Sagittarius

  • CIDU
  • Back to B.C., Johnny Hart
  • 10 Comments

Boise Ed sends this in: “Total CIDU here. The only word here that makes any sense to me is “three.” What does “Sagittarius” have to do with anything? Or “jackass”? I see nothing astrological, astronomical, or rude.”

Plagiarism

  • CIDU
  • Cornered, Mike Baldwin
  • 11 Comments

But he’ll be issued a citation. And if there’s a citation, it wouldn’t be plagiarism. Right?

Profit

  • CIDU
  • 9 to 5, Harley Schwadron
  • 6 Comments

What’s confusing to me is that (1) I see ads for stuff like this all the time, and (2) there actually were people who made a lot of profit in the global financial troubles in 2008 (as written up by Michael Lewis in The Big Short). So I don’t see a joke here. Is there one?

Mitch4 provides a translation: “The bit of dialogue would mean ‘I was an IBM 700 in a past life’.”


Dirk the Daring sends in this one, appropriate for CIDU:

Quasi-fail

  • CIDU not-quite
  • Argyle Sweater, Scott Hilburn
  • 10 Comments

This was a complete CIDU for me until I read the comments on the web:

I’ll let the hive-mind see what y’all think. No cheating! (But it’s at https://www.gocomics.com/theargylesweater/2025/07/27 to save you the trouble if, like me, you give up.)
