He Probably Didn’t Even Offer Her Beads

Nicole: I get what Jimmy Johnson is getting at here, initially Arlo is looking forward to the “Baywatch Effect”. What I don’t understand is why he is still smiling in the last panel ? As anyone who has ever worn a sports bra can tell you, it has two effects, it flattens and does not allow for a lot of jiggle — the later is the point of wearing one. So … having been denied the “Baywatch Effect” shouldn’t Arlo be frowning in the last panel ? 

As an aside … if you post this, I’ll bet the Seinfeld ‘bro’ episode comes up.

Elias Peter: I’m not sure why Daryl would be disappointed in getting a useful tool as a gift. Shouldn’t this be remembered as a landmark moment when two spouses exchanged perfectly reasonable gifts?

Let’s Have a Show of Hands for Sarah Palin

Cidu Bill on Feb 15th 2010

Okay, this is a reference to Sarah Palin apparently relying on notes written on her hand when she gave a recent speech; but what’s with Diane and Angela?

Cards

Is there a country anywhere on this planet — with the possible exception of Themyscira — where men don’t spend more money on Valentine’s Day cards than women do?

While I can understand his concern, I’m not seeing the actual joke here. This comic appeared, by the way, before Zach invented the “bonus panel”

Mailing Address

Cidu Bill on Feb 11th 2010

Just a reminder that it’s been almost 2 years since I stopped using the cidumay2004@yahoo.com e-mail address. For a while I was still checking that mailbox regularly. Then not-so-regularly. I checked it again this afternoon after about 6 months, and found a bunch of submissions, many with expired links.

Please note the new address, which is a gmail address using the full name of this site (and how annoying is it to have to go through these verbal gymnastics in order to outsmart the spambots?).

As long as I’ve got your attention, when you’re submitting a comic, it would be most helpful if you both give me a link to it, and attach it — because sometimes attachments don’t survive the trip, and sometimes links don’t work. Just for the record, if you send me a link that contains rbma.com, it will not work.

And if you’re new here, please glance at the FAQ before sending anything or responding to a post.

Nathan Sanborn Has Snow Idea What This Means

Cidu Bill on Feb 11th 2010

Nathan’s best guess is that this has something to do with Groundhog’s Day (the day this comic was published). I’m thinking the joke has something to do with the Jerry McGuire reference. I think we’re both in agreement that neither of us is right.

When Political Cartoons Get Snowed Under

Cidu Bill on Feb 10th 2010

dig.png

Okay, personally… I found this amusing until I saw the “debt” caption in the snow. and that was just too much going on at once. If they’d just shown Obama trying to dig his way out of the snow (debt) without the elephant and his comments, that would have made a valid and timely point — but as it stands, there are two different cartoons here, pushing against one another.
As always, your results may vary.
