Sunday Funnies, LOLs – April 6, 2025

JMcAndrew sends this in: “I believe the object on the left is an old style computer. I’ve spent longer than I care to admit contemplating the mechanics of how this “affair” might happen.”

This might be filed under “jokes that don’t work well anymore”. At the time this was done (1987), this would be hard. Now, linking computers to TVs is ubiquitous in several ways, most obviously via HDMI, which dates from the early 2000s. There’s some history of HDMI here: https://blog.solidsignal.com/tutorials/sordid-history-hdmi-revised-updated/

Parenting isn’t quite what it used to be, either (or, as JMcAndrew suggested, this deserves an Arlo tag).

And: would Alice’s condition be covered by United Healthcare?

Tony sends this one in, which began as a CIDU: “as I was writing this realized that the punchline was about a nose job. It didn’t even notice the change at first. I guess not having a nose must be pretty miserable, but I couldn’t even tell that sphinx was supposed to be a living creature.”

Ziggy Goes to the Movies

JMcAndrew sends this one in: “There’s a new Disney Snow White movie in the theater today and although I haven’t seen it yet I don’t think it’s going to be X-Rated. Also I want to point out that if you look really closely under the banner that says “X-rated” you can see the feet of the dwarves who are apparently participating in an orgy. … I think Ziggy himself is a “little person” so maybe he is just going to see it out of a sense of solidarity.”

Earl who??

From JMcAndrew:

Are we supposed to know who this person is that has a giant memorial outhouse topped with a giant statue? It appears to be more like a mausoleum made out of stone.

Indeed…and no, Tha Goog doesn’t know who Earl J. Suggins was, either.

This editor’s guess is that this falls into the “This is vaguely silly and therefore funny because I have to turn in a cartoon for tomorrow and I got nuttin’ else” category.
