Happy Father’s Day!
It took me years to learn not to say this, even though I like a wide variety of teas.
Why scientists marry late.
Mark H. sends this in: “Totally unexpected response.”
More Cultural References I Don’t Get
I’m not that familiar with this actor’s work. What’s this referring to?
But wait! There’s more! Not a synchronicity because I saw these a couple of days apart, but nearly the same joke, and I definitely don’t get this one, either.

He’s gonna need a bigger raft.
JMcAndrew sends this in: “Firstly writing a memo asking for a tooth check is still pretty insane. Wouldn’t this be called an oral or dental exam and be performed by an actual dentist?
Also this isn’t what I expected a toot check to be. This could have been a much more interesting comic if they had the platoon taking turns farting in his face. [probably wouldn’t have made it past the comics editors then -ed.]
Maybe this is why the US army has a mandatory retirement age of 64 for senior officers?”
Ah, but those of us who worked in any bureaucrazy are well aware of something apparently nonsensical coming down from above. Is that really what they meant? Should we just do it as requested, or kick it back up for clarification? How many times can you question the bureaucrazy without getting labelled as a troublemaker?
There’s no Business Like Snow Business
billr sends this in, a bit late in the season for snowman comics: “I got nothing.”
Some hints here.

Not really OYs, but timely:
Warning
Dirk the Daring poses this question to us: “All I want to know is whether it was the dog that gave the warning or the wife that gave the warning.”
The New Yorker Looks at the Environment
A few New Yorker cartoons from just after the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970.
Remember, you can use the link at the left (or here) to submit a CIDU to our kind, generous and handsome editorial staff.

We can’t entirely ignore Easter!
This may have been posted on a previous Easter. If so, it’s doubly a zombie comic.
Celebrating the end of tax season:
Toe MAY toe, Toe MAH toe
Posting the author’s Facebook post with his cartoon, just to show if you don’t get it, you’re not alone.
