It doesn’t quite fit into the “moon is made of green cheese” idea, because of the reference to personal experience.
The moon being made of green cheese probably deserves a geezer alert >50 years past the US moon landings, but a day later here it is again, in a non-CIDU.
Where did the green cheese idea even come from? The old theory that birds migrated to the moon made some sense centuries ago, but green cheese?
Noah’s Ark. Two bigfoots (bigfeet?).

…and that’s about it. Thanks to Dirk the Daring for sending.
P.S. Why is the soccer ball shaped like a rugby ball?
It’s a bit gruesome to contemplate just how her face has been involved in those ship launches!
P.S. Don’t forget the milli-Helen, a unit of facial beauty capable of launching one ship.
This joke is wheely tiresome.
Here’s our Oy-Ewwwww!
Kilby sent in this double puzzler:
“When I wrote Leigh Rubin to point out that one of the three checkers should already have been doubled to form a ‘king’, he mentioned that he had submitted the comic to the syndicate with a caption, but that this caption never made it to the published version.”
Submit a caption that might fit this cartoon.
Assuming the pieces can move (and capture) only according to their own “rules”, which side would win the endgame shown in the comic?
The knight, as white, should have the first move. In checkers, red goes second. Now, if we assume the knight is at a1, then the checker at c1 should have been made a king. So, we need to assume that the knight is at h8, and the red checkers have to start by moving away down the board.
OR, you can assume the red checker has just gotten to c1, and is being crowned as we speak; this puts the knight at a1.
The history of these games can also be discussed in the comments.
By the way, I’m on chess.com as zbicyclist; anyone like a game?
Thanks for this to Andréa:
She points out it could be both of the animals, or simply the cartoonist, who aren’t aware the dog *is* a “gourmand”, by the standard way that is distinguished from “gourmet”.
P.S. After we already had this post scheduled, the Comic Strip of the Day site included this cartoon, and had an extended discussion of “gourmet”, “gourmand”, and some related words.
Dirk the Daring notes “Even though I follow this strip, I can’t figure this one out. She’s preggers, he hold her up while he flies, but all those pillows? Some kind of protection? I don’t get it.”
Thanks to Phred for sending this in.
