Saturday Morning OYs – May 31, 2025

Boise Ed sends this in.

Flagging the third one as a comic fan’s OY, but need to do two earlier ones in the series as a setup:

Mitch4 sends this in:

And while we’re on the subject of Freud, Mitch4 also sends this:

Freud’s unconscious cravings had more to do with sex, if I recall correctly, but there are other unconscious cravings.

JMcAndrew sends this in: “Why does he have the giant poster of a fly to begin with? Is he going to start eating anything vaguely associated with fruit? This isn’t a comic I normally read.”

It’s a miracle!

JMcAndrew sends a set of related cartoons:

The last two are obviously just different versions of the same joke from the same cartoonist, even if they’re 14 1/2 years apart. I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing or not.

These all remind me of an axiom I was taught long ago as a relationship test: Have lunch at your prospective partner’s house and ask for mayonnaise. If they present Miracle Whip–especially if they aren’t even apologetic about it–RUN.

Miracle Whip is to mayonnaise as carob is to chocolate. As someone else once wrote, “Carob is not an acceptable substitute for chocolate. It is not an acceptable substitute for anything except, perhaps, brown shoe polish.”

Sunday Funnies – LOLs – April 13, 2025

We haven’t actually seen a star fall in since we invented telescopes, but I have a list of ones I’m really hoping are next.

The opposite of gravity is levity, so of course it’s okay to laugh at black holes.

Is it possible cartoonist Randal Monroe has been watching Philomena Cunk’s mockumentaries?

Sunday Funnies, LOLs – March 2, 2025

Background: Amazon, controlled by bald billionaire Jeff Bezos, now owns the Bond movie franchise.

This reminds me of this video from Dr. Glaucomflecken:

[Yes, he is actually a doctor licensed in the US, and has some serious YouTube videos related to his specialty (ophthalmology), but he has a bigger audience for his comedy.]

Saturday Morning OYs – March 1, 2025

Boise Ed submits this one: “I get the Area 51 gag, but the name panel’s secondary gag (“All tea served with a saucer”) eludes me.”

It seems to pair nicely with panel one here:

JMcAndrew sends this in: “I spent more time than I care to admit contemplating how the mechanics of this relationship would possibly work and how a sandwich would be the end result.”

Well, just look at Mr Peanut. You can see he’s well bread!

Sunday Funnies, LOLs – February 16, 2025

Boise Ed sends in this one:

Dan Sachs sends this in as a partial CIDU, wondering “Is that an asterisk? Where is the footnote?”

So, another upgrade on the GoComics website. It’s a bit mean to post this as an LOL, but it seems like every time GoComics “upgrades” there are problems. I remember after one “upgrade” Comic Sherpa (a showcase for new comic authors) was promised to return “soon”, but never did and was eventually abandoned. In recent weeks, some Barney and Clyde comics have been missing dialogue, even though they show up fine on Arcamax. But we can hope this “upgrade” will be less glitchy.

That email to subscribers mentions that the cost will be going up to $35/yr, although they are holding the price for 1 year for existing subscribers at $20.

UPDATE: As if on cue, GoComics does it again today (Feb 16):

At the same time, Arcamax has the entire comic:
