Saturday Morning OYs – April 20th, 2024
In His Last Bow, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle mentions that Holmes retired to a small farm on the Downs five miles from Eastbourne where he was “living the life of a hermit” among his bees and books. This would hardly be orange and lemon growing territory.
This was initially posted as a CIDU. Then, all at once, ZBicyclist realized it belonged on the OY page.
Fun with homonyms.
Sunday Funnies – LOLs, February 18th, 2024
And a less-vintage Bizarro
Thanks to Darren for sending this Andertoons:
We’re all still chuckling over the Sturm und Drang inboxes; but Darren also raises a question whether there is some sort of art trickery going on — like a different face showing up if you invert the picture. Well, it doesn’t seem to be exactly that; but maybe something similar?
This remains a semi-CIDU, as most of the allusions are obscure to an outsider; yet the jokes are clear enough once the basic point is caught that this depends on something about the ninja turtles.
Finally!
Yes, finally we get the correct form of this joke! (Compare the Eyebeam discussed at https://cidu.info/2023/09/10/sunday-funnies-lols-september-10th-2023 )
Some months ago CIDU was asked to remove all the Far Side comics from our site, and we did so.
It’s their intellectual property, and they are within their rights. Certainly there are many social media sites trying to attract attention with Far Side cartoons, and it must be like Whack-A-Mole to reign those in. Still, they are missed, and Dave Whamond’s comic here is a reminder to check out the legit site for old and new work from Larson: https://www.thefarside.com/new-stuff
CIDU QUEUE REMINDER
As always — but it needs saying again now and then — we like to think of this as a reader-participation site, and not just for your invaluable (or anyhow amusing) comments, but for suggestions of comics to run and discuss.
Please share your specific suggestions of panels or strips, in CIDU, LOL, and OY categories, either by direct email to
(that’s “CIDU.Submissions” at gmail dot com) or by using the handy-dandy Suggest A CIDU form page!

But we’re not done with Tom Falco! (BTW, 305 is the area code for Miami, where he is based.)

And Boise Ed provides another One Big Happy:
And Jack Applin suggests this Phoebe and her Unicorn:
(This is apparently the first appearance of this strip in a CIDU post; so far it has only been mentioned a few times in comments.)
Jack further comments, “I was astonished to learn that, according to Wikipedia, all of the *core really exist:“

Thanks to Mark H. for sending this, and calling for a Geezer Alert.
Oh, why not!
This one deserves to be flagged.
BONUS CIDU-OY!
Oh those sneaky notes!
Here’s one sent by two readers, Boise Ed and James Riendeau:
Ed limns the puzzlement for us: “Grimm appears to be writing on a notepad. Goose is on a landline call. Is ‘sneaking notes’ some kind of cell-phone thing? I’m totally lost here, and none of the [GoComics site] commenters got it, either.”
Twas the OY before Kicksmess – December 24th, 2022
Andréa sends in these. Good to see the Ministry of Silly Walks getting into the holiday spirit.
A perpetual favorite mixup:
… and what did we just say?
More Bizarro.
Here’s one for the “not a classic pun, but generalized language play” … also it’s time to acknowledge the “dad jokes” category in pop culture.
Go fish
Stan sends in this pair, with Bob Ball joining in on the Mother Goose. The first is a CIDU. The second perhaps explains the first, but definitely deserves a Geezer tag. Barney Miller‘s last episode was over 40 years ago.
I have a bad feeling about this
From Bill$Dollar. The reference is pretty clear (modulo mild Geezerness) but the connection??
