From jmcandrew:
Is there a joke here other than this restaurant has chosen to display a single piece of pie in their window instead of an entire pie? Is it controversial for senior women to enjoy banana cream pie?

Jack Applin has a few questions about this one:
“McKenzie is making a makeup video narrated by her boyfriend.
1) Does she even have a boyfriend?
2) Why did the lipstick have no visible effect?
3) Where will she put the mascara? She has no eyelashes.
4) Did the boyfriend say something in the middle panel that made her sad in the last panel?
5) What the !@#$% is going on?”

JMcAndrew sends in this festival of snail comics. The same joke used by two cartoonists, or by one comic separated by time.


Glenn and Gary McCoy are responsible for these next three.







Also here are 2 LOL comics where the word escrow is being misheard as escargot.



Last May 24th was National Escargot Day. We should have posted these then, but we were slow to get around to it.

Chemgal sent this in as an OY, but we’d already posted it as a LOL. They’re probably right, but it was already here. :)

This reminds me of those ads for PCs in the 1980s, when the first CGA monitors became practical. The ads would proudly show a pie chart, illustrating that the monitor would display colors and could draw a nearly perfect circle. The humor of those ads for me is (1) how many users would ever make a pie chart, and (2) pie charts are seldom the best way to show data.






For those artists whose work deals primarily in mixed messages, this place seems ideal:




This Nick & Zuzu comic is nearly a year old, but I still don’t understand it.

Why would an unmarried male be more likely to get a highly decorated drink? Is the bartender gay? Or female? Or was the overdecorated drink intended for the wife, who refused to take it?
I thought this was a reference to Men Without Hats’ song, “Safety Dance”, but there’s no reference to a forest in that song’s lyrics. https://genius.com/Men-without-hats-the-safety-dance-lyrics

Be warned: that song is a bit of an earworm:
So, what cultural reference am I missing here?

Thanks to jmcandrew, who wonders, “Why canoes? Is it unusual that someone who did this sort of activity would own 4 canoes? Is this a reference to something else?“
Indeed. It appears Hat Guy has a canoe detector, and…what?
(For extra credit, explain what canoes have to do with oceans)
Celebrating Tuesday with two CIDUs today!
Jim A. sends in this one. “I just don’t get it.”

Dirk the Daring sends in this one: “I just don’t get it. Is he happy about the Eden thing and she’s not? This is actually what he expected? If so, it’s phrased oddly. It should be something like “Well, what did you expect from ‘Authentic apple-picking experience’”.
Or if it’s not what he expected, then “Well, this isn’t what I thought…”
