Snailed it

JMcAndrew sends in this festival of snail comics. The same joke used by two cartoonists, or by one comic separated by time.

Glenn and Gary McCoy are responsible for these next three.

Also here are 2 LOL comics where the word escrow is being misheard as escargot.

Last May 24th was National Escargot Day. We should have posted these then, but we were slow to get around to it.

Saturday Morning OYs – December 28th, 2024

More website ineptitude from GoComics. Make up your own ending. The complete caption (found same day in other places) is at the bottom of this post.

Mark H. and Boise Ed send in another Frazz as a double OY from December 26 (important to understanding the pun): “The first oy is subtle, and depends on your understanding of the English.”

Full caption from the Jim Benton Cartoon:

” I think I’ve fallen in love with you.

Unless that’s not cupid and I’ve just been

shot by a little naked guy.”

It’s an odd choice to have that cartoon appear on December 25, Christmas Day.

Some comics feature both tea and coffee, usually preferring the latter, but this comic from a 1902 issue of “Punch” is notable for its impartiality:

…
The passenger’s statement (“Look here, Steward, if this is Coffee, I want Tea; but if this is Tea, then I wish for Coffee”) has been (incorrectly) attributed to a number of people (such as Abraham Lincoln), but it remains unclear who said it first, or whether it was merely composed as a fictional anecdote.

Herman is confronted with an alternative solution:

Buni seems to depict the usual attitude of coffee drinkers towards tea.

Ditto Adam@Home:

Horace has made it clear (multiple times) that he definitely prefers coffee:

…

It’s hard to say which one it easier to prepare (if you care about doing it well):

Sometimes it doesn’t matter, when it’s just for the caffeine:

Each drink has its own particular traditions.
