Here’s a Reality Check from Stan, who says ” A couple of things didn’t quite scan with this for me. If that bubble is what I assume it is, I don’t think he’d need to be ‘told’. Also, why are the fish wearing regal headgear?”
And the squirrel didn’t have anything to say?

Brevity is one of those strips that seems to try a pun every time. But if we get too used to it, we may not notice when a pretty good one slips by.



We were about to cavil that the “k” was the same thing in both cases … but it really isn’t.

(The pun isn’t always on a word that appears in the caption or dialog.)



Hannukah is over. This has nothing to do with Hannukah. Just some comics about polo, from Kilby.

In case you didn’t know, the “Nick and Zuzu” comic panels run as accompaniment to an advice column by Carolyn Hax. Sometimes they really depend on the writing and are totally CIDU without it. Other times, the comic is quite independent of the column which sparked it; and that is the case here. And the cartoons appear elsewhere, where the column is not available or even mentioned, such as GoComics.
