He’s taking away a dead cat in a cat carrier? Is that it?

Cidu Bill on Feb 28th 2013

(in which case, what is he saying to him?)

(and no, the previous strips were all one-off gags, so there’s no context to be had here)

Bats

Is there any logic in making this reference about a team that not only hits well year after year, but is famous for doing so?

Now, if you wanted to make a reference to not being able to get a runner in from third base with nobody out, that would be another matter: but this makes less sense than claiming that all New Yorkers wear black.

Yeah, this is me at every large family gathering

I remember a few years back ending up in a long discussion with my uncle’s cousin’s life partner, he was asking about my kids, the whole works, and then having to semi-discreetly ask around to figure out who this guy was.

What eggzactly are they talking about?

Cidu Bill on Feb 25th 2013

If Green Boa is saying he ate an egg, that must have been one hell of an egg, based on the size of the bump.

And what’s the joke here?

What Happened to Today’s LOL Collection?

Cidu Bill on Feb 24th 2013

No idea. It never went online, and it’s not still in the queue. I even checked to see whether I’d accidentally dated it “February 24, 2012,” but it’s not there either. It’s just… gone.

This has to be IBB’s fault somehow…

Any identity thieves out there who’d like a completed copy of somebody’s mortgage application?

Cidu Bill on Feb 19th 2013

Yup, somebody attached it to an e-mail to Idiot Bill Bickel, at the address he gives out.

I’ve long since accepted the fact that IBB is a complete moron: what startles me now is that when I inform his clients that they’ve sent me their personal information because they’re working with a man to whom the concept of e-mail is far too complex, they are apparently unconcerned.

I really have to assume there’s a community in Seattle entirely populated by immigrants from Chelm.

And seriously, nothing personal C&H Guys, but… Worst Obama Ever! I’m artistically challenged, and even I’d know to put big ears on the guy.

And while we’re on the topic, this reminds me why John McCain should be thankful he lost in 2008: looking at how much four years on the job has aged Obama, a young healthy guy when he started, if there any possibility McCain would survived?
