Rolling Over

Anthropomorphized animals in comics are common, but sometimes confusing. How much are we supposed to think of these as having dog characteristics, and how much as human characteristics?

In this case, the applicant put of their resume that they rolled over in 2017 — 9 years ago if this isn’t a rerun. Is rolling over a good thing, showing the ability to master a skill, or a bad thing, like giving up or showing too much subservience.

Or, is it necessarily a resume (since it’s more than one page) — maybe an assessment by an outside agency?

Another anthropormorphized animal comic, but this one is in the LOL category. (not a CIDU)

Mitch4 sends in this OY (maybe a momentary CIDU).

So, as a cure, will that leg have to be Hermetically sealed?

Marrose sends this in:

That famous scene:

This is Dan Thompson’s Brevity, so it’s almost certainly a pun, and probably one that is easily explained, so I’m not posting it as a CIDU. But I don’t get it, so pan-der to your editor and explain it to me.

Mitch4 sends this in: “An OY with a self-conscious (or “meta”) element.”

A zucchini boat would be an alternative.

Quoth the rabbi: “Oy vey!”

Fourth Wall

Mitch4 notes: “Or is it actually 4th-wall? I thought so because the art seems to show him looking out at us, but both parents are grimacing as though they heard this and are considering their responses.”

“Looks can be deceiving” seems like a phrase too old for Dennis’s purported age, so I’m going with 4th-wall.
