One-Panel Whatday: In-Depth Analysis
Ballard Street, 2014-09-15.
A group of five men are walking together down the footpath. Each of them wears a headset connected to a little box at his hip and each box is connected to the others. It's the Ballard Street Walking & Talking Club.
F-Minus, 2014-09-15.
A man and a woman are sitting on their couch, inside their house. The front door is open. The man is holding a length of blue cable that trails away outside the house.
"You're really missing the point of the leash law." says the woman.
The implication is that there is a dog attached to the other end of the blue cable and the man is obeying the letter of the law by having his dog on a lead, while in reality letting it wander about the neighbourhood unsupervised and at will. Perhaps he is missing the point, or perhaps this is an act of wilful disobedience, a protest against a law he sees as unwarranted.
Or perhaps there is no dog, the man is simply holding a blue cable which bears no relevance to the conversation he is having, in which he has demonstrated a lack of understanding with regard to leash laws and their purpose.
Who can say?
Heathcliff, 2014-09-15.
Heathcliff and Sonja are floating in the air, suspended by bright pink balloons attached to their faces. A man and a woman stand on the ground watching them pass. The two are long since used to Heathcliff and his high jinks, and are not shocked at the spectacle. But it does cause the woman to reminisce.
"You never buy me gum anymore." she says.
Family Circus, 2014-09-15.
"You never know what's going to happen." says Thel, presumably in response to some dumb thing Jeffy just said.
"Yeah, nobody ever tells me anything either." says Jeffy, assuming that everyone lives in the state of perpetual ignorance in which he lives his life.

One-Panel Wednesday: Sticky notes and sticky fingers
The Family Circus, 2014-05-16.
Billy has a piece of paper with "8+8=16" written on it.
"Guess what!" he says. "In another year I'll be halfway to driving your car!"
His father just looks at him blankly.
The joke here, of course, is that Billy will never have the mental capacity required to drive a car.
F-Minus, 2014-05-19.
A young man and an old woman cross paths in the street. As they do so, the man grabs the woman's bag and takes off with it. But something seems unusual about this scenario...
"Hey..." he says, "where's my wallet?"
It turns out that the woman has picked his pocket and is now in possession of his wallet.
Pluggers, 2014-05-22.
Earl applies yet another sticky note to a wall already covered in them.
A plugger always uses tape when using a sticky note.
Sticky notes are supposed to be temporary. They're not meant to stay up for year after year. If you want to store notes on a more permanent basis, there are better ways. Why do people do this?

One-Panel Wednesday: Dentist the Menace
Dennis the Menace, 2014-03-27.
Alice is talking to Dennis's teacher, Ms. Duffey.
"Dennis displays great leadership," says Ms. Duffey, "and that makes me nervous."
No reason or explanation is given for her nervousness.
F-Minus, 2014-04-02.
A man lies face-down on a massage table. A man in a white coat lies on the floor looking up at him and reaching toward his face.
"Ohhh, yeah." says the man on the floor. "Impacted molar. Hand me the forceps, will ya?"
It seems that the second man is a dentist with a very unusual method of examining his patients.

One-Panel Wednesday: Hey Girl
Sonja and her owners (a man and a woman) stand outside their house watching Heathcliff go by in a dirigible with "HEY GIRL" written on the side. Sonja is clearly delighted.
"You never blimp me any more." says the woman.
A police officer cuffs a man who has just spray-painted "Watch your step" on the wall beside a small step in the middle of a footpath.
"Helpful? Perhaps." says a second officer. "But still illegal."
"Thanks, Dennis." says Margaret as she leaves the Mitchell house. "I had a really nice time."
Dennis turns to his mother and shrugs.
"I must be losin' my touch." he says.
Leroy and Loretta crouch, facing each other, eager grins on their faces as they prepare to leap.
"Last time I ever ask them to hug it out." sighs the marriage counsellor.

A long-haired man is having a mug-shot taken by the police. The police officer taking the photograph has set up an electric fan beside the man to blow his hair to the side. The man does not seem to appreciate this.
"Are you sure you don't want it?" asks the officer. "It's pretty dramatic."

"Since tattoos are frowned upon in the workplace, I got it in a spot I could easily conceal." says one man to another.
Contrary to expectations the man actually has a tattoo on his face but has specifically grown his hair in such a way that some hair hangs down over his right cheek, obscuring the tattoo, but making him look ridiculous in the process.

"Since you bought the car as-is, this is your problem now." says one man to another as he opens the boot of the car in question to reveal a man, bound and gagged.
The man who has just bought the car seems slightly taken aback. The man in the boot looks furious.

Two angels confront a surly fat man. The smaller angel has no halo, but the fat man has one.
"This the guy?" asks the larger of the two angels.
The implication is that the man has stolen the small angel's halo, and it is quite obvious that he is, in fact, the guy, so the question seems somewhat unnecessary. Therein lies the humour.

A man with a guitar sits on a stage in front of some tables.
"My last song of the night, by request, is the ABC's." he says.
The adult patrons at the tables react with mild surprise. A young child standing by the stage watches the performer with crossed arms and a look of grim determination.

An big, fat man is playing tennis with what appears to be a smaller fat man. The bigger man is glaring angrily at the shredded remains of what was once the tennis ball, lying in a rough pile beside him.
"Why don't you take about twenty-five percent off that swing?" his opponent suggests.
