CIDU is now at http://www.comicsidontunderstand.com, thanks to those of you who helped me quickly work out some transition problems.
The switch gives me a huge amount of additional space, as well as the flexibility to add some features.

Why Screw Up Once When You Can Screw Up Twice?
Last month when I switched everything over to comicsidontunderstand.com, I got rid of the next month’s worth of comics queued on on this (the old) site, figuring I’d get around to deleting the rest when I had time. So of course February 4 rolls around and a Get Fuzzy strip appears.
So I figure okay, what’s done is done, people have already started to respond to the Get Fuzzy strip, so I’ll just direct people back to the old site for a day and in the meantime I’ll delete all the other comics here so the same thing won’t happen again.
And accidentally deleted the Get Fuzzy strip, of course.
Well, whatever. I added it to the new site.

Used Cars
I don’t understand either punchline, unless the words “used cars” are supposed to be in and of themselves funny.
And no, I have no idea how this one got posted to this page rather than to the new page (http://www.comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress). The new page has its own new comic this morning.

Strange Shoe
Carl Fink: So a silhouette is walking in the background while in the foreground is a Venetian shoe from the Renaissance?
To me, it looks like a clown with big breasts. Is that something I should be talking to my shrink about? -Bill

Waffles
Is this just, you know, “there are strange people at Denny’s at 3am,” or is there something more specific going on here?

Piercings
Not a CIDU, not really a lol… just one of those comics that offers some oddly appealing (or appealingly odd) logic
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Last Month
S. P. Charles rolls his eyes as the “Teena’s Teacher Bemoans the War Against Christmas” storyline continues into its second month.
Gratitude
“Gratitude”? What is Cory, some waif they took in off the street last month?
Am I the only one who simply can’t reconcile all these unlikeable middle-aged people with the characters who used to populate this strip?
Okay, no more rants about Funky Winkerbean. All comments about the direction of the strip should be addressed at the Stuck Funky site: They do it better there anyway.
An Unsupported Punchline
Maybe it’s a guy thing, but I can’t even begin to see the internal logic here: Val accidentally came to work wearing pajamas and convinced her boss that they weren’t actually pajamas, and this encourages her friend to whip off her bra??

That Was No Woman, That Was His Sister
Mark Jackson: If Andrew Nutz goes to public school, who was that woman I saw him with last month?
Sal Eats Cars
Kaitlyn: I’m not talking about the story, that’s insane and I don’t expect anyone to get it or remember who or what those things are in the panels.
However, I do not understand what the the car wash marquee originally said.
I know “Sal eats cars” is funny, funny enough to be on some blog, not the town’s paper! That’s not it, of course.
It’s the 3rd panel explaining how the phrase ended up on the marquee — “a ‘T’ blow[n] off a sign”
Did it blow off the car wash marquee? If so, where was it before? If not, did it blow off another sign onto the car wash’s, and the marquee used to say “Sal ea-s cars”?
As I Was Going To Saint Barts…
Let’s recap: Les didn’t know whether Funky was chaperoning Cory’s party… and Summer “took the fifth” rather than telling him because she didn’t want FUNKY to find out whether he’d chaperoned Cory’s party… because Les didn’t know that his best friend was off in the French West Indies.
A Punchline Saved is a Punchline Earned
Okay, am I the only one who expects Elly to go outside in the next panel and fly a kite in a lightning storm?
How Far is Westview from Columbus?
Because couldn’t you just see Les being the second guy arrested?

When you’re sending me comics…
… at cidumay2004 at yahoo.com … please send me the comic’s URL rather than the comic itself if possible. E-mailed comics sometimes show up as .bmp files (no rhyme or reason behind it as far as I can tell) and when I convert them to .gif or .jpg files, sometimes those converted files look all fuzzy on WordPress (and sometimes not; again, it seems fairly random).
Pajamas
She knew she was wearing pajamas and hoped nobody would notice? She forgot she was wearing pajamas? Or did I sleep through a third possibility?
