Vacation, had to get away

Cidu Bill on Jul 13th 2011

vacation2.pngWhen comic strip artists take a break, they generally post “classic” strips. I’m going to be gone for a week, so I decided to go the same route and run comics that appeared on CIDU back in 2005. Along with your original responses. But feel free to add your own 2011 comments if you think additional comments are necessary.

wywftd.pngSince the graphic files include the original comments, and the graphic won’t fit in the amount of space the WordPress template allows me, they’ll be posted in thumbnail form. Just click, and the comic and comments will magically appear in their full-sized glory.

CIDU Classic will appear for seven consecutive days, including Saturday and Sunday.

“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:

I think most countries would be pretty damn happy with a one-cent annual surplus.

Someone told me it’s all happening at the zoo

Cidu Bill on Aug 24th 2009

wizard_of_id908g.gif

Pinny: What exactly did he do at the zoo to get himself banned? If it involved his wife, then this should probably get an Arlo Award. If it did not, then this should probably be a EWWW contender.

The first time I heard this joke, the punchline was “Unfortunately, they’ll never let us in Schrafft’s again” -Bill

Missed It By a Nose

Cidu Bill on Jun 8th 2009

rodneysnose.jpg

Um… Shouldn’t the joke have been Rodney asking for his nose to be more in proportion to his body? As it’s written, Wiz did precisely as he was asked and there’s no actual joke here.

Sinners Welcome

Cidu Bill on Jun 2nd 2009

sinners.gif
Because sinners don’t donate? Because sinners steal other people’s donations? Isn’t “sinners welcome” a tenet of the church? What would Johnny Hart say about this?

Professional Courtesy

Cidu Bill on May 29th 2009

wizard_of_id_441_g.gif

Of course I understand what professional courtesy is, and why it might apply in this case. What I don’t understand is, what’s the joke here?

Lookin’ Good

Cidu Bill on Mar 28th 2009

wizard_of_id196g.gif
Rodney is supposed to be good-looking by comic-strip standards?? This was certainly never hinted at previously, and far from apparent in today’s strip.
But if not, I don’t see the joke here.
