Return of the Synchronicity

Darth Vader in two stunningly arbitrary comics today (I was amused by both of them, though in truth I have no idea what’s going on in the first one)

Morris Keesan: What exactly was she hoping for? And what was she going to do with it if it weren’t a scarecrow?

Spoiler

Cidu Bill on Mar 8th 2011

(I’m assuming the name itself isn’t part of the gag, but is simply the name of Guy’s garbageman or somesuch)

Personal synchronicity here: I’m reading Packing For Mars, and today I was reading the chapter about the first monkeys in space.

Yesterday, to mark the 3000th post since CIDU moved to this new format in 2008 (of course, it had been around for a dozen years before that; good lord, I’ve been at this for almost fifteen years???), I asked you to guess which comic strips had been most heavily represented here over those 3000 posts.

According to my count, and most of you guessed this, number 1 is Arlo and Janis, with 181 appearances.

Number 2 surprised me a little: Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, with 163.

Argyle Sweater came in third with 123, a great many of those probably falling in the Ewww Files.

Guy & Rodd were number 4 with Brevity (108).

Rounding out the top five was Off the Mark (84), with F-Minus close behind (81).

Sunglasses???

Cidu Bill on Jan 31st 2011

Morris Keesan, one of several people sending this to me, wondered “Is this one of those where Guy said something over the phone and Rodd totally misheard him?”
