This may be a case of two overfamiliar clichés combining to give a cynical chuckle.

A couple for those of you counting steps. These were also a synchronicity.

A new twist!

Flutter-byes

Previously (in https://cidu.info/2022/05/16/never-wear-around-your-neck-anything-that-comes-out-of-your-tail-end/ ) we explored the precedence of flutter-by before butterfly — to the surprise of many, including me.

Recently Andréa noticed: “BTW – I don’t know if it’s because of Monarch Butterfly Migration Season, or what, but have YOU noticed a plethora of caterpillar-to-butterfly jokes? I think I’ve seen 15-20 in the past week.”

Then almost immediately after seeing her mail, I ran across this from David Borchart in “Bob Mankoff presents: show me the funny (animal edition)” at Comics Kingdom:

Further … we went looking for more, and Andréa took a look for the ones she had encountered. And we all realized it had not been a widespread phenomenon from multiple sources, but an obviously conscious and intended series from the (don’t hold your breath for the duration of this title) “Bob Mankoff Presents: Show Me The Funny (Animal Edition)” people.

Nonetheless, no reason not to share their accomplishments with the CIDU crowd!

Chemgal sends in this reminder that there might be a few syndromes not in DSM-5.

Thanks to John Reubens, who says “Thought this was clever. Made me LOL. 1880s version of unfriending? :) “

Ran into this Liz Climo on Facebook; it doesn’t seem to be on GoComics, nor on her own site.

This is the funniest comic I’ve ever seen that seems reminiscent of the quadratic formula, although it doesn’t get the coefficients and exponents quite right.

To anyone who might have a birthday this year, Happy Birthday!

This is one that takes up a bunch of hyphenate tags. It’s a LOL-Meta-4thWall with a geezerish allusion to a story (urban legend) you just have to know to make it clear….

Would this hyena might benefit from checking Comics I Don’t Understand?

This Rhymes With Orange LOL is from Alan Smithee.

UPDATE

Let’s see if this image is any cleaner

Do you get the point?

This CIDU is easier to figure out if you’re a cat owner. It provides an excuse to note that Comics Kingdom started Bob Mankoff Presents: Show Me the Funny (Animal Edition), which may be of interest. Since stepping down as cartoon editor at the New Yorker, he’s been running CartoonStock, which is a business that licenses cartoons.

Pete, that's pretty interesting. I was familiar with both words but never thought about the difference.

My brother made a snowman. I won't tell you where he put the carrot but it was definitely a snow…

Rancid

Combine the two: How do you get to West Point? Practise. Does that work? :-)
