Sunday Funnies – LOLs, April 28th, 2024

Pete sent this in. It’s also a bit of a CIDU, since wouldn’t knights in armor have metal plate on the bottom of their feet?


And here’s one sent in by Usual John, a bit more of a comic scene-rendering than a gag LOL:



In particular, local rules can cause problems. In the card game Hearts, does the jack of diamonds mean anything special? Can you dump on the first trick? In Monopoly, do you complain that the game takes too long, but put $500 on Free Parking, and allow houses to be turned in for full value? In poker, is the worst low hand A-2-3-4-6 or 2-3-4-5-7? Complain about your favorite example of local rules in the comments.


From the Ask-Me-Anything episode:




Sunday Funnies – LOLs, February 4th, 2024

TBH, this Rae the Doe isn’t really a LOL; but it needed to go in a list-post as not fully justifying a standalone daily post or even a bonus. What’s special about it is that you don’t often see a genuinely informative infographic as panel or strip of a regular comic (that is, excluding those that purport to bring you facts every day). Also, the artist’s note is endearingly unassertive, as usual (yes, she does put in notes somewhat often).






Happy Belated National Peanut Butter Day (January 24th).



BCN does Alice!



No, I kan’t make any sense of this Calvin and Hobbes:

Zippy feeling just a bit meta.


And a semi-CIDU for this same couple:

The question being: Is the guy just pushing his point by selecting a random term meant to be absurd, or else do they maybe have something (like a remote, or an ashtray, …) which is actually crafted to look like a Stegosaurus?




Why not start off Sunday with a bit of math? Roughly how old is she?

This is Frazz’s Sunday intro panel for January 7th. Mallett posts these on Facebook. Otherwise, I’d never see them because GoComics doesn’t use the intro panels, for reasons I don’t understand.





Clearing a route to the garbage (Random retro LOLs, 2019 or before, Part 3) 


The elevator call button scenario is a familiar trope for Horace :

But others are not banned from exploring a similar idea:

An OY!

Another old favorite


As so often with “Viivi and Wagner”, the thesis seems to be that men are pigs…

We weren’t going to discuss it (Random retro LOLs, 2019 or before, Part 1)










This is maybe a bit of a CIDU now?


Also a bit unclear?

A nice LOL-Ewww:


And then a nice LOL-Awwww:


And who doesn’t enjoy a good Alexa-Siri joke?




And an Ouch-LOL:

He meant to order an inflatable doll, but received an inflatable bed of nails.

P.S. A couple days later, this character and that prop re-appear; but decidedly not funny :-( .

BTW, Gocomics gives this feature filenames that look like loesp230927.jpg, clueing us that at some point they were considering it to be Life On Earth in Spanish. (The same artist does the Life on Earth comic.)


Again on the meta train.
