Zamboni Synchronicy

Cidu Bill on Mar 10th 2010

Greg D. Trudeau: These two stories are not comics, but, perhaps, they qualify under synchronicity:

Jolly Green Synchronicity

Cidu Bill on Feb 10th 2010

Peter Lepine: I produce the comic 2cups over on comics Sherpa and I had to laugh when I read today’s Argyle sweater. Also a little envious as his Green Giant looks cleaner then mine.

Udderly Synchronicitous

Cidu Bill on Feb 8th 2010

Igelino offered these up as synchronicity — though others have sent me the Pamela Anderson comic alone as either LOL or Ewww.

Deep Sea Synchronicity

Cidu Bill on Jan 12th 2010

Christian Schumann-Curtis sent me

and this as an example of synchronicity. Honestly, though, I didn’t get much sleep last night and I couldn’t make it through the Subnormality strip — no disrespect intended toward Mr. Rowntree — so I’m just going to take Christian’s word for this one.

Centipede Synchronicity

Cidu Bill on Jan 2nd 2010

Laurie B. Wylie: Sorry, I’m just catching up on my daily comics emails. Oddly enough, these were adjacent that day (December 9) — although it often seems to work that way.

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”

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.

The final one is a CIDU.

Thar She Bloviates!

Cidu Bill on Oct 30th 2009

Bookworm: Pibgorn and The Fusco Brothers both used the word bloviate — a word I had never heard of until today. What are the odds? Or has some public figure used it lately and I wasn’t paying attention?

Better Synchronicity

Cidu Bill on Oct 17th 2009

Yeah, it’s not really all that impressive; but these were back-to-back on my Houston Chronicle page, and at 1:30 in the morning it was enough to amuse me.
