Thanks to Becky for this XKCD.
The rollover text (for those who insist it’s an integral part of each XKCD cartoon) was “3D graphs that don’t contact the plane in the closure area may proceed as scheduled, but be alert for possible collisions with 2D graph lines that reach the hole and unexpectedly enter the 3D space.”
Is the therapist playing off an ambiguity to humorously chide the client for being late … again?
Is she talking to him, or on the phone with a female friend? Are they both being parodied for jargon? Or is his last panel speech supposed to be some sort of actually acute observation?
You knew there had to be one of those! (But I was befuddled looking for it at the wrong side.)
Y’know, I basically hate straight-out Ewwwws. But the way this one exploits the dispensing shape, you just gotta laugh.
A new take on the Law of Identity?
Thanks to Rob for this Tom Falco.
Is it a CIDU for any readers? We’re figuring no, everybody knows the sandwich franchise.
Chemgal sends in this reminder that there might be a few syndromes not in DSM-5.
Thanks to John Reubens, who says “Thought this was clever. Made me LOL. 1880s version of unfriending? :) “
Ran into this Liz Climo on Facebook; it doesn’t seem to be on GoComics, nor on her own site.

Oops! Got the underlying myth premise precisely backwards!

Okay, one joke is that there would be a rap version of a mantra. Or that she has been rapping it, or improvising it, or humming it or something, enough to disturb her friend.
But the bothersome aspect of this is how it seems to buy into some magical thinking. The dark-haired friend is linking her (later) ability to get the good parking space to performing a successful meditation now, undisturbed by intrusive mantra rapping. (Or could it be Nichiren Shōshū chanting?)
This is a perfectly fine little pun! Oh, except that there is no basis shown or hinted for why the new top provides more relief from the heat.
Dan Piraro also (as he does) used this in the headers of his weekly blog post, with a nice short commentary on familiar cartoon tropes and several examples of his use of the desert island.
Patience!
This reads as though she’s hinting he let the dog lick the bowls clean. Only, I don’t recall them having a dog?
It’s right on the verge of making some kind of self-help sense.
(Continuing to test unconverted WEBP)
And let’s try our luck once more with an unconverted webp image.
The caption does a good job of picking up on some terminology that is deep deep geezerdom, beyond even the floppies themselves.
And I recently noticed some folks referring to the 💾emoji as “save file” rather than anything about “disk”.
From the “Ain’t it the truth!” brand of complaint humor:
The dog is up to something, hmm?
