When doing research (wasting time on the internet) I often find cartoons I am amused by, and take a screenshot, intending to post them here, usually as LOLs or OYs. But I’ve got a backlog, and so I’m dumping a few of those screenshots here today.

If it’s 5:00 p.m., that’s an iconic end to the 9 to 5 workday. But while you may do a certain amount of lying while working in corporate America [“Your call is important to us. Please stay on the line and a representative will be with you shortly.” or “You’re the first customer who’s ever complained about that.”] after 5 you’re off the clock.
Does this early Peanuts comic may provide Lucy the motivation for her endless football revenge on Charlie Brown?
Mitch4 sends this momentary CIDU in: “I was puzzled until learning that both “Mary Sue” and “plot armor” are fandom terminology.”
Hang on to your wallet, Auntie!

Dirk the Daring wonders about this one: “This makes no sense. If he is paid by the hour he’d take his time and dawdle. Maybe I’m missing something, it seems back-assward to me.”
Kedamono sends this in as an “Ewww”: “I mean, YouTube videos on potty training? Yikes! Also, isn’t he a bit too young to have his own phone?”
This one may be a Momentary CIDU:

Is hell organized as a sole proprietorship?

Whipped potatoes.
This one is somewhere between and OY and a CIDU for me.
Just don’t stick me with the bar bill.
Mitch4 send in this groaner:
Memories: I was just a junior analyst, but had done a rather complicated analysis on an important topic and was to present it to the VP of Marketing and his reports: the brand managers and marketing directors. In part, this was because I’d done the analysis and so I knew it best and was expected to be able to present this coherently. In part, it was because if the presentation went south, I was an expendable part of the company and could be counseled to find another job before my annual review, or maybe by the end of the week.
In the middle of my presentation, I made a joke. Worse, the joke was on my slides, and up on the screen. There was silence in the room. My boss – and her boss – blanched. Then, blessedly, the VP of Marketing laughed. The rest of the marketing staff therefore also laughed. My career was saved.
I did get some “advice” from my superiors afterwards, though.
Did the VP really think the joke was funny, or did he just feel like giving me a break? I don’t know. I did stay at the company long enough to know that my analysis was correct, and the company had correctly acted on it.
Mitch4 sends this in for the “It’s just odd graphics, there is nothing to explain” Department. “IDU [I initially didn’t understand] why the woman has that very bold and oddly-placed moustache. Is it contributing to the marital-discontent joke?
Nevermind, it’s just part of her hairstyle, seen past where her mouth is drawn.”
Yes, at first glance it looks like a Hitler moustache, something few women wore even in 1930s Germany. Certainly if my wife started sporting one, I’d start considering my options.
