Sunday Funnies – LOLs – May 17, 2026


Polymarket is a prediction market — under current rules of the CFTC, technically not gambling so legal in all 50 states. It allows you to gamble (ahem, “predict” with $ at risk) on a wide variety of things. Here are some of the trending bets as I’m writing this (May 2, 2026). Note you can bet on whether Bitcoin (BTC) will go up or down in a 5 minute period. But that’s not gambling. Definitely not gambling.

Sunday Funnies – LOLs – May 10, 2026

Happy Mothers’ Day!


We’re going to lead off today with a nice Synchronicity sent in by Ian C:

Bonus panel:

The mouseover text also plugs his Patreon page.

Yes, we’ve de-emphasized synchronicities because we were getting too much clutter (really, talking animals show up every day in my feeds), but these from April 23 also qualify as LOLs, so here we are.

We definitely passed on a May 7 synchronicity in which both Reality Check and Real Life Adventures featured cat vomit.




Yorick’s absence: was it due to some skullduggery?



Cotton Gin

jmcandrew sends these in: “I didn’t realize that Eli Whitney was someone 6 year olds were familiar with. Also there’s a pretty funny Bizarro comic.”




But why GIN? Per Wikipedia, “gin” was simply short for engine in the 1700s, “cotton gin” literally meant “cotton engine,” and that name stuck far better than a functional description like “cotton seed remover.”

Still Taxing After All These Years, Schedule 1-A

Yes, this is a repeat, with some new additions — like that US tax form, which has added new complexities this year. So we’re splitting it into two parts, like Schedule 1 has become Schedule 1 and Schedule 1-A.


The short form deserves a geezer alert, as it was discontinued years ago. There’s a 1040-SR now for seniors — the only difference is that it’s printed in larger type.

It’s not going to work, Larry.

Saturday Morning OYs February 7, 2026



Boise Ed sends this in: “I couldn’t pass up submitting this as an “oy.” It’s right there in the punch line.”

An OY by definition.

(Would Apple TV be an OY by high definition?)


Mitch4 sends this in: “Yes, this pun also tickled my funny bone! (And is even a trifle topical, for the “returning to the office” news theme.)”



A nod to the Winter Olympics:


Saturday Morning OYs – December 20, 2025

Boise Ed sends this in: “This strip takes place on a space station. Florence (on the left) is a canine who has been given human-level intelligence. Her human co-worker’s advice is so right!”


Mitch4 sends this in: “Not strictly speaking a pun, but based on verbal ambiguity and misunderstanding.”



One of the copyist errors in the New Testament?
