What is it about Bruno?

…asks Dirk the Daring:

He notes,

He has a red eye and he’s waving but how do we know beavers don’t wave anyway?  

It brings back memories of the book “And God Bless Uncle Harry and His Roommate Jack Who We Are Not Supposed to Talk About“, a collection of gay-themed cartoons originally published by the magazine Christopher Street.

But there’s nothing in particular about Bruno that implies he is gay. And, of course, if I had a gay uncle beaver named Bruno, I would not be ashamed about talking about him.

Your editor has a different theory here, but presents this for the hive-mind’s analysis. (And if I had an uncle who was a beaver named Bruno, I’d be thrilled!)

Once again: In memory of CIDU Bill Bickel

Several years ago, Bill commented upon the unusual frequency of “Grim Reaper” comics, and he even held a contest (called “Deathmatch!“) to prove his point.

For this reason, I suggested scheduling the following comic collection for today, the second (now) fourth anniversary of Bill’s extremely untimely passing, in memory of a dear friend whom we all miss terribly, and who (I believe) would have understood this rather unorthodox memorial presentation in the humorous and good-natured fashion in which it is sincerely intended.

It’s simply a shame that Bill never had a chance to read and comment upon these comics with us all.

P.S. The comments are still open: everyone is welcome to read them and all the comics that were added there (currently seven dozen), and to add new ones.

This Strange Brew was contributed by Andréa, originally as an Oy:

Saturday Morning OYs – September 14th, 2024

Okay, they can have one now and then!

Two driving comics that arrived in my email inbox on the same 06 September delivery. (The Zack Hill was one in a series about Jan’s assignment to anger management school.)

For a while this felt like it should go somewhere in the “All we needed was the first panel” family of picky categorizations. But then it turns out I would have entirely missed the extra pun, were it not for the final panel telling us exactly what we were missing!
