“Uh-oh, I had it mixed up with uxorious!” — from the Comments
They went to the right place for “Dad jokes”, evidently.

And another one for official Frankenstein Day:

And one directly addressing the occasion:


This from Chemgal, spotting an OY not in the comic overall but in a particular panel.

That’s right, it’s in what Chemgal calls “the third last panel”. I was going to have a fine old time on how different people, not to mention different nations, have different ways of counting from the back of a series, so the only safe way to label a “third from the end” or “second one from the last” or “position negative 3” is to adopt the technical-looking but easy-enough and safely unambiguous ANTEPENULTIMATE.
Oh but then! — but then I took a closer look, and I think the drawing is misleading, and actually the last panel includes both Adam’s speech balloon “Seriously .. all that?” as well as Katy’s and Clayton’s jibes. So the one with the cute shark tray pun is “second last” … or do you say “next to last”? Or “second back from the end”? Or “first before the last one”? Let’s go with PENULTIMATE!

Thanks to Darren for sending these in. He says of the Loose Parts, “I’m wondering what made him give in. Has the mime just been standing in one spot for over a week or something?






A pair from Maggiethecartoonist, who liked the recent Farcus and noted that it reminded her of the older Far Side.


… And Maggie asked the question which also reminded the editors of at least the title of They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (1969), a film which made quite a splash in its time but isn’t much mentioned these days.



Speaking of Farcus, Targuman sent in this one, and asks “do you think he has written in the dust on the windshields or used a paint pen?”



Names given in first panel are maybe necessary, since we won’t see a face.

Should I feel sheepish posting a second comic on herding?





Today’s trivia question: what U.S. vice-president had a Billboard #1 hit?






Btw, the text means “Happy Birthday”
