Sunday Funnies – LOLs – July 13, 2025

A few days ago, your editor, riding his bike in a bike lane, was right hooked. Both my bicycle and his car had the green light; I’m going straight and his car came up from behind and turned right; luckily I only made contact with the side of his car and was unhurt except for some bruising when I hit the street. The driver said he saw me, but assumed I would stop at the green light because the pedestrian signal said “wait”! My adrenalin was already going wild from the accident and this statement failed to calm me down.

But that’s not the punchline here. While we were waiting for the police, I noticed his car had a temporary license plate. I asked it if was a new car. It was; his previous car had been totaled because he’d been in a t-bone accident the week before.

Sunday Funnies, LOLs – February 23, 2025

Chemgal sent this in as an OY, but we’d already posted it as a LOL. They’re probably right, but it was already here. :)

This reminds me of those ads for PCs in the 1980s, when the first CGA monitors became practical. The ads would proudly show a pie chart, illustrating that the monitor would display colors and could draw a nearly perfect circle. The humor of those ads for me is (1) how many users would ever make a pie chart, and (2) pie charts are seldom the best way to show data.

Sunday Funnies – LOLs, December 22st, 2024

Jack Applin submitted this “Edison Lee” last year as a CIDU, but Comics Kingdom refused to produce it, until I remembered to change the URL from the old “.net” to the new “.com” address. Ooops.

…
Jack commented: “Sure, the Rankin/Bass special. But what’s this about a finger in a nose? It wouldn’t BE in the special, if he were edited out.”

The humor is mostly just slapstick, but “nose” is probably a reference to the line in “The Night Before Christmas” (and the elf just messed up while “…laying his finger aside of his nose“).

Speechless Santa. Fill in your own dialogue. (GoComics posting error on 12/15. It’s clearly a GoComics error, because Arcamax shows the dialogue. GoComics corrected the error a day later.) It’s oddly meta, because panel 3 in the actual dialogue accuses Santa of not keeping up with the latest technology.

Steve B. sends this in. “Thought this was clever. Not sure everyone will get this if they don’t pay attention to the news.”

Mark H. send this in, noting “It took me a while”.

Sunday Funnies – LOLs, November 10th, 2024

Kilby suggested this Macanudo from 2022:

…
P.S. Perhaps they should join the sheep in that tree just above the strip.

For those unfamiliar with “What the Duck“, the artwork shows a sad duck with its head on the keyboard:

…
P.P.S. The Ctrl-S key (for “save“) is in fact adjacent to Ctrl-Z (“undo“).

A sweet little fourth-wall moment with Arlo & Janis:

…
As Mark H. commented when he sent it in: “It IS hard to tell they are dancing without the notes.”

Las Vegas Chasm tried to submit an Argyle Sweater as a CIDU, commenting: “I usually “get” Argyle Sweater each day owing to my modestly demented mind, but today’s is a real stumper. My equally perverse friends also do not understand it. Simply put, yo soy confusado.“

Unfortunately, LVC’s link to the image was broken. Going by the date, it should have been the one on the right, but that seems too easy, so I’m also including the previous day, which seems equally funny, but might have been a little more puzzling:

…
The “featured comment” at GoComics gives an explanation for the first one: “Well, if you make corn oil out of corn, and olive oil out of olives, guess what you make baby powder out of” (she tried tasting it).

Considering the logo and the claims linking baby powder to cancer, eating that stuff is definitely not a good idea.

Where do they keep the journals at a Chemistry library? On the periodical table.

Danny Boy sends this high-voltage LOL in.
