The Truth About Cats and Dogs

Cidu Bill on Mar 24th 2010

This was a back-to-back-on-the-comics-page synchronicity for me, with the added bonus that I didn’t understand either of them.

Okay, I’m fairly sure the joke here is that he’s trying to pay for the inflight magazine (though why would it be in the airport shop or have a price on it?) — but the more important question is… Last week, Guy said/promised/threatened that he’d write me into a comic. Is that the story behind “Idiot Bill”??

And speaking of irony…

We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, Isn’t that ironic? -Sarah Palin

Okay, as far as I can tell, she is using the word “ironic” correctly — so she gets points for that even as she loses points for bad sentence structure — but given her strong opposition to any federally run health care (”Obama’s socialized medicine and death panels”), what’s her actual point here?

Is it ironic that I’m posting this on a Saturday morning?

Cidu Bill on Mar 20th 2010

I don’t believe the extra panel adds anything to this.

LOL Synchronicity — Sort Of

Cidu Bill on Mar 17th 2010

Morris Keesan sent me this one as a LOL

not for the comic itself, but for the meta-text (”The typical internet user (who wants to share) has an IQ of 147 and a
9-inch penis. Well, better than the reverse, I guess”) — which ties into some of the comments about the Arlo Crime News posted here a few hours ago.

Relativity

Cidu Bill on Mar 16th 2010

Last night, the cashier at Fuddrucker’s took it upon herself to give me — several years prematurely — a senior citizen discount. I realized it made sense in a way: she seemed to be about 12 years old, and I guess the younger you are, the more likely you are to overestimate the age of somebody who’s a few decades older.

But later on it occurred to me… isn’t it equally true that the older you get, the more likely you are to think that the Fuddrucker’s cashier looks like a 12-year-old?
