Such practical good advice!
Chemgal sends in this unusually funny fourth-wall break.
Understanding hotel etiquette.
From Boise Ed, who gets the intended joke but remains dubious about there being something actually funny going on.
And a LOL from Usual John:
Just a touch of CIDU perhaps…
CIDU note: So what was their plan? Or is it merely a non-coordination mixup. The usual TV story would be that they planned to go to town and do something wild.
A nice Thurber shout-out here. And do you agree the Bliss dogs bear a resemblance to Thurber dogs?
And for fun let’s compare the color version:
I’d say the color is nicer as a mild-humor comic, but the Thurber book identity is obscured.
But no, I can’t figure out what the pairings and lines are doing. It’s certainly not the standard March Madness sort of bracketting. Maybe if I had reread the book at some point in the last 50 years I would do better. … OK, here’s a help page. Wait, how can it fail to mention Dorothea’s nickname, “Dodo”?
Oh, oh, oh! I think I know!
We’ll serve a can o’ peas for the partygoers to munch on.
And will they serve a Moose Boosh?

And while this post was languishing in Draft queue, there were still good new duffies getting published. This one, for instance, which found its way into one of our weekly OY collections:
.. and prompted this intro: OY by virtue of ambiguous parsing of [[comic strip] bar] versus [comic [strip bar]]. But y’know, as Will Rogers is never quite quoted as saying, I never meta man I didn’t like. And also a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, else what’s a metaphor?
Or similar for this :

Just BTW, does “aggro” in casual speech these days mean aggressive or aggravating?
Dýou think this is well-positioned to become even more popular than the one about the land of the blind?
A fine line between pun and equivocation.
In the GoComics comments, Teresa Burritt (creator of Frog Applause) revealed that this was a CIDU for her! (Several commenters answered to provide the Stephen King reference.)
… at Alice’s Restaurant!
And while we’re at it, another Reply All:
And this was a winning week for Andertoons!
This Lug Nuts is pretty funny, but leaves a mystery. Hence LOL-CIDU.
Thanks to maggiethecartoonist, who says “Always remember pants”.
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!
