Sunday Funnies – LOLs, December 15th, 2024

Squirrel(s) have taken up residence in the attic of our condo building. Between the animal control fees, the carpentry repairs where they chewed through a dormer, and trimming the trees further away from the building, this will be an expensive endeavor. And, I have neighbors who scare away the red-tailed hawk who hangs around, so it won’t harm the squirrels. Seeing that squirrel in Whamond’s strip reminds me of a tagline of Bill’s: “GoDaddy and the Squirrel Must Both Die”.

Even in this very early Peanuts strip, Charlie Brown has found his signature style.

When you want to make sure nobody will send your comic in as a CIDU:

This is a combination Public Service Announcement and Christmas gift suggestion. My runner daughter started wearing a fiber-optic vest with chest light like Frazz is wearing a few years ago, and then got me one as a Christmas gift. They’re great for running, cycling, or walking at night. As a driver, I appreciate people who are lit up, so I can see them far ahead.

What’s the joke here?

Is there a pun in the name Arlo Hoyt?

This is common financial advice (e.g. in the book The Psychology of Money, by Morgan Housel, which I just finished), or, famously, in Dickens novel, David Copperfield.

Or, could the joke be that Arlo Hoyt has claimed that he coined this common maxim himself, and has erected a status of himself in his honor?

For less helpful advice, certainly not what Dickens’ Mr. Micawber would have advised, we have this from Randy Glasbergen:

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.

Sent in by >>Boy-see Ed<<, who says “This one suits me to a tea”.

And a counterpoise of business meeting strategy, and who gets to speak up, from 9-to-5:

Do any disguised superheroes actually do this?

Thanks to Usual John for this one!
