In honor of what would have been CIDU Bill‘s 70th birthday, here are a pair of comics that he would never have understood:

P.S. When I first discovered this strip, I thought that the “60” in the first frame might be a wonderful, serendipitous coincidence, but alas, my math was off by a decade.
Boise Ed submitted this B.C. strip as a CIDU, but I think it qualifies as an LOL:

Ed had questioned the illogical elements of the setup: “I had forgotten that there is a restaurant chain called ‘The Cheesecake Factory‘, but why would anyone only eat roadkill, and why would anyone drive his car through that restaurant?“, but I think that it’s not supposed to make sense, it’s just supposed to be funny. The latter is something that the current author(s) don’t always achieve, so it’s always nice to see an exception.
MarkTa submitted this Wizard of Id strip as a CIDU quite a while ago, asking “Please help – is it about flatulence? Completely baffled.“
…
While “burrito” might indeed imply “flatulence“, the real explanation is simpler: the Wizard is tired of Blanche stealing the blankets, and is anchoring them on his side of the bed (with an ultra-modern medieval nail gun). Both Calvin and his dad would have appreciated the Wizard’s solution:
When a cat employs this blanketing strategy, the result is called a “purrito“:
Sent by Mark M, saying: “The mouse hole is taller than the usual depiction of one, but why would that deter the cat?” We were going to rejoinder that it is also much narrower, but on reflection that would not stop a determined paw. Anyhow, was this not the goal of the remodeling? Or does it somehow surprise the speaking rodent?
You say tomato, I say potato …
In this Sad-LOL, she discovers why he seemed to be ghosting her.

Isn’t this precisely why cats are neutered?
