Family Circus, 2014-07-10.
Jeffy is sitting quietly on an endless white plain under a yellow sky playing with a little model of a school, two trees and a schoolbus. Suddenly a wrathful Billy appears, stomping towards him. Jeffy stands up in apprehension. Billy roars, and with a mighty kick he demolishes the school, sending pieces of it flying into the air.
"Mommy!" calls Jeffy. "Can't we send Billy to summer school or camp or somethin'?"
But Thel is nowhere to be found. The two boys are alone in this place.

"Mommy, will you tell Jeffy to stop smellin' my cookie?" asks Dolly.
Is that a euphemism?

Loretta is happily playing on the computer. The phone rings, so Leroy gets up to answer it.
"Loretta's not here... she's in cyberspace." he says, to the presumably confused caller.
This may not seem remarkable, but think about it. Leroy actually got up to answer the phone instead of interrupting Loretta to try to get her to do it. Then when he found out the call was for her, he still didn't interrupt her, but told the caller she wasn't available so she could continue having fun. This may be the nicest thing he's ever done.

Two women are sitting on a couch playing a video game. Two men stand behind them looking grumpy.
"All right, made my way through the teriyaki salmon filet and now on to the chicken biryani." says one of the women.
"30 more tiramisu points for me!" says the other. "Woohoo!"
Grand Theft Chef
What? Grand Theft Chef? That's not even a pun. What? It's like GTA, but food, because women like cooking instead of cars? Do you have to steal chefs? I guess GTA doesn't involve a lot of car theft, except incidentally, but still. And player one made her way through the teriyaki salmon filet? Tiramisu points?
And what's with the guys in the background? What's their problem? Do they want a turn and the women are hogging it? Because now that there's a cooking-based game, women can play video games? Is that it? Video games are for boys but imagine if there were cooking games, then girls would want to play?
I know Pardon My Planet is a bad comic, but I feel like I'm really stretching to get any kind of sense out of this one, much less a recognisable joke. Grand Theft Chef?

One-Panel Wednesday: Death, disease and tragedy. But funny.
Heathcliff, 2014-06-19.
Heathcliff leaves a hat shop, wearing a Mickey Mouse ears hat which he has presumably just purchased.
"The exterminator." says one of the hat shop staff members to the other.
I guess he's dressing as a mouse to kill mice? I don't get it.

A man is seeing a psychiatrist.
"A lot of people are not what we call 'morning people' and there are a lot of hidden reasons for that." says the psychiatrist. "However, in your case I'm guessing that 'getting up on the wrong side of the driveway' might be a hint."
It's funny because he's an alcoholic. He has a serious problem that's negatively affecting his life and health. Hilarious. Also, that is a lot of words for such a weak joke.

PJ is eating a rapidly melting ice-cream. Dolly has just finished hers.
"You gotta remember, PJ," says Dolly, "the hotter the day, the faster you need to eat it."
PJ looks up at her sadly.

A morose woman holds up a long "to-do list" wihh every item checked off. A worried man sits on an armchair in front of her, holding a drink in one hand and a small towel in the other. Some sort of liquid droplets are flying in all directions from his head.
"I see you only did the things I wrote on the list." says the woman listlessly.

A teacher in a classroom addresses the parents of a student. "You can teach your kids anything you want in the privacy of your own home, but in my science class there will be no talk of invisible, unseen forces that control our day-to-day lives. Gravity and electromagnetism - rubbish!"

A man is lying on a couch talking to a psychiatrist.
"Honestly, my life just seems so much better now since I've convinced myself that it's OK to not know why or who I'm going to vote for." he says.

Pardon My Planet
Two dogs are standing in a park. The dog on the left is wearing a spiked collar and is wagging his tail happily. The dog on the right is wearing a plain collar with a tag on it and a bow on her head. She is wagging her tail, but less vigourously.
"Oh, he's cute," she thinks, "play hard to get, tail down, a little more, but oh, he's cute, keep it down, hard to get..."
