Hi and Lois: Who's that?!

Since it's already well established that Lois has no problem sleeping with other men, Hi--who has always been the lemonade-out-of-lemons sort--figured she might be open to a threesome. She's not responding as well as he was hoping to the first part of his plan, however. Probably because his plan involves Thirsty.

Family Circus: Why's it called that? It doesn't have any ticks, tacks or toes!

This cartoon is hilarious because Jeffy is confused as to the etymology of Tic-Tac-Toe.

Dennis the Menace: My dad says YOU got the muscles an' HE got the brains!

Here we see Dennis off on a visitation with his newly estranged father. It is not going well.

Blondie: Look, people are growing their own food in "recession gardens" to beat the economy.

As with Jeffy, Dagwood's laziness is trumped only by his gluttony.

F Minus and Close to Home: Okay, Rico. You skipped a duck. I'm very impressed.

Because they generally lack recurring characters, single-panel comics mostly have to rely on absurd situations to create humor. These situations are terrifically absurd. They are, therefore, quite humorous.

F Minus has been very good lately, by the way. In the event you don't read it already, you should probably make a point to start doing so.

Pluggers: A plugger's comfort food is anything consumed on his recliner.

Once, this plugger accidentally consumed a spider.* Ergo propter hoc, spider guts are plugger comfort food.

*Well, mostly accidentally.

Marmaduke: Do you suppose you could rest your head someplace else while I read the newspaper.

Family Circus: Our seeds will NEVER grow! Jeffy keeps breathing on them.

And so Jeffy can apparently kill things with nothing more than his breath. He is Death personified.

None of this is surprising.

Dennis the Menace: Mom told me to act my age, so I did.

This whole "act my age" thing is just a comedy goldmine, isn't it?*

*Answer: No.

Family Circus: Today it's MY plants' turn to be on the windowsill in th sun.

Of course, Jeffy just wants his plants to sprout so that he can brutally murder them later on.
