Because of his heritage, I assume that Liniers knows more about Picasso than I do. I just don’t have the knowledge of his paintings to know what Liniers intended here.
Art I Don’t Understand (AIDU)
Clean up this joke
Usual John sent this in, noting “Attic cleaning month? It looks like five minutes to sweep away the cobwebs and he’s done. What in the world is the Wizard talking about?”
So, is this just poor execution, which would be cleared up by drawing more stuff in that attic (so it looks more like mine)? Or is there something specific about the objects up here, either the wheel or the box circled in red in the second picture?
Unherd of
There’s some pun lurking about herd/heard there, but what???
Club Pinhead?
No, doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Zippy.
To cite the Classic CIDU Question, what’s the joke?
One might think that Wayno’s blog would help, but his comments on this one were mostly about how he rearranged the panel version for the strip version.
M is for the Many
With considerable forethought, Chemgal sent this in when it appeared, last July!
There is a motherlode of Mothers Day cartoons from Foxtrot collected at their website, of which we will sample just a couple.
This first one was featured by Bill on CIDU in 2018:
This “Breakfast in Bedlam” strip seems to be from 2001:
MD gifts funded by allowance, a theme for Fox Trot, also features here in Calvin, 1989:
This resurfaced in this Saturday’s Counterpoint mailing, not where I’m used to seeing B&C.
Sunday Funnies on Saturday – LOLs and OYs , May 13th, 2023
Obligatory pedantic note: I still don’t like to see “invite” as a noun in place of “invitation”!
Betty’s son asks a question, and sure enough farther down my GoComics feed, I find the answer in Big Nate: First Class!
We almost put this Other Coast in tomorrow’s Mothers’ Day collection.
This one probably was the basis for the “word play in general” category.
Sent in by >>Boy-see Ed<<, who says “This one suits me to a tea”.
Some Retro Bizarro, just for fun

Yes, it’s re-enacting E.T. with different tech. What’s the joke?
Why did the chickens cross the room?
Thanks to Darren for suggesting this cartoon, which we might consider a CIDU or else an OY.
60 Years Ago in The New Yorker
This is from May, 1963. A year later, Khrushchev will be forced into retirement, so we did find out who would be so much worse to deal with after he was gone. Was he seen to be on the ropes then? Nina was Nikita’s second wife, although they didn’t marry until 1965.
Yes, CIDU discourages political discussions, but the statute of limitations on this one is likely past.
