Okey-doke, an accents joke. Or a pronunciations joke. Why not?


Yeah, don’t say that! 🙀[“Caring” emoji, did I get it right?]

Such practical good advice!


Chemgal sends in this unusually funny fourth-wall break.

Understanding hotel etiquette.

From Boise Ed, who gets the intended joke but remains dubious about there being something actually funny going on.



And a LOL from Usual John:





I had been familiar with the Çedille Records label out of Chicago for quite some time before noticing that one reason for the name is that it would be pronounced much like “CD”.





Catptivity!
Gotta love the bugeyes on this guy!


“What did the polite convict say after accidentally bumping the touring Governor visiting the facility?”











It could pass for simply an innocent pun — that’s a screwdriver so it’s driving for the two screws. But doesn’t something foreboding come thru anyway?





I guess I missed out Part I. This is trying hard, maybe too hard, but deserves to be seen for cheerful persistence even if not really for brilliant OY-ness.
Since this strip seems to offer a pun every day, it is hard not to over-indulge. But this one was immediately right in the OY spirit!

Ohhhh nooo! There is no way to stop at just one!






A nice Thurber shout-out here. And do you agree the Bliss dogs bear a resemblance to Thurber dogs?

And for fun let’s compare the color version:

I’d say the color is nicer as a mild-humor comic, but the Thurber book identity is obscured.

But no, I can’t figure out what the pairings and lines are doing. It’s certainly not the standard March Madness sort of bracketting. Maybe if I had reread the book at some point in the last 50 years I would do better. … OK, here’s a help page. Wait, how can it fail to mention Dorothea’s nickname, “Dodo”?


Oh, oh, oh! I think I know!


Since that part IS called the Legend, is this comic trying to provide some kind of just-so story?

Thanks to helpful tips from readers last time Comics Kingdom commenting came up, this time I was able to remark on this one: “So true! Burns me up when they do that!”.
