Quasi

Cidu Bill on Jul 29th 2010

“Ringman” I could understand, but why would Quasimodo be a good wingman?

And Sal Biondo sent in the above comic along with the one below for our Synchronicity Collection:

Tighty-Whities Synchronicity

Cidu Bill on Jun 29th 2010

Back-to-back on my Chron page.

Elyrest also sent me the second one with the comment “This is more of an I don’t really want to know why my M & M’s are wearing tighty-whities than an ewww, but still…”

Superchronicity

Cidu Bill on Jun 23rd 2010

These were back-to-back on my Chronicle page this past Friday. The second one (Speed Bump) is a definite CIDU, though: “Superman flavor”??

Not Quite Synchronicity, but…

Cidu Bill on Jun 1st 2010

They appeared a few days apart; but come on, I had to give this at least an honorary synchronicity nod.

Tapas

Cidu Bill on May 10th 2010

Does Arlo think Janis is saying “topless bar”? And if so, did they really disappear after the 1970s? And when was the last time Arlo had his hearing checked, because even Crankshaft wouldn’t make this mistake.

Although, I guess, people tend to hear what they want to hear.

If this is what’s going on, we’ve got synchronicity with today’s very NSFW Something Positive.

Dirty Synchronicity

Cidu Bill on May 1st 2010

Igelino: My son ate dirt, but learned very quickly he had to be a stealth-eater. We olny caught him in the act now and then. But while changing diapers, it was obvious he scooped handfuls into his mouth when we would turn our heads away at the playground.

Drillchronicity

Mitchell Marks: It’s not surprising that a topical event would stimulate multiple editorial cartoons in response. But these two are so thoroughly similar, from the over-wordy setup to the mild or disguised cursing.

Never Look a Synchronicity in the Mouth

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

m & m

I would say these two comics (both from today’s papers) define synchronicity:

The Truth About Cats and Dogs

Cidu Bill on Mar 24th 2010

This was a back-to-back-on-the-comics-page synchronicity for me, with the added bonus that I didn’t understand either of them.

LOL Synchronicity — Sort Of

Cidu Bill on Mar 17th 2010

Morris Keesan sent me this one as a LOL

not for the comic itself, but for the meta-text (”The typical internet user (who wants to share) has an IQ of 147 and a
9-inch penis. Well, better than the reverse, I guess”) — which ties into some of the comments about the Arlo Crime News posted here a few hours ago.
