Sunday Funnies – LOLs, October 1st, 2023



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.


Here’s a chance

Tom the Dancing Bug 1654 sfpc163 literary history

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.

The ghost of club books unread

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.
