Saturday Morning OYs – May 31, 2025

Boise Ed sends this in.

Flagging the third one as a comic fan’s OY, but need to do two earlier ones in the series as a setup:

Mitch4 sends this in:

And while we’re on the subject of Freud, Mitch4 also sends this:

Freud’s unconscious cravings had more to do with sex, if I recall correctly, but there are other unconscious cravings.

JMcAndrew sends this in: “Why does he have the giant poster of a fly to begin with? Is he going to start eating anything vaguely associated with fruit? This isn’t a comic I normally read.”

Yum?

Boise Ed sends this in as a “CIDU, sort of”: “Why is this funny? It sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, the drawing makes them way too thick for Oreos. They look more like ice-cream sandwiches. Yum.”

There do seem to be such a thing as giant Oreos, and a suggested use is ice cream sandwiches.

It’s a miracle!

JMcAndrew sends a set of related cartoons:

The last two are obviously just different versions of the same joke from the same cartoonist, even if they’re 14 1/2 years apart. I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing or not.

These all remind me of an axiom I was taught long ago as a relationship test: Have lunch at your prospective partner’s house and ask for mayonnaise. If they present Miracle Whip–especially if they aren’t even apologetic about it–RUN.

Miracle Whip is to mayonnaise as carob is to chocolate. As someone else once wrote, “Carob is not an acceptable substitute for chocolate. It is not an acceptable substitute for anything except, perhaps, brown shoe polish.”

Old Men

JMcAndrew sends in these two, with an old man theme: “Trying to figure this one out. I’ve seen the movie “Grumpy Old Men” and don’t think that Walter Matthau looks anything like Saddam Hussein.”

JMcAndrew: I get the joke and I have seen “Blow Out” which is actually an excellent film. Submitted as an obvious eww but also considered that Travolta is now over 70 it wouldn’t be that surprising to find out he does have need for incontinence products.
