From Brian in STL:


A choreography that some of us are very familiar with! But what is that remark at the end?
… looking for CIDUs from *you*.

The “pointillism” is a nice joke. But is it the joke for the whole thing?
Oh wait, I started to ask about “punch line” but then connected that phrase to the boxing gloves and the guy knocked to the floor … could the punch be the punch line?? Nah.
So what is this about?
P.S, Bonus identification quiz! “Twenty-one decisions in a row, and only five on points, the rest was all K.O. Jackson and Johnson, Murphy and Bronson, one by one they come and one by one to Dreamland they go!”

Mr. Snail bought a snazzy sports car, and he ordered some detailing: a big “S” on the sides. When asked why, he explained he wanted all the people on the streets to notice him in the car and say: _________________________ YOUR QUIZ IS TO FILL IN THE BLANK!
Return of the repressed? Yep, Argyle Sweater always has a pun in store! This one sent by Le Vieux Lapin, and it delivers a double shot of Oy!





Perhaps slightly technical jargon, but not unfamiliar.

Not precisely a CIDU, but raises the question, Are these linked by anything besides alluding to Houdini?




We’ve had a couple other Ancestry.com panels from Argyle Sweater recently (do you remember “dachsund”?), but I think they landed in LOL or OY collections, as they did not present major interpretative difficulties. This one, however, has us stumped!
Suggested by BillR. After some pondering we think we have most of an explanation – but it wasn’t something you can just crank out.


And another Bliss. This maybe should have counted as a CIDU, if there’s much doubt what his special message would be …


Yet Another Ewww-LOL from Kliban:




Nice twist, maybe LOL-worthy? It takes the over-familiar observational-humor point “fitted sheets are hard to handle” but adds a factor which is gonna interfere with anything at all he tries to do.


I guess the premise is mostly “analogy”.
