Saluting Margaret Wade

JMcAndrew asks: “Is there any character in comics treated more unfairly than Margaret Wade? She doesn’t do anything to deserve this.” And sends in these exhibits.

JMcAndrew: “This one where he intentionally walks in on her in the shower is all kinds of wrong.”

There is, of course, the running gag in Blondie in which Dagwood is interrupted in the bath. But that was used so often in lost any prurient effect and just the comic effect remained. And Dagwood somehow was always able to get a towel around critical parts.

“I’ll be at The Library”

JMcAndrew asks, “I’d think at age 5 Dennis would already know what a zoo is. Did Henry take Dennis to some kind of strip club and tell him it was the zoo?”

From the expression on Henry’s face, I think that might be the case, though this seems odd and inappropriate for a DtM strip!

I’m reminded of the alleged bar or strip club named The Library, a great place to spend an afternoon “studying”…

Unclear on the Concept

Mark H. sends this in: “I think he meant Achilles tendon. I don’t think “Achilles heel” is a medical term…”

JMcAndrew sends this in: “I think Dennis is only supposed to be at the most 5 or 6 years old. He seems kind of young to be having sex talk with, also what did his father say to him that confused him like this?”

Lemonade

Boise Ed sends this one in: “First, Dennis has always liked Gina (as opposed to Margaret), so why would he go to great lengths to avoid serving her? Also, if he’s out of product, why would he and the empty pitcher still be sitting there?”

Rikki don’t block that number

Sent by Stan as a CIDU. While he didn’t specify what aspect seems opaque, the “Block Party” title can yield to your pun-sense, but it may remain dubious why Mr. Wilson’s analogy to microbial resistance would count as an inside joke.

Cleaning out old file storage services

An old favorite!

Another old favorite

As so often with “Viivi and Wagner”, the thesis seems to be that men are pigs…

Two slightly different ways of misusing a common phrase.

Pay up?

I get that the babysitter shouldn’t be sleeping on the job. But “pay up”?

Dennis the Emasculator?

Is there some sort of pun or cleverness associated with thinking of fixing a car like a medical operation? Or is the humor in that a woman might change a tire, rather than a man?

Happy New Year!

Yep, I think we all feel this way. Here’s hoping!

Cassiopeia is a circumpolar constellation for most people in the northern hemisphere, meaning it's always visible. Orion is a prominent…

Grawlix (8): You ought to ask Jeff Keane, since Family Circus often uses a circular space.

I'm but a simple man. I laughed aloud at "net fix and chill."

Doesn't Cassiopeia precede Orion?
