Independence Day

It’s interesting that the white character in this comic from 1976 is named Nate. Much later, Nate Bargatze will have a similar theme in this now well-known SNL skit:

On a serious note, it is always worth pondering the end of Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Speech:

“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

JMcAndrew sends this in: “Wouldn’t he be able to see a picture of the person he’s been matched with and probably other identifying information like their age? Also with the prevalence of actual child predators on the internet I’m surprised that the syndicate was okay with this storyline. I know he’s an idiot but this is like when Cartman on South Park tries to meet older men and joins NAMBLA.”

Targuman sends this in, along with a bit of Johnny Cash trivia:

Johnny Cash once started a forest fire that killed 49 of 53 remaining California condors in a preserve. 

” in 1965 that Johnny Cash ignited a wildfire in the Los Padres National Forest that drove off 49 of the area’s 53 endangered California condors. In those days, the gravelly-voiced singer had fallen so deep into amphetamine use that the people around him feared for his life.”

I’ve been to cheesy funerals, but …

JMcAndrew writes,

I had to Google it and apparently Tenafly is a small borough in New Jersey. Is this a cartoon specifically for the 15,000 or so people who live there?

Well, yeah–or that’s all they can get for their “International” film festival!

Boise Ed sends this in: “I wouldn’t have expected this in Blondie, but this is so true!”

billr sends this in, with some CIDU aspects: “Looks like maybe a can of insecticide in Death’s hand? Or maybe the guy in the background is an impending client? Dunno.”

Phil writes: “Make sure to work “scythe sale” into the post, preferably several times!” Yes, that’s a tongue twister!

Bliss is heavy on the Grim Reaper theme lately. An improvement on the talking pet cartoons, IMO. And that sale scythe he got at the scythe sale is pretty good looking for a sale scythe purchased at a scythe sale. I wonder if I can still get a sale scythe at the scythe sale? Let me know in the comments if there’s still a scythe sale. [Happy, Phil?]

I love the phrase “house camping”. It’s a good description of trying to work around a serious remodeling project.

In that column on the left, there is a Suggest-a-CIDU form. If you see something that particularly puzzles you, let us help by sending it in.
