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!

Sunday Funnies – LOLs, July 30th, 2023

That’s another fine meta you’ve got us into!




For a comic strip not generally* done in “realistic style”, this shows a lot of detail to convincingly set the scene!

[*] Though they occasionally go hyper-realistic by using a photo panel!



Suggested by Dirk the Daring, who notes “Me thinks David Sipress has never left the city.  The cow and pig in the background aren’t too bad, but up front we seem to have a cow with pig nose and maybe a pig with a cow tail.  Or maybe not.

The gag itself is pretty good though.”


As a commenter at GoComics hints, that Mr. Wilson better not be Dennis Mitchell’s neighbor!


Yes, this was a Sunday strip.

And another Rubes, suggested by Maggiethecartoonist :





Should I feel sheepish posting a second comic on herding?
