Comics I Don’t Understand

Chair

Cidu Bill on Jan 15th 2010

Janice Rey: I don’t get why Dilbert yells “chair!” Or maybe I do - are the focus group participants throwing a chair at the observation window?

New Year’s Eve Time Zone Synchronicity

Cidu Bill on Dec 31st 2009

Eh, not really a great bit of synchronicity, I guess. Though as long as I’m here, I was wondering… Do any west-coast parents let their younger kids watch the Times Square ball fall at 9pm local time, convince the young’uns that they’ve stayed up until midnight, and then herd them into bed?

Elyrest: Here’s one to throw into your New Year’s Eve Time Zone Synchronicity. It even deals with the ball falling in another time zone. The strip’s “Home and Away”

The Arlo Hypothesis

Cidu Bill on Apr 27th 2009

Presumably he’s enjoying this a lot more than having Dogbert stand on his penis…

Can You Hear Me Now?

Cidu Bill on Apr 26th 2009

Morris Keesan: The first two panels are fairly typical for a strip involving Dogbert, but I don’t get the last panel at all. Is it just that Dogbert is “in Dilbert’s face”? Or is he standing on Dilbert’s penis?

We’re Men and Mammals

Cidu Bill on Jan 7th 2009

A whole lot of people sent me this one. Presumably he means that since he’s a mammal, he can regulate his body heat. Thank you, Mrs. Erenberg. But the sonar reference is a mystery unless he’s implying that she’s a reptilian bat, which isn’t really much of a joke and only proves that my fourth grade teacher was better than his fourth grade teacher.

Package Tour

Cidu Bill on Dec 1st 2008

Morris Keesan: ArLOL… I was going to say that I didn’t really laugh out loud at this one, more snorted, but in this context the word “snort” may be a bit ambiguous.

It’s the Berries

Cidu Bill on Mar 23rd 2008

Solar Rhino: I get that Dilbert has been restored… but by berry juice? By the placebo version of berries? Either way, why was the woman disappointed that it worked? If she didn’t want it to work, why give it to him in the first place?

Groceries

Cidu Bill on Jan 30th 2008

Okay, this is one of those “comic strip character gets angry for reasons I can’t remotely understand” strips: She said the card gives him discounts. He says he’ll be paying the same as he’d pay in the grocery store across the street. Does he think she’s lying about the discounts, or is he shopping in a store that simply charges more for everything to begin with and if so, how stupid does that make him? On the other hand if he has good reasons for shopping at a more expensive supermarket (better produce, for example), then the fact that the card might reduce the prices to those of the grocery store across the street is still a good thing.
