What’s that got to do with the price of Peanuts?

  • CIDU

Hasn’t the psychiatric booth always been five cents? Is this new? Updated for post-COVID inflation? Or did I miss something else?

https://peanuts.fandom.com/wiki/Lucy%27s_psychiatry_booth talks about it being seven cents for legal help, but this isn’t that.

With the snowman involved, I’d’ve guessed prices would be frozen! <boom-tish>

A painter wearing a necktie, painting a canvas that is floating in mid-air in front of its easel-frame. We’ve all seen absurdities of modern art; perhaps this is absurdities of a modern artist?

…and that’s about it. Thanks to Dirk the Daring for sending.

P.S. Why is the soccer ball shaped like a rugby ball?

Second take?

This comic is from 1965, but showed up today at GoComics recycling of old B.C. comics. There are a lot of possibilities related to Janus being two faced, but do any of them come together as a gag?

Kenneth Berkun sends this one in. Seems to be missing something, but missing things is what CIDU is all about.

Because it sounds like “capture”??

If he’s referring to the light coming from the phone’s screen, there’s no way it could create that pattern (even assuming, for the sake of the comic, it could actually cause a burn).

Related to something we were discussing the other day, but what’s the joke?
