It turns out that this isn’t a CIDU once you see the followup, but Kilby quite rightly flagged the first of the pair:

No, no way to sum up who these boys are and what their take is.
But what’s up with this band they have decided to follow, The Whom? It’s not a good fit as a parody on The Who. And the collection of covers isn’t doing a Wrong Hands number, either. But can you make out more than a collection of singleton jokes?

Tim Harrod sent:

Not one clue here
Who or what (and where, and why) are these birds and monsters and things?






A nice LOL-Ewww:

And then a nice LOL-Awwww:


And who doesn’t enjoy a good Alexa-Siri joke?


And an Ouch-LOL:

He meant to order an inflatable doll, but received an inflatable bed of nails.
P.S. A couple days later, this character and that prop re-appear; but decidedly not funny :-( .

BTW, Gocomics gives this feature filenames that look like loesp230927.jpg, clueing us that at some point they were considering it to be Life On Earth in Spanish. (The same artist does the Life on Earth comic.)

Again on the meta train.





How did that #$%%^^&* pup Ernie get in here? Does he think he’s a squirrel?


CIDU: Here’s a chance for some early-riser readers to explain for others the allusions to a certain (probably false!) famous Hemingway anecdote.
LOL: But also, all can just enjoy these (somewhat sour!) joke mini-strips.

Seen on social media, with the speculation that this probably came from gunshowcomic.com, a static archive site for k c green’s old work. Other sites with their work are given in the tags. Their current panel feature called “God’s Hands” runs on Comics Kingdom as well as webtoons.com.
This Crankshaft is from Usual John:

And he asks “Who is the creepy-looking old lady to the right? She just continues to stand wordlessly in the background over the next few days, as the book club fails to read Ulysses.”
As an incidental artistic problem, I wonder what the artist had in mind (or had as a model) in drawing the book and its cover. I can’t match it to any edition of Ulysses I can find discussed online. And that man pictured can’t plausibly be identified as Joyce, nor as either of the leading male characters, Bloom and Stephen.
