Another quiz-cartoon from the same feature.
Post answers however you please.
Thru a Scanner Darkly
From the New Yorker end-of-year Cartoons Issue. A two-page spread of five cartoons by Liana Finck titled “Stay-at-home Fun”, embodying puzzles or quizzes — credited, as this scan has captured, as “Puzzles by Liz Maynes-Aminzade and Andy Kravis”.
Sunday Funnies – LOLs, January 24th, 2021
Somewhat slapdash Shakespeare but what the hey?
And here is the shocking exposé!
This time the cartoon should for sure be taken on its own, and doesn’t need the Hax column.
Blow the noodles down, bullies, blow the noodles down!
Yes, we’ve heard about the recent popularity of sea shanties on Tik-Tok and other youth social media. Also the idea of musically combining sea shanties with modern rap or pop music.
All of that still leaves most of this Bliss cartoon unexplained!
Wash cycle?
We know about cycles in a washing machine but nothing about detergent wars.
Contribution from Stan.
Sunday Funnies for a new year! – LOLs, January 3rd, 2021
Is it too soon or too late for one more Santa LOL?
Bllss (and Martin) on their own and on GoComics
Bliss in the New Yorker:
We *did* crack a smile, even if not literally LOL. But no doubt this must be “a LOL comic” by virtue of subject matter!
Balloon
This would make more sense to me if the man was talking to the woman and the balloon was in her image.
Never-ending job
The job of drawing Sisyphus-related cartoons, and keeping track of them, never seems to approach an end, as noted by Arvy, who contributed these first three.
The collaboration of cartoon artist Harry Bliss with comedian Steve Martin has now resulted in a book. For those who haven’t used up their NYT views, here is a review of the book: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/11/books/steve-martin-harry-bliss-wealth-of-pigeons.html
Steve Martin wanted to make cartoons, but he can only draw stick figures. He teamed up with the illustrator Harry Bliss, and the result is their new book, “A Wealth of Pigeons.”

Sometime-NewYorker cartoonist Jason Adam Katzenstein can’t seem to let go of the Sisyphus theme! The “work at home” one also qualifies for our “pandemic-related” tag.
In addition to those from Arvy, here’s a long one from Existential Comics.

It’s a stretch
From Stan, who says I’m ‘Racking my Brain’ to work it out.
