I guess something about lemons at a lemon funeral, but who would serve long pig at a human funeral? For that matter, who serves refreshments at the funeral??

Boise Ed also sent this one in: “The first two panels are good. It’s the third one that puzzles me. My friend Mr. Google tells me Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist and bestselling author who studies how people find motivation and meaning, and Daniel Kahneman was an Israeli-American psychologist best-known for his work on the psychology of judgment and decision-making as well as behavioral economics. I can only guess that the book-report assignment was on a title of the student’s choosing, and Caulfield may have chosen a book by one of those psychologists. Maybe he wrote something frivolous and is counting on Mrs. Olsen liking the origami too much to unfold it.”

Kedamono sends this in: “For the life of me I don’t get the joke made by the alien, Odom. And I can see the word balloons.”

The construction is curious. Is the yellow character (the editor isn’t fully familiar with this strip) supposed to be seeing/hearing some of the word balloons but not others? Is the joke just going over their head?

Kedamono sends this in: “It’s not the joke, but the flag. What do those symbols mean? I can’t make heads or tails of them.”
…but it definitely will be for some! Thanks, billr:

Bill didn’t know who the guy in the bed is. I guess the key is to guess what operation he needs!

After a few weeks I thought the cylinder looked full, and while trying to find the “detach to empty” latch I pressed the “open the bottom lid in place” button instead, and had the pile of refuse on my floor.”
