Seems like Brevity tries out a pun every single day. Sometimes they may hit all right.
Ah well, this may raise the perpetual question, Can an auditory pun survive being put into writing when that breaks up a double meaning?
From Andréa, as a kind of Arlo-OY:
Also Andréa:
This is not a full-fledged Sunday comic, but the intro and the two “throwaway” panels. Yet here is where the funny bit was!
From Mark Jackson:
Of course people have always thought “Ira Roth” could be someone’s name.
Oh wait! Just noticed that Arnold Zwicky’s blog goes into linguistic and referential detail about this one.
Sent in by Andréa, BillR, and Dan Sachs; this is somewhat of a CIDU-OY. You may need to brush up on your triggernometry!

Therapeutic notes from Andréa!

The comic’s creator on his website can’t stop punning apparently, and gives the post containing this a title of “O temp, O remoras“.
And what did he think it said?
BTW, we always have plenty of LOLs and Oys, but are running low on genuine CIDUs. I guess everyone understands all their comics? If you get any CIDUs, please send them in.

Funnier than it deserves to be!
From Andréa and more.

“This explains a lot” says Stan:
From Andréa:
But he still gets a lot of “Oh yeah? What did it use to be?”.
“To Serve Man”.

Never runs out.
A LOL-Eww from Bob Ball.
