Mitch4 sends this in: “I’m calling it LOL only because the question I have does not rise fully to CIDU, nor is it a 4th-Wall thing under any narrow definition.
It’s just this: Does she pronounce it as “chitterlings” or treat that as a fancy spelling for spoken “chitlins”?”

… and some non-CIDUs


The joke is clear, if hackneyed by now, but what would the kids tip? A 20% trick?
This execution of the same joke is a bit clearer, since it’s the kid asking for money.

Not so much a CIDU as “way too much work”. Post individual clue solutions in the comments. FYI, complete solution is here.


This one tripped me up, because I assumed a Pumpkin Spice Latte only had the spices used in pumpkin pie. This used to be true: introduced in 2003, Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte contained only the spices, and no pumpkin. That made sense. Who thinks steak sauce has steak in it? or shrimp sauce has shrimp in it? Or awlspice has an awl in it? But, in response to complaints, in 2015 they reformulated to add some pumpkin puree. That was really unnecessary, because a bit of pumpkin puree adds little taste. But this does mean Blazek’s joke actually works.
Not a CIDU, but definitely an Ewww.

Not a CIDU, either, but cute.

Pavlov? Pavlov? Do I know a Pavlov? That name rings a bell.

The artist looks like “Curnow”, but I can’t tell for sure.

This was a complete CIDU for me until I read the comments on the web:

I’ll let the hive-mind see what y’all think. No cheating! (But it’s at https://www.gocomics.com/theargylesweater/2025/07/27 to save you the trouble if, like me, you give up.)
