Mitch4 sends this in: “The two rowers were seated as though to propel the boat astern, left-to-right. The magically-appearing outboard then correctly sends the boat right-to-left.”
Jack Applin adds: “Margot, the millennial with the afro puffs, has near-supernatural abilities at times, so we can assume that she unconsciously created the outboard motor. However, why are the characters rowing backward? When you row, you pull on the oars, which sends the boat in the opposite direction that you’re facing. The bow (front) of this boat is on the left, as indicated by its shape (also, the motor appears at the right). The rowers should be facing right, not left. Perhaps this explains why they’re doing so poorly—they’re either pushing the oars, or trying to make the boat go backwards, flat end first.”

Actually, in panel 2 it’s not clear what’s going on, given the angle of the rower’s back and the oars. Is it possible the cartoonist just doesn’t understand how rowing a boat works?

Mitch4 sends this in: “Setup is quite unlikely, but yields a good chuckle.”

But maybe this boat is the Tooth Ferry?



Pretty sure the last panel tech support is Hindu deities.

For me, it was a momentary CIDU. Mitch4 notes “May be pronunciation dependent (“conch”).”

Your editor isn’t a golfer either. How often do players actually yell “Fore”?
Thanks to billr:

Is donut choir a pun for something?
No clue. Googling suggests “Combining a cannabis-infused edible with your favorite lyrics and beats can actually trigger a stronger emotional response to music”, also talks about it being a bad idea to combine weed with Lyrica (pregabalin, a drug for things like diabetic neuropathy).
None of those help here, though.
From Boise Ed:

What arrow-related thing happened/happens at the Met Gala?
Some Googling suggests it might be a reference to this:

but I’m not convinced. Anyone??

So this is Noah’s Ark, and so there’s a flood, and floodlights, and…?
Marrose sends:

She asks:
Why are there medieval peasants (circa 1300) talking about the French Revolution ( 1789-1802)? I get the comment was supposed to be wryly funny, but I can’t get past the characters.
I guess the cartoonist is fuzzy about how revolting French people would have dressed? Maybe AI involved, “Draw me some people from long ago”. Srsly, it’s an excellent question, and an unnecessary distraction from the point of the cartoon!
Tomlinson is from South Africa, but I don’t think that gets him a bye on this detail.




This was tilted in Tom Falco’s original, so I left it that way in case it’s part of the joke.
