Celebrating Tuesday with two CIDUs today!
Jim A. sends in this one. “I just don’t get it.”
Dirk the Daring sends in this one: “I just don’t get it. Is he happy about the Eden thing and she’s not? This is actually what he expected? If so, it’s phrased oddly. It should be something like “Well, what did you expect from ‘Authentic apple-picking experience’”.
Or if it’s not what he expected, then “Well, this isn’t what I thought…”
This “Mr. Boffo” strip was submitted by David Curwin as a CIDU. I didn’t think the gag was that difficult to decipher, but Zbicyclist pointed out that the real question is how many historical inaccuracies did Joe Martin manage to incorporate into just this one comic?
P.S. The strip’s publication date does not count as a mistake. Columbus Day originally fell on October 12th, but that was according to the Julian calendar. It was moved to the second Monday in October for convenience, but would actually have fell on October 21st, if the modern (Gregorian) calendar had been in use back then.
Thanks to David Curwin.
Is there even a nephew in the Capt. America canon and this kid is claiming to be him? Or is it altogether his invention?
Oh, nevermind. Apparently you had to have read the previous day’s strip:
Oh, and the day before that:
So much for thinking I could scan the archives backwards.
Two more Deaths: one from Arseetoo…
and one from DanV…
Plus a Clown Car comic (finally!) from Becky, which is also a CIDU; I’m familiar with Mr. Martin’s “Another way to tell…” trope, but I’m not following the logic of this one.
EDIT: And a few hours later another Clown Car, from jajizi:
Which brings us to Death 7, Russian Clown Gesundheit 2.
(With non-competing Pinocchio still at 3)
