Interesting than panel 2 is overlaid over the right side of panel 1, rather than being separate. (Well, maybe not THAT interesting.)
Mitch4 sends this in: “LOL plus some nice word play, but not the sort to make it an OY.
I don’t know if it’s a feature or bug that the reader needs to insert “and” various places in each line to get the limerick scansion.”
Mitch4 sends these two in:
It’s in my building’s dumpster now, but once this meant the world to someone.
Mitch4 sends this in:
Pavlov? Pavlov? Do I know a Pavlov? That name rings a bell.
The artist looks like “Curnow”, but I can’t tell for sure.

Mitch4 sends in this “classic pun form”.
Mark H. sends this in: “I think he meant Achilles tendon. I don’t think “Achilles heel” is a medical term…”
JMcAndrew sends this in: “I think Dennis is only supposed to be at the most 5 or 6 years old. He seems kind of young to be having sex talk with, also what did his father say to him that confused him like this?”
This Rabbits Against Magic strip looked like a simple OY at first, but now I’m puzzled:
…
How does “tre” count as a pun on “trace“?
This Rhymes with Orange is an OY-Ewww:
Jack Applin submitted this Andertoons as a CIDU, asking “Is the one-eyed robot unable to see the traffic lights? [OR] Is is programmed to ignore them, giving an advantage to “driverless” cars?“
…
Mark Anderson’s original title for his comic #9221 reveals that Jack’s first question was right on the money: The gag is a reference to one of the most common anti-robot user verification tests, typically presented by the reCAPTCHA interface:
Later that same month (in 1967):
The punchline is in panel 5, but for many of us it would be a CIDU. The authors conveniently use panel 6 to make the joke clearer.

Kilby comments: This Macanudo isn’t really “laugh out loud” funny (it’s closer to an “Awww”), but I found the diagonal framing (and the “lensing” effect in the title panel) so impressive that wanted to share it with everyone:
…
The strip is even better if you open the image in a new tab (or window), and let it fill the screen.
P.S. As long as we are reminiscing about summer, here’s how Calvin & Hobbes spent a similar day (three decades ago):
…
P.S. The fact that Bil Keane drew a few of his own “grown up children” strips doesn’t make that Ink Pen any less funny.
Danny Boy was kind enough to send in these LOLs.
Nancy Classics this week gave us this comic from 1955. Half dollars almost call for a geezer alert. Relatively few of them are still made in the U.S.
Dollar coins are no longer minted after multiple failures to gain acceptance (Susan B. Anthony, Sakagawea, U.S. Presidents). The U.S. Mint does produce some American Innovation Dollars, but these are not intended for circulation and are sold at a premium.
From 2001-2020, the U.S. Mint produced half dollars only for collectors because the Federal Reserve already had plenty, but limited production has now resumed.
In 2023, the United States Mint produced a total of 11.38 billion coins for circulation. Here’s the breakdown by denomination:
