “why don ‘t you take a break, and get refreshed”?

But then again, it could be trying to get a little meta, with “the box” also meaning the borders of the cartoon strip panels. But projected back to the realism layer, that means … what? The cartoonist will yank you from your toils?

Saturday Morning OYs – March 25th, 2023

Almost a pun failure, as it is arguable the joke of her equivocation is already well-cemented in panel 3 and then the clues in panel 4 are just a waste. But probably it is also arguable that many a reader would miss the gag in panel 3 and there is a definite need for panel 4 …

And this dampens my hope of someday understanding what “fugue state” is or is not related to.

Yes, it’s the same David Mamet better known as a playwright.
