One ingredient in marshmallows is gelatin, which is derived from various and sundry parts of animals — mostly sundry — though not, as a lot of people (including Leigh Rubin) believe, cows’ hooves.

Well yes, the premise is factually accurate, but what’s the joke here?

I’d be lying if I said I understood this one

Cidu Bill on Dec 27th 2010

Timothy Carignan sent me this one as an Arlo candidate. I can see where it could be interpreted that way. I can also see an interpretation that isn’t even remotely Arloworthy, but doesn’t really work as a gag.

Actually, even what I think is the Arlo explanation doesn’ really work for me.

Oh hell, let’s just cut to the chase and say I don’t understand this one. Probably. Continue Reading »

Not that anybody asked me for my opinion, but…

This made me laugh, but I think it would have worked even better without the father’s thought bubble, the kid’s crossed fingers, and the caption: the puzzled obviously-criminal father would have been enough.

Judge Judy and Lemons

Cidu Bill on Jul 19th 2010

Elyrest: [July 14] “Arctic Circle & One Big Happy are going to Judge Judy. Two Lumps & Rubes are learning what to do with lemons. Now if we could just get Judge Judy to drink the tequila lemonade we’d all be better off.”

Mitch: This ought to be something of an Ewww, but actually it was for me just amusing. Maybe you need to be more of a maple syrup fan to be bothered by it.

El Día de los Muertos

Cidu Bill on Nov 19th 2009

Three people sent in this trio: Elyrest (”I know that the Grim Reaper/Death is used in comics all the time, but a triple whammy today made me stop and think. Are Rubes, Reality Check and Strange Brew trying to tell me something?”), Laurie Wylie (”I checked the calendar to make sure there wasn’t some new holiday I hadn’t heard of…”), and Nicole.
