First of all, I don’t get it. Second of all, you don’t want to know what I thought was going on here before I realized that was supposed to be the squirrel’s own tail.

Sunday Funnies - Special New Yorker Edition

Cidu Bill on Apr 22nd 2012

In honor of the fact that I’m letting my New Yorker print subscription expire after many, many years — it’s just easier to read it on my phone now; Eustace Tilley would just plotz, I know — I went through my backlog of New Yorker LOLs and realized I had no idea which of them I’d already used and which ones I hadn’t.

It’s even possible that one or two of these aren’t from the magazine at all, but rather from The Rejection Collection. Who can tell sometimes?

So I’m solving the problem by posting all of them at once. There will be some “reruns,” but most of them should be new to most of you.

Is This Kosher?

Cidu Bill on Apr 17th 2012

Is this comic anti-Semitic or at the very least offensive? I don’t think so, just as I had no problem with that vodka ad. Of course I’d probably have no right to complain even if I were offended, since I didn’t say anything when Cyanide and Happiness made fun of Communists and trade unionists.

I think the fact that this is an online comic makes a big difference. A “Jews are cheap” gag would be a lot more problematic coming from Dagwood’s mouth. But the world of online comics is a “leave your sensitivities at the door” environment.

Your thoughts?

Restricted Text Messages

A couple of people asked me about this, and my first instinct was that “restricted text message” is something that exists only in Tom Batiuk’s reality. A quick peek at the rest of the week’s strips confirms this.

The Son of Stuck Funky site has an entire glossary of expressions and concepts unique to Funkytown.

2030 Called…

Cidu Bill on Apr 13th 2012

newspapers.gif

Or did it?

I live in a family of news junkies, but I haven’t bought a newspaper in 3 or 4 years. My younger son, who’s almost 19, has probably never bought a newspaper in his life.

So it’s very possible that the kid in this comic has never seen a newspaper in her home. But could this really translate to not knowing what a newspaper is? If he doesn’t walk past newsstands, and has never seen The Front Page, can this genuinely be a foreign concept to a 7-year-old, like a typewriter or a washboard?
