Bonus: Valentine’s Arlo Award

I find it hard to believe that any newspaper editor would have let Get Fuzzy strip this appear in print, even if the relevant expression is a little bit dated:

…
The last dialog bubble in the fourth panel is closer to overkill than actually necessary, but it certainly makes it clear that the joke in the third panel was intentional.

This Yuval Robichek comic was submitted as a “choice half-Arlo”, but in Bill’s day it would never have appeared on the primary CIDU site: he would have banned it to his separate “Arlo” page. (But since it is a web comic, it wouldn’t qualify for an Arlo “award”.)

Happy Valentine’s Day

Danny Boy sends this in.

JMcAndrew sends these two in. “Not only does this comic end with a rabbit about to hook up with a shoe but it also manages to slip in a joke about the title character from the movie “Babe”in a relationship with “Oscar Mayer””

“There’s also this one suggesting a relationship between Madonna and Sandra Bernhard and OJ Simpson with Lorena Bobbitt”

Making an Impression

Usual John submitted this Lockhorns comic as a CIDU, asking: “Why would you get a “W” imprint from charging the net? Also, is there some significance to the doctor’s name, ‘H. Blog’ ?“

…
The word “charging” probably was supposed to mean that Leroy hit something that left an impression, but just like Usual John, I cannot think of anything on a basketball court (let alone a net) that would produce such a mark. In addition, even if there were something that would have done so, the image of the “W” (from the Wilson logo) should have been reflected:

…
P.S. I also wonder whether there was a particular reason that the authors chose “Wilson” (instead of “Adidas”, “Nike”, or “Puma”).

Comments may be fixed

I tinkered with settings. Disabling “Enable blocks in comments” allows me to comment again. I did have to do a hard refresh (<cntrl><F5> in most browsers), so if it still doesn’t work for you, try that.

Hoping to see a comment from someone soon so I’ll know it’s working!

Adding a quote so we can see the styling both in post and in comments.

Sunday Funnies, LOLs: Superbowl Sunday, February 9, 2025

And so it begins: this is the first Charlie Brown missing the football gag from Peanuts. Here it’s not Lucy, but Violet, November 14, 1951.

The first one with Lucy is a year later, November 16, 1952.

This one gets a geezer tag. The Heidi game was in 1968, 56 years before Jimmy Johnson drew this comic!
