Thanks to dollarbill for this Oy-Ewww from Argyle Sweater:
dollarbill’s comment: “I wonder if he brags about his gross income?”
See also the posts in Random Comments and Site Comments on his idea for a structured-commenting game. (Please respond there, not so much here.)
And now, a mini-fest of Bizarro!!
The bottom one, with the Motley Crüet, has been given Prof. Zwicky’s detail treatment!.
A trifecta from Andréa:
Andréa asks “and wasn’t there another ‘outlet’ one I sent?” The answer is Yes, and we saw it last week, but why not an echo?:
A Meta-OY from Andréa:
Greedy for layers of pun, I almost wanted to see a ‘c’ in place of the ‘k’ — to reflect that they are drawn to look quite cute! And we would of course still recognize them as sharcs.
A reminder that it’s prime grilling season!
It’s also an excuse to listen to some B B King:
From Andréa, who says “I see it as more of an OY . . . flippin’ in all its meanings”
(This is under the “not really a pun but word play in general” tag.)
Thanks to Andréa for this Bizarro:
I’m sure I’ve seen this joke used before, but not whether that means this is a repeat or just that the joke has occurred to others. A cursory search does find other examples, and tempting as it is to make a whole post out of three or four of them, let’s leave it at that.
From Andréa:
Just a bit corny.
And a little Oy-Ewww on the side.
Let’s get this one out there for your speculations before Wayno’s blog appears on the weekend!
Funny just for the absurdity of it.
Thanks to Ken Berkun for this next one.
Oh, is this how it works?
(Sequence of two so far.)
This took me a minute, as I don’t often use “home” for a physical house, the building.
For anyone not familiar with the comic, the character on the right, Lyndon, is a psychiatrist or therapist. So Freudian slips are like his stock in trade. But there is something funny in how this patient or client responds to the “Say again?” with an almost-repetition and not acknowledging he has made a correction.
An excellent OY that also had me at least chuckling out loud.
(But I have to confess I don’t know who the guy on the right is. I hope his identity wasn’t another part of the joke.)
Thanks to Rob for these next two OYs (and some hard-to-classify strips coming up elsewhere on the site):
I guess I’m wrong here — I would have said this doesn’t work unless he actually says “Heckuva” (variation possible for the c and/or k, but the v obligatory). But the crowd at GoComics seemed to take it in stride.
And a Sandal Synchronicity:
Comics I Don't Understand
