Is there consistency from one panel to another about the apparent kind of malfunction?

Clunk

A CIDU-relevant comics-meta series in The Knight Life last week, suggested by Andréa:

We can’t decide whether the educational facts in between the joking ones are all or mostly meant to be true.

A Sad-LOL from Lugnuts

Last week I went to a wedding, of two antennas. The ceremony itself wasn’t anything special. But the reception was great!

Bliss and Martin do a nice job with the last-second twist:
