Okay, they can have one now and then!
Two driving comics that arrived in my email inbox on the same 06 September delivery. (The Zack Hill was one in a series about Jan’s assignment to anger management school.)
For a while this felt like it should go somewhere in the “All we needed was the first panel” family of picky categorizations. But then it turns out I would have entirely missed the extra pun, were it not for the final panel telling us exactly what we were missing!
… as a commenter said.
But in what way exactly is the friend Henri-Lee suggesting the mockingbird is responsible?
Also sent in by Chak, who wonders if there might be some pop cultural reference she’s not getting.
Continuing the metaphor: orange traffic cones are like the Legos strewn around the floor for the enjoyment of our feet. Potholes are teenage acne. Tickets are tuition bills.
A little cross-strip banter –
Hey, I don’t care that it’s been debunked, we can still have jokes based on it!
Same words each time … Is it the same joke?
Keep doing variations on a theme, and sooner or later you’ll hit on one the fans don’t remember!
Have you seen the meme about the Welsh translation service?
Is the shell the choice spot for petting a tortoise?
Quite the wily allusion.
But only on condition they walk in together.
Geezer Alert!
This is the LOL-Weird entry for the week. Bizarro in more than name alone!
Thanks to Grawlix and Chemgal for suggesting this artist:
Here’s the LOL-Aww promised in the tags.
Oh sure, because she means, uh, um, …?
Yep, that’s what I thought she meant too! Did anyone here not think that first?
Such a nice use of expressive objects.
BTW, if you are looking for a great read, try The Wager. There’s also a long excerpt in The New Yorker a few months back.
This was a CIDU for me for a couple minutes. And I’m still not sure of the intended idea.
BTW, is a clock a standard part of Twister play?
Thanks to Maggie-the-Cartoonist for this Loose Parts LOL:
I don’t know whether this is supposed to be the joke / the point of the cartoon, but I think it’s definitely a brilliant choice to have the meeting for the road-ragers take place safely online!
This is maybe a bit of a CIDU now?
Also a bit unclear?

It’s almost clear and obvious – turns out the loud / parent.disturbing / teen-typical music booming thru the speakers is not what Zack is listening to thru the already-donned headphones. Because instead, he is hearing. . . what, exactly?
