Sunday Funnies – LOLs, October 1st, 2023

A nice LOL-Ewww:

And then a nice LOL-Awwww:

And who doesn’t enjoy a good Alexa-Siri joke?

And an Ouch-LOL:

He meant to order an inflatable doll, but received an inflatable bed of nails.

P.S. A couple days later, this character and that prop re-appear; but decidedly not funny :-( .

BTW, Gocomics gives this feature filenames that look like loesp230927.jpg, clueing us that at some point they were considering it to be Life On Earth in Spanish. (The same artist does the Life on Earth comic.)

Again on the meta train.

The Devil’s

targuman sent:

noting, “I know the phrase ‘Idle hands make the Devil’s workshop’ (or similarly ‘Idle hands make for the Devil’s work’) but I don’t see the Devil working here…just hopping. I get that the idea is sort of like a kid leaving Legos on the floor, but it just doesn’t quite connect for me.”

We have a guess as to the intended story/joke here, but figured we’d let the assembled braintrust have at it.

Uh-oh! “Arlo” warning for younger and more sensitive viewers.

As many here will already know, these Nick G “comics” originate as illustrations accompanying the Washington Post advice column conducted by Carolyn Hax. The connection is sometimes close, and often sort of tangential. The column is behind a paywall, but for those interested here is a free “gift article link” to the August 23 column.

Saturday Morning OYs – August 26th, 2023

It bothers me (mitch) a little bit that this seems to depend on fission being more dramatically explosive than fusion. But still it’s wordplay and it’s pretty funny…

Parisi himself made the following comments:

“The coffin is ajar”

“Now he’ll be berried”

As for me, I’d like to toast the deceased.

Oh yes, I’ve seen ads for that phone, haven’t you?

Perhaps only a bit stranger than Janus, a star that has one side hydrogen, the other side helium https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/07/this-white-dwarf-star-has-two-faces/

A pretty nice Meta comic! I’ll look forward to seeing the color version, and checking what elements are red. Meanwhile, here is a red tee fitting for reference :

Well, here it is! Nope, nothing exciting to be learned …

(No language issues here, so we are not including the Spanish version.)

Here’s one kind of meta idea taken to a logical conclusion.

This one I wanted to make a daily standalone CIDU, but couldn’t really justify that.

OK, it’s a general picture of some sort of “bad boyfriend behavior”, but what exactly is he saying, to get rid of who or what? (Secondarily, since the absent partner here is a stand-in for the cartoonist, she might well be taking a share of blame for so often provoking exasperation.)

But then again, here they are together for some creative brainstorming!

Oh and BTW, for others who follow this strip, does this mean he is part of the spinoff “Side Gig” business that she and her pal from work are planning to quit their jobs to go launch? Or I guess he’s just being supportive about it…

A piquant FA

And didn’t we recently see a “CTRL-Z” comic?
