Saturday Morning OYs – February 3rd, 2024

Love that Monty Crisco! (But I don’t know what typo on Nesselrode Pie would be likely, or funny.)







Always go for consistency!

And a P.S. from B.C.


He tries just about every day, so why not give in and post one now and then.


Growing up, I knew only two pasta shapes: spaghetti, for spaghetti and meatballs, and macaroni, for macaroni and cheese. Imagine my surprise to find such an endless variety of shapes coming out of the extruder. And tortellini! And soba! And rice noodles! Now there’s chickpea pasta, etc. It’s a wide, wild world out there.

Just pasta these comics is a place to comment on your own favorite shape/type.


A synchronicity here, with two Dante-themed comics on the same day. What a Paradiso!


Saturday Puns & Sunday Funnies – OYs & LOLs, November 12th, 2023

This gets extra tags — some kinda Meta for not using the standard joke set up in panel 1, and some kinda Geezer warning for those youngsters who don’t see something familiar behind “Killjoy was here”.





Maybe. My local newspaper (Chicago Tribune) has become an indistinct shadow of its former self, and the comics are shrunken and in black and white.


Despite the “(Not a CIDU)” category applied to this post as a whole, this item may take a bit of concentration and research before you can join in saying “Oh, I’ve got it completely decoded now!”.


There will be no arguing over whether this is truly a “meta” comic!



We think this is a rerun; but if so, then it falls into “an oldie but goodie”.



Here’s the funny-sad one promised in the category tags.

BTW, do they have a walkie-talkie set, or is that a quite old-school cell phone?


Romance???

Not everybody has the right idea about romance.



Even a mechanical heart can be stirred by love:


This was published on GoComics as the 19 December 2022 comic. Now, where’s that calculator that can tell me how many days between that date and today?




I don’t entirely understand, why is this strip treating the “valentines for everyone” as a recent school practice. Geezers will recognize it from, gosh, the 1950s…

Obligatory topic

Okay, it’s Resolutions…

Luann


“This year we’ll turn it around” counts as a resolution in my book!

Crabgrass
Adam@Home Comic
Half Full
Mike Du Jour
Wallace the Brave

Maybe IDU that one?


Nancy: still looking for loopholes after all these years (and cartoonists!)


Sunday Funnies – LOLs, October 16th, 2022

This may be a case of two overfamiliar clichés combining to give a cynical chuckle.



A couple for those of you counting steps. These were also a synchronicity.




A new twist!


Smells like Teen Senior Spirit

Is it just the contradiction between using shampoo and being bald-adjacent?

But that would mean accepting Ed’s [maroon pullover] explanation at face value, which Green Cardigan clearly does not.

P.S. If your phone or tablet is not showing the title with a strikeout, it is supposed to have “Teen” in strikethru. By using HTML5 tag “del” .

They just don’t quit with the puns over at Mannequin on the Moon!

Is it a Geezer factoid to remember the term for this particular form of standing arm-wrestling?

(Far Side handled as link only, not copied nor embedded.)

Is a Spoonerism necessarily a pun? Maybe not, but it can still be an Oy!
