Saturday Morning OYs – December 28th, 2024

More website ineptitude from GoComics. Make up your own ending. The complete caption (found same day in other places) is at the bottom of this post.



Mark H. and Boise Ed send in another Frazz as a double OY from December 26 (important to understanding the pun): “The first oy is subtle, and depends on your understanding of the English.”




Full caption from the Jim Benton Cartoon:

P.P.S. To which he would then reply: “Dankeschön!


F.Y.I.: Is everyone is already prepared for the upcoming holiday(s)?


How to tell a fruit from a vegetable:



Your attitude towards caramelizing may depend on whether you’re the one who does the dishes. Similarly with dishes such as tahdig, “a beautiful, pan-fried Persian rice that is fluffy and buttery on the inside with a perfectly golden crust, which is the layer at the bottom of the pot.” — if you make it right. The first few times might not produce “a perfectly golden crust”.


And we couldn’t leave without a couple of nods to autumn.

The character in the leaf pile is Wallace’s mom:
