Sunday Funnies – LOLs – October 5, 2025


The number to call is 867-5309. Jenny went to law school.





A recent New Yorker Caption Contest winner.



Definitely a Geezer Alert on this one. ASCII art was a big deal in the age of dot matrix printers and fanfold paper: printing out pinups was a rite of passage, along with “Happy Birthday” banners. These are from the ASCII art studio.



Sunday Funnies, LOLs – March 2, 2025



Background: Amazon, controlled by bald billionaire Jeff Bezos, now owns the Bond movie franchise.



This reminds me of this video from Dr. Glaucomflecken:

[Yes, he is actually a doctor licensed in the US, and has some serious YouTube videos related to his specialty (ophthalmology), but he has a bigger audience for his comedy.]



Sunday Funnies – LOLs, December 15th, 2024



Squirrel(s) have taken up residence in the attic of our condo building. Between the animal control fees, the carpentry repairs where they chewed through a dormer, and trimming the trees further away from the building, this will be an expensive endeavor. And, I have neighbors who scare away the red-tailed hawk who hangs around, so it won’t harm the squirrels. Seeing that squirrel in Whamond’s strip reminds me of a tagline of Bill’s: “GoDaddy and the Squirrel Must Both Die”.


Even in this very early Peanuts strip, Charlie Brown has found his signature style.


When you want to make sure nobody will send your comic in as a CIDU:



This is a combination Public Service Announcement and Christmas gift suggestion. My runner daughter started wearing a fiber-optic vest with chest light like Frazz is wearing a few years ago, and then got me one as a Christmas gift. They’re great for running, cycling, or walking at night. As a driver, I appreciate people who are lit up, so I can see them far ahead.



It’s that time of year again…

… and the less said about it, the better.











Finally, one bastion of sanity in a lunatic world:


P.S. All of the previous appearances of Pumpkin Spice at CIDU were posted by Bill in the Fall of 2019; three of these presented some fairly hideous pumpkin spice flavored products (some real, some fictitious); click on the link if you are interested in seeing them. (Please note that the whole “pumpkin spice” collection will be presented in reverse chronological order, so you will have to scroll down past this one to get to Bill’s “spicy” material.)

P.P.S.Edit: both links have been corrected, thanks to deety!

Boise Ed submitted this Cornered panel, commenting: “What a great put-down!


P.S. A German flasher would hope she says: “That’s gross!
P.P.S. To which he would then reply: “Dankeschön!


F.Y.I.: Is everyone is already prepared for the upcoming holiday(s)?


How to tell a fruit from a vegetable:



Your attitude towards caramelizing may depend on whether you’re the one who does the dishes. Similarly with dishes such as tahdig, “a beautiful, pan-fried Persian rice that is fluffy and buttery on the inside with a perfectly golden crust, which is the layer at the bottom of the pot.” — if you make it right. The first few times might not produce “a perfectly golden crust”.


And we couldn’t leave without a couple of nods to autumn.

The character in the leaf pile is Wallace’s mom:


This one’s from 1962, when leaf burning was still a tradition:


Lobstering

Thanks to Chipper42 for sending this in:

They say “I assume he ran into the lobster traps on purpose. I really don’t follow the last panel.”

CIDU QUEUE REMINDER

As always — but it needs saying explicitly again now and then — we like to think of this as a heavily reader-participation site, and not just for your invaluable (or anyhow amusing) comments, but for suggestions of comics to run and discuss.

Please share your specific suggestions of panels or strips, in CIDU, LOL, OY, and CIHS (Comic I Haven’t Seen) categories, either by direct email to

(that’s “CIDU dot Submissions” at gmail dot com) or by using the handy-dandy Suggest A CIDU form page! Just as Chipper42 did!
