Mark H. sends in this censible comic: “This one is just a specimen of five days worth of penny / money puns. 6/17-6/21 could all appear as a single “Oy” section.
I wouldn’t change a thing…”
Mitch4 sends this in: “Quite a bit of phonological compression required, but despite not looking much alike, I can buy it that “Namaste” is a good sound substitute for “Nah, Imma stay” (where “Imma” in turn is a contemporary short form for “I’m gonna”).”

Due to one editor being on vacation this week, we’re going to imitate the comics by repeating some classics. This one is from June 2018, by Bill
B.A.: Okay, so… a comic about the future that uses what’s already a Geezer reference (Blockbuster/VHS tapes). But I still don’t understand what the joke’s supposed to be.
Though the Cow pinch-hitting for the Squirrel does give us a passable “Oy”.
A couple of movie-related OYs
JMcAndrew sends this in: “IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes have no results for anything called “The Immortal Weekend”. Does Brutus think this is a pornographic movie?”
Maybe just hoping.
Now some food-related:
On group bike rides, you call out a hazard as a courtesy to the riders behind you so they don’t hit it. So, you might call out “road kill” or “squirrel” or “skunk” … or “lunch”.
JMcAndrew sends this in: “Did someone spike it with LSD? Probably should call 911 if all these people were exposed and exhibiting symptoms.”
We can’t entirely ignore Easter!
This may have been posted on a previous Easter. If so, it’s doubly a zombie comic.
Celebrating the end of tax season:
Boise Ed sends this in: “The comic itself is okay (or would have been, 48 years ago), but I laughed out loud at the squirrel’s quip.”
This works, whether you pronounce these “blaw” and “law” or “blah” and “lah”. Mismatch those pairs, though, and it won’t work.
Now from the diseased mind of Stephen Pastis:
Darren submitted this same-day pair, commenting: “Two separate one-panels with a riff on mimes and the right to remain silent.” — they just don’t come more synchronous than this!
…
Darren added: “Although in the Loose Parts [on the left], I’m wondering what made him give in. Has the mime just been standing in one spot for over a week or something?“
Danny Boy – London Derriere sends this hair-raising one in. Might be a bit of a CIDU, or maybe a Geezer Alert, although Nair is still a brand.
“This one is probably flawed by the last panel, where it seems the cartoonist gave in to the feeling that readers would need help with the senses of pivot word “down”.”
Mitch4 sends in this recently rerun Tiger strip: “The pun turns on a structural ambiguity. “That’s what they call a punching bag” and “Good name for it” (because it has ‘punched’ back at the kid who was using it) . The gerund “punching” takes on two different roles. Similar to (tho not identical to) the classic “Visiting relatives can be tedious”.”
