Mitch4 sends in this stinker: “This should really lead into another classic groaner:
You rip-pa deese?
You mend-a deese!”
Thanks to Mitch4 for sending this in: “guess it’s not strictly speaking puns, but certainly some kind of word-play. And it did take me a couple panels to see that there was some rule-following going on.”
Does this early Peanuts comic may provide Lucy the motivation for her endless football revenge on Charlie Brown?
Mitch4 sends this momentary CIDU in: “I was puzzled until learning that both “Mary Sue” and “plot armor” are fandom terminology.”
Hang on to your wallet, Auntie!
Not really an OY, but timely since Halloween was yesterday.

In the early Peanuts comics, Charlie Brown is not always the nice guy everyone walks over. Two examples:
Snoopy fairly early on has behavior beyond standard dog behavior:
As a kid in the back seat, I used to look up after seeing “Watch for Falling Rock” signs to see if there were rocks falling. This, of course, was futile. Drivers on curvy mountain roads should be looking at the road, and looking for fallen rocks, not staring up at the bluff on the off-chance that there’s a boulder coming down right at this very second. Most, but not all, signs I see on the highway now say fallen, not falling.
Mark H. sends this in as a fourth wall breaker, and wonders: “Do cartoon characters count in base eight?”
A couple of movie-related OYs
JMcAndrew sends this in: “IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes have no results for anything called “The Immortal Weekend”. Does Brutus think this is a pornographic movie?”
Maybe just hoping.
Now some food-related:
On group bike rides, you call out a hazard as a courtesy to the riders behind you so they don’t hit it. So, you might call out “road kill” or “squirrel” or “skunk” … or “lunch”.
JMcAndrew sends this in: “Did someone spike it with LSD? Probably should call 911 if all these people were exposed and exhibiting symptoms.”
