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!

The Sound of Synchronous Silence

Darren submitted this same-day pair, commenting: “Two separate one-panels with a riff on mimes and the right to remain silent.” — they just don’t come more synchronous than this!

…
Darren added: “Although in the Loose Parts [on the left], I’m wondering what made him give in. Has the mime just been standing in one spot for over a week or something?“
