Judge Mental: The punchlines have little in common, but I think two Trojan horse comics on the same day qualifies for synchronicity.

Carl Fink: Am I missing some cultural reference? Is “celebrate” about making splashmarks on walls now?

I guess you don’t have to be an AARP member to enjoy this comic, but I don’t think you’re likely to really get the fifth panel if you’re not. And could you ever have imagined yourself, in the mid-1960s, as a member of the AARP?

Nicole: Perhaps I have a sick twisted mind — I have been told as such, but to me it appears that Obama is getting ready to give congress a proctology exam

Mitchell Marks:
Janice Rey: Definitely an EWWW for me – but I have to give Conley credit for the expression on Bucky’s face in the third panel.

Timothy Carignan: Okay, I give up. What kind of answer was he going for? For once, the dog seems the more intelligent and articulate.

Okay.. If Bucky’s not gay, I don’t get it. If Bucky is gay, I get it but I don’t get it.

L.J.:
Laurie Wylie:
Jeff Renner: Arlo or Ewww? Is this strip supposed to be about the Mae West line, “… or are you just happy to see me,” or is there some other gag and the apparent reference inadvertent? Either way, it seems weird. Is Chubby Huggs, the brown cat, supposed to be gay?

Mark J.: Ok, so Bucky hates ferrets. But given that the rest of the world doesn’t share Bucky’s anti-ferret racism, why would Rob have to start apologizing for the picture (which you can see in Tuesday’s strip)? Wouldn’t the people on his list see it as just a funny picture? Also, what’s the real joke in this strip? (I mean besides the “change” thing, which we could see coming a mile away.)

Okay, personally, I don’t generally get Fuzzy at all; sometimes, you know, a particular reader and a particular strip just don’t mesh. But Mark tells me this is a CIDU (or more accurately a CHDU), so I’m just passing along his query verbatim -Bill

Michele Sharik and Nicole sent me this for the Arlo Page. Lola Fields thought it belonged in the Ewww Files as well. Dan sent it to me because he had an issue with the term “trash drawer.” Clearly this is one of those slide-out garbage holders; perhaps Bostonians refer to them as drawers??

Pinny: I don’t really get the 1st panel (though I know that it is parodying the old line, “Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?”) And I REALLY don’t get the last panel, i.e., the punchline. Is it supposed to imply that a hairy chest a worse insult to Bucky than either monkeys or weasels?
