Is this just a comic channeling the “cats just sit there” meme, or is there more to it?

Posting the author’s Facebook post with his cartoon, just to show if you don’t get it, you’re not alone.

Phred sends this one in: “I cannot figure out why their office break is at a African water hole…”






Boise Ed sends this one in: “First, Dennis has always liked Gina (as opposed to Margaret), so why would he go to great lengths to avoid serving her? Also, if he’s out of product, why would he and the empty pitcher still be sitting there?”







We haven’t actually seen a star fall in since we invented telescopes, but I have a list of ones I’m really hoping are next.
The opposite of gravity is levity, so of course it’s okay to laugh at black holes.
Is it possible cartoonist Randal Monroe has been watching Philomena Cunk’s mockumentaries?



Boise Ed sends this in: “The comic itself is okay (or would have been, 48 years ago), but I laughed out loud at the squirrel’s quip.”



“Auntie Em” seems like a Wizard of Oz reference, but beyond that I’m stumped.

(OK, that’s not really the right title but)
Another from JMcAndrew:
Why is he scratching himself with his foot? Is the joke supposed to be that his wife is feeding him dog meat and he’s mimicking dog behavior?

I dunno either. But it does make me think of the classic joke:
I was at the grocery store checkout buying a large bag of dog biscuits and a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. I was feeling a bit crabby, so I told her no, I was starting The Dog Biscuit Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn’t, because although last time I lost 50 pounds, I ended up in the hospital in intensive care.
Her eyes about popped out of her head. I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was totally buying it. I told her that it was an easy, inexpensive diet and that they’re nutritionally complete: the way it works is to load your pockets or purse with biscuits and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry.
Finally she asked if something in the dog food had poisoned me and was that why I ended up in the hospital. I calmly said no…I was sitting in the street licking myself when a car hit me.
