Sunday Funnies – LOLs – August 9, 2026

Mitch4 sends this in, along with today’s important medical information: “I noted this because it was a misunderstanding I used to have. The point of the “turn your head” part of the hernia check is really just “so that you don’t cough on me!”. But I long thought it had something to do with some connection between the muscles and tendons in the neck and upper torso with the scrotum and waistline (potential hernia areas), so that the cough-test would work.


“And the cartoonist is here relying on that misunderstanding, or even worse, not only thinking that the turned head is an inherent part of the test, but here seeming to rely on the turned head *alone*, without the visceral grip.”

Sunday Funnies – LOLs – July 26, 2026

There’s limited continuity expected in a gag strip, particularly between Sunday and the rest of the week, but there’s an interesting contrast between the Sunday strip and the Monday strip here: (7/12 and 7/13)

Reminds me a bit of that meme where you are supposed to punctuate this sentence:

Woman without her man is nothing.

Are trust falls still a thing in workshops? I do remember one time when the person doing the catching was surprised when the person fell sooner than they anticipated, and they both hit the ground. Luckily, the damage was limited to bruises and future teasing.

My favorite are the historical markers that talk about towns that WERE there at one point, but there is no current sign of the town. Nothing to see here, folks!
