Sunday Funnies, LOLs – February 23, 2025

Chemgal sent this in as an OY, but we’d already posted it as a LOL. They’re probably right, but it was already here. :)

This reminds me of those ads for PCs in the 1980s, when the first CGA monitors became practical. The ads would proudly show a pie chart, illustrating that the monitor would display colors and could draw a nearly perfect circle. The humor of those ads for me is (1) how many users would ever make a pie chart, and (2) pie charts are seldom the best way to show data.

And another Argyle Sweater, this one from Targuman.

If you enjoyed that one, you may already know about the “Peccavi” incident.

The movie on which this joke is based was released in 1977: 47 years ago. Ordinarily, that would qualify for a Geezer tag.

Catch the reference — a twofer one deal

Here are two suggestions from Targuman, not very similar except that in both getting the joke depends on catching a cultural reference. Not entirely a geezerish enterprise, either — yes, both have roots in the sixties or before, but at least one is still in use in contemporary “intellectual properties”.

“Andy”?? How about Johnny and Henry? (Okay, yes, we know why. But strictly speaking it’s a mistake.)

So, some confusion between Nirvana and reincarnation / transmigration of souls?

Hit me again, dealer!

Oy-Ewww

Just in case anyone here had some doubt, “Himalayan” is indeed a recognized breed of cat. My mother had a cat named Hillary, and some people thought that name was in honor of a prominent American politician; but in fact he was a Himalayan cat, and named for Sir Edmund Hillary. Here is a picture of the breed:

Not really an OY, but then tax filings aren’t due until Tuesday, April 18.

Getting triple duty from one little affix!

Since this is announced as dealing with puns, how could we pass it up?

Interesting – the cartoonist doesn’t actually show us the missing word, which must combine raccoon and centaur.
