Does this count as a LOL or an EWW?

I see what you did there.

Oh Jeez Bill — and MrKenneth is worried about the “I Guess Caulfield Will Have to Think of Something Else This Year” discussion turning political ?????

So is this a CIDU, LOL, Ewww, or another site owner publishing their political bias?

Anyone who has been around CIDU know that politics rears it head every now and then — were you here for the New Yorker Cover discusssion ??????

It’s Aquaman. He, er, “fertilized” a fish. But what’s the doctor’s funny hat?

@Fried - Fish eggs are also known as “roe”. It is a pun, a terrible *terrible* pun.

Okay, I see the Roe on the table - but I thought Aquaman didn’t Wade all that much - mostly swims in deep water IIRC.

KR, that’s the doctor’s comb over, not a funny hat

Aquaman fathered some fish but they didn’t hatch yet. The lawyer is suggesting that Aquaman prevent the eggs from hatching by eating them, thereby destroying the evidence. Of course, the lawyer could also be trapping Aquaman into being charged with murder and destruction of evidence.
P.S. After rethinking this, I find it possible that the lawyer is offering to eat the eggs himself. I would need previous dialogue between the characters to know which scenario was accurate.

othiym23 and Steven are correct: There was no attempt at political comment here, only a pun I couldn’t resist at 2am

Could this be an invitation to cannibalism?

For some strange reason this discussion has lead me to think of this Monty Python sketch

Dan V, you just made the cartoon funny! Thanks!

well i was confused about it when i received it in my email from gocomics. then when i saw it here, I realized they had left off the explanatory caption “before Roe v. Wade” in the email.

If it’s caviar, that roe is already toast (so to speak) ….
David N Jun 16th 2009 at 12:17 am 17

Judging from the size of that can, he might have a tough roe to hoe.
Powers Jun 16th 2009 at 07:10 am 18

elizabeth — that’s CIDU Bill’s caption; it wasn’t written by the cartoonist.
Keera Jun 16th 2009 at 10:47 am 19

Mmmm… Caviar on toast! Norm, you just made me hungry!
