Insert Caption Here
Bewley by Anthony Blades:
Andertoons by Mark Anderson:
You have to feel for the cartoonist who has his work go out with errors like this. I mean, the caption is pretty obvious, but it still stinks to have your work go out to the public like that. I feel for you, Anderson. I'm showing solidarity by co-opting the error for the title of today's blog.
Oh, the caption? Pretty easy to figure out: "Let me finish hanging these signs and we can go to the hotel room and get a bag of carrots and put on a sheep costume."
Herb and Jamaal by Stephen Bentley:
Jamaal (?) here is shocked that the musical interlude is from a band that broke up over 40 years ago. I assume that is the punchline. I mean, that's oldies in my book. Classic rock has to be under 40 years old. Iron Butterfly released In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida in 1968, which is 45 years ago. Of course, I remember Doonesbury doing this same joke in the 80s with the Rolling Stones as elevator music and Mike Doonesbury being conflicted with the fact he was no longer in his prime and aging as the rebellious music of his youth was considered what the old fogies listen to on oldies radio stations. He did more than make a stupid face in the final panel, too.
Lio by Mark Tatulli:
I'm almost 40 and I feel the same way putting on pajamas and a robe.
Pluggers by Gary Brookins:
It's funny because his blood sugar is 450 and he's slipping into unconsciousness. Whoo, those Pluggers know how to bring the aging/medical humor. A heart attack is following for this overweight dog who married outside his species and is shacking up with an old hen. Creepy cross-species unions going on all over the comics. Ick.

I thought I just wasn't getting the joke in that "Andertoons" one. I analyzed it over and over.
I did the same thing at first too! :)
