While Baldo occasionally makes some relevant reference to Cinco de Mayo, the holiday seems to exist (on the comics page) primarily as a vehicle for really awful puns (and I don’t mean “really awful puns” necessarily in a negative way).
Scott Hilburn has fired the first shot. If you spot anything worse, please send it to me at the usual address.

The fact that “leak” sounds like “leek” is apparently the joke here, but… what’s the joke here?

And Hilburn will probably get some angry mail once everybody else gets it.

Okay, I know (for some reason) that Fergie sang with the Black Eyed Peas (though when she first came on the scene, I confess I thought the Duchess of York had started a singing career; hey, it’s no more unreasonable than a Duchess of York becoming spokesperson for Weight Watchers); but beyond that, there’s so much going on in this strip that’s whizzing over my head…

Going through my mess of a hard drive, I came across a ton of LOLs I might or might not have posted here; so I’m going to just post all of them and then delete them from my computer and start fresh. I figure even if only a third of them are really “new,” that’s still going make a pretty good collection.

This was last Monday’s Argyle Sweater, and the same day’s “retro” Arlo and Janis. It counts. And we probably could have done without reading either of them in our newspaper while eating breakfast (assuming any of us still read newspapers; which come to think of it I do more often than I eat breakfast).
Regarding the first comic, though: the reference is to Justin Bieber throwing up twice during a recent concert. Not only don’t I see the punchline here… but to be fair, you have to give the kid some credit rather than trying to make a joke at his expense: he threw up, then went on with the show. Threw up again, tried to soldier on yet again, then finally realized he couldn’t do it. Contrast that with performers who cancel a show or cut it short after half an hour because that pesky ingrown toenail is bothering them and they just can’t “feel” the music tonight.

Julie: While I consider it to be safe for work, there is no way to explain it to a kid without going into some “adult” details.
