A clever LOL-OY-CIDU from Keith Knight.

The CIDU aspect is not anything deeply puzzling, but let’s just ask how long it took you to see how the bananas got into the discourse.

From Andréa, who points out for the synchronicity inspectors that although the Knight Life is a rerun or classic, its appearance on GoComics was 2022/11/08, same as the Candorville. The Candorville is a pretty good LOL at the end, too, despite edging up kinda near to partisan politics.
(Post-posting edit: As noted in comments, the following was the intended Knight Life, which actually uses the phrase “I can’t believe”.)
And for some additional fun on the “Can’t believe it” topic, Andréa also sends a link for this scene from The Vicar of Dibley. Impressive memory and facility from Emma Chambers, playing Alice.
A mordant bit of meta.
Are all of them possible “jumpers” in their own contexts?
Here’s that Sad-LOL promised in the Tags.
And from DollarBill, a Fusco Brothers LOL with some Meta or 4thWall aspects:
Each has something like a pun from basketball terminology.
(Repeated last week from 9/6 thru 9/11 in 2010.)
Well, there’s a good OY on the left, and a good LOL on the right, and I’m feeling too lazy to get out the cropper, so let’s print it twice, once today, and once yesterday or tomorrow.
“Told him where to go …”
Middle school favorite: “You’ve got a point there …. But you could hide it under a hat!”
Do they have something backwards, tho?
Hmm, the status as an OY may be slightly dubious, but it’s worth it.
“This explains a lot” says Stan:
From Andréa:
But he still gets a lot of “Oh yeah? What did it use to be?”.
“To Serve Man”.
(Color version posted by Andréa in comments to Oh Deer Me thread!)
School for gifted neonates!
Never runs out.
A LOL-Eww from Bob Ball.
“Who will you be wearing to the awards?”
Of course, the way Keith draws his character, the “guns” couldn’t possibly mean “bulging biceps” — but the “drawn” is still the operative pun.
She’s one of the Rainy Day Women #s 12 and 35
Have you any Blagues?
An OY-LOL. All three -less words are real, though fernless doesn’t have any common use beyond “lacking a fern”.
Umm, oy … no comment!
From Andréa.
An Oy-Meta!
Th-th-that’s all folks!
Or isss it??
Submitted by Andréa. The Big Picture is off by a few days, but the other two appeared Monday.
No great shock: The Knight Life showed up exactly three weeks after this.
