Comics I Don’t Understand

Hey Hey

Cidu Bill on Dec 14th 2009

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?

CIDShmoo

Cidu Bill on Dec 7th 2009

Several suggested this comic for the Geezers tag. Of course, the question here is how Caufield was able to identify (and date) the L’il Abner strip so easily. Oh, and “Back up a frame” could use a bit of explaining, thank you.

Shazam!

Cidu Bill on Nov 4th 2009

Nicole nominated this one for a double Geezer award: “Gomer Pyle was canceled (cough cough) forty years ago in 1969, and the Longest Day was a movie that came out in 1962. Was the plan to make sure half of the population did not get the comic?”

Horse of a Different Decade

Cidu Bill on Sep 4th 2009

So… Does this make sense to anybody who isn’t, you know, approaching geezerhood?

Every Geezer Here Sent Me This One as a ”Geezer Strip”

Cidu Bill on Aug 18th 2009

A few weeks ago, my 16-year-old son came out of his room wearing an unbuttoned sweater-vest over a t-shirt. I greeted him with, “Hey, Ralphie boy!” and my wife laughed and he looked at us as if we were from Mars. But that’s okay, because we’re used to it.

Would You Like To Play a Game?

I have been assured by my teenage sons that this does not qualify for the “Hey Geezers! Comics!” tag.

What Would You Do For an Argyle Sweater?

Cidu Bill on Jun 11th 2009

This was LOL material for both Nicole and myself, but we also both wondered: Are these commercials still running, or is this also “Hey Geriatrics! Comics!” material?

Is Davan Old Enough to Think of This?

Cidu Bill on May 21st 2009

Unless I’m convinced otherwise, this one gets “Hey Geriatrics! Comics!” honors. Most readers under “a certain age” — and Davan — might be aware of who Kunta Kinte was, but that’s a far cry from this particular scene coming immediately to mind.

What ever happened to Roots anyway? Seems like it won all those awards, spawned some sequels, then just disappeared from sight. You’d think it would at least get repeated in syndication somewhere during Black History Month or something…

Wladziu Talkin’ About?

Cidu Bill on May 12th 2009

Okay, my best guess is that Scott Hilburn drew this in 1959 and he just came across it in the back of his desk drawer.

Nota Bene

Cidu Bill on May 6th 2009

Monwhea Jeng:I’m not sure this is a CIDU, since I sort of get what the joke is supposed to be. I’m just curious if makes any sense. Do kids nowadays refer to texting in class as “passing notes”?

No. We’ll have to use the Hey Geriatrics! Comics! tage for this one -Bill

Hey Geriatrics! Condors!

Nicole: El Condor Pasa is one of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs, but would many people under the age of forty recognize it? Rick is definitely showing his age in this Soup to Nutz

Hey Geriatrics! Comics!

Cidu Bill on Mar 11th 2009

I guess it’s time to start up a special section for comic strips that aren’t likely to be understood by anybody who isn’t, well, old enough to remember those Hey Kids! Comics! signs
