Thanks to Maggiethecartoonist for this GibbleGuts:
And Maggiethecartoonist also provides these two more Garfield entries — with brief comments for each!
“Farms must be fun.”
‘I cleaned out all the comic folders, and my computer still looks like a meatball!’
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”.
Btw, the text means “Happy Birthday”
Some medical conditions are best approached gingerly.
Some of these you can see just why ; others it’s unclear but still a chuckle ; and others just opaque.
Enter nominees for sadder words in the comments (no politics or religion, please)
Since we have a Skink among our regulars, here’s a Far Side on that species subject:
A case of breaking the third wall?
Maybe this is a bit of a CIDU — I understand how her laptop might need an OS update, or even her nails, but what’s up with the metaphors?
“Pin code”
How many of these would you call arguable?
Here’s a Quote Investigator link for “It got too crowded, nobody goes there anymore”.

More of an OY than a LOL perhaps, but who is counting?
Wrong Hands labels this with “redux” so we are not abashed about rerunning it here.
(not a CIDU) My favorite has always been Æthelred the Unready (English king from 978-1016). What are favorite epithets of yours?
Happy Halloween — a good excuse to post some monster-themed cartoons. Here’s a couple that might fit into a Halloween-themed library.
This man isn’t worried that he’s out of candy, because he’s planned ahead.
If there is something left, it might not be the good stuff.
One measure of how influential Peanuts was is how familiar the Great Pumpkin is to us all.
First mention of the Great Pumpkin, October 26, 1959. You can follow this arc at https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1959/10/26
So, Monty Python’s science was right!
Andréa sends in this synchronicity. Cartoonists are always looking for a new angle, but sometimes push it too far.
Finally, like that house at the end of the night that gives out multiple candy bars so they won’t eat them all themselves, there’s this bonanza from John Atkinson — some cartoonists would have spread these out one at a time, and gotten a whole month out of this idea.
