Saturday Morning OYs – September 2nd, 2023

And another one for official Frankenstein Day:

And one directly addressing the occasion:



This from Chemgal, spotting an OY not in the comic overall but in a particular panel.

That’s right, it’s in what Chemgal calls “the third last panel”. I was going to have a fine old time on how different people, not to mention different nations, have different ways of counting from the back of a series, so the only safe way to label a “third from the end” or “second one from the last” or “position negative 3” is to adopt the technical-looking but easy-enough and safely unambiguous ANTEPENULTIMATE.

Oh but then! — but then I took a closer look, and I think the drawing is misleading, and actually the last panel includes both Adam’s speech balloon “Seriously .. all that?” as well as Katy’s and Clayton’s jibes. So the one with the cute shark tray pun is “second last” … or do you say “next to last”? Or “second back from the end”? Or “first before the last one”? Let’s go with PENULTIMATE!

Saturday Morning OYs – June 17th, 2023

Posted to Facebook group “Unappreciated Puns” by user Kerriann O’Sullivan with message “Happy Monday from the Southern Hemisphere “, so I was sort of expecting to have to work out a joke based on Australian accent or usage. But no, as it turns out; this seems to work out okay in General American.

Sunday Funnies on Saturday – LOLs and OYs , May 13th, 2023



Obligatory pedantic note: I still don’t like to see “invite” as a noun in place of “invitation”!


Betty’s son asks a question, and sure enough farther down my GoComics feed, I find the answer in Big Nate: First Class!





We almost put this Other Coast in tomorrow’s Mothers’ Day collection.


This one probably was the basis for the “word play in general” category.
