Wow, the last two Sundays were on the holidays, so there were a lot of LOLs people saw but we didn’t have the right place to post yet. And now …
A bit of synchronicity in my GoComics feed suits this post to a T.
Yep, that should have more cat-appeal than pizza.
And can’t let it go without a last-minute Zack!
You get to vote here: is the cat giving money to Big Ornament to pay for replacements, or is Big Ornament paying the cat for breaking ornaments, so they need replacement?
This is fine! But tickles the memory cells – haven’t we recently seen a cartoon with just about the same joke?
Sent in anonymously, with the suggestion that the last balloon coulda/shoulda been printed on a single line.
A blatant case of obnoxious literalism
The LOL-Yikes (horror) that you were promised, with a dollop of fourth-wall.
And haven’t we been seeing a lot of the Potato Head family of late?
Thanks to dollarbill for this Oy-Ewww from Argyle Sweater:
dollarbill’s comment: “I wonder if he brags about his gross income?”
See also the posts in Random Comments and Site Comments on his idea for a structured-commenting game. (Please respond there, not so much here.)
And now, a mini-fest of Bizarro!!
The bottom one, with the Motley Crüet, has been given Prof. Zwicky’s detail treatment!.
To anyone who might have a birthday this year, Happy Birthday!
This is one that takes up a bunch of hyphenate tags. It’s a LOL-Meta-4thWall with a geezerish allusion to a story (urban legend) you just have to know to make it clear….
Would this hyena might benefit from checking Comics I Don’t Understand?
This Rhymes With Orange LOL is from Alan Smithee.
UPDATE
Let’s see if this image is any cleaner
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?
Moon hits a double today:
But come to think of it, why would Connie be surprised at any of the elements of Jeremy’s forefront concerns as depicted? These are the interests he manifests in waking life as well.
It turns out they had a whole dinosaur-themed series; so this one may lose some of the charm of the Stegosaurus showing up in the conversation out of nowhere.
I was just tickled by the key idea here, of ironic and non-ironic being explicit seating options.
This may be a word-play comic, but it was seen too late to get in the Saturday New YOy collection.
And hot off the presses!
Thanks for this to Phil Smith III.
And as Phil pointed out, Dan Piraro’s blog and/or newsletter contained long and explicit explanations of this cartoon. So it would be best if CIDU readers who have seen those discussions hold off on correcting too soon the mistakes he explains.
