Carpentry for mega-dummies


1) The birds in panel one are laughing at the bald man’s lack of carpentry skills. The birds in panel two are laughing because another bird they all hate has just flown into the birdhouse and torn himself to bits on the exposed nail ends and heads. Can you say “schadenfreude,” kids? Veeerrry gooood!
2) The plans for the birdhouse in panel two were designed by Frank Gehry.
3) The hole in the side of the birdhouse in panel one is actually wren-shaped.
4) The boy in panel two didn’t even want to learn how to build a birdhouse. He wanted to learn how to belly dance.
5) The three birds along the right side of panel one are actually a totem pole.
6) The birdhouse in panel two was made out of Pinocchio. Recognize the nose?

Ground control to Major Tom



This one’s pretty similar to one from April 1. In fact, half of the differences are the same:

1) In panel one, the cat got to come along on this trip because it invented the portable gravitational field technology that is keeping it from floating around in the ship.

2) The astronaut in panel one is traveling to Ahnooie-4. The astronaut in panel two is traveling to Quorg.

3) In panel two, the ship is run by a sentient computer, maliciously intent on destroying the crew in order to fulfill contradictions in its programming. Hence, it will continue operating the thrusters even when it doesn’t have to, burning through the fuel until the crew is stuck in space and must starve. The astronaut is oblivious to this and is playing video games with a joystick.

The others are entirely new:

4) The astronaut in panel two will realize too late what happens when you let a cat pack your space ship. The larder is packed entirely with Fancy Feast. After one too many cans of Sliced Turkey & Giblets in Gravy, the astronaut will snap.

5) The astronaut in panel one is from China (hence the star on his shoulder), which will have taken over the entire world and about half the solar system by the time this type of ship is developed.

6) The purple planet in panel two contains 75 percent less Uranus/Your Anus jokes.

Do not seek the tray-sure. It's bushwhacked!


1) The map in panel two appeared in Max Mouse’s mailbox under mysterious circumstances. Slylock is naturally suspicious, but even he did not suspect that the X marks the location of a large net that the Valley Lodge people are using to capture them so they can present them to their alien masters.
2) In panel one, the currently incarcerated Harry Ape gave Max Mouse the treasure map in exchange for four cartons of cigarettes. Max and Slylock will dig up the “treasure” only to find a shoebox full of Mardi Gras beads. Max will be slightly disappointed that they don’t match his bowler.
3) In panel one, Max is dancing his “I Found the Treasure” jig. In panel two, Max is dancing his “Please Don’t Stick Any More Sand in My Shorts, Slylock” jig.
4) The seagull in panel two is such a rabid devotee of his Valley Lodge masters that he gave them his legs, and now spends the rest of his days in flight, spying on Slylock and Max.
5) Slylock was rather surprised the treasure map in panel one led to anything at all. Harry Ape appears to have given Max a map cut out from the back of a cereal box.
6) If Slylock sidesteps the net in panel two, the starfish is going to pull a knife.

There's a new sheriff in town ... and he rides the horses in front of Kmart


1) Before the policeman arrives, the little boy in panel one will cram as many quarters from the money bag into his coin-operated spring horse as possible.
2) The town in panel one has planning and zoning codes that require all coin-operated horses to be painted the same color as the storefront. In panel two, Variety Store’s owners didn’t want to splurge for other colors of paint.
3) The policeman in panel two will use excessive force against the bank robber, but the court will find it was justified until new evidence comes to light that shows that the policeman did nothing to prevent the robber from bumping his head on the roof of the car.
4) The cat in panel one just lost its favorite catnip toy down the sewer grate.
5) Variety Store in panel one is right next to General Mercantile. Variety Store in panel two is next door to Five and Dime.
6) The boy in panel two practices his lariat skills on passing skateboarders.

The dog food bandit


1) The dog in panel one was dreaming of dancing in a disco with punctuation marks, gettin’ down with the commas. In panel two, it was a nightmare in which he found himself in someone’s lower intestinal tract surrounded by hostile exclamation points.
2) The cat in panel two is able to control the dog using ear-pulls, in much the same way Remy the rat controlled the inept chef in Ratatouille. He will use this ability to make the dog maul the raccoon, who has always preferred the flavor of cat food.
3) The trash can in panel one is Oscar the Grouch’s second home. Nagg lives in the trash can in panel two; Nell’s ash bin is just off panel.
4) No collars, no fence on the back side, snappable chicken bones left in reach of the dog, pets allowed to wander around in the night while dangerous raccoons roam the neighborhood — and yet, the pet owners in panel one are still more responsible than Madeline. The only thing that disqualifies the pet owners in panel two from being better pet owners than her is the one time they decided to give one of their other cats a bath by putting it in the fish aquarium and putting the aquarium in one of those gizmos that shakes paint cans.
5) The dog in panel one uses the upside-down bucket as a pillow. The pet owners in panel two keep the dog’s water there and have yet to realize that they wouldn’t have to refill it as often if they turned it right side up.
6) The raccoon in panel two plans to give the dog dish to his male lover as a gag gift. His lover won’t think it’s funny either.

Supermice: The Return


Today's Six Differences is almost identical to this one. In fact, five of the six differences still apply:

1) The cat in panel one convinced the mice to tie her up as part of an insurance scam. The cat in panel two has been tied up against his will by a new race of supermice.
2) The carnivorous mice in panel one will unintentionally become cannibals when it is discovered that the sausages contain 15 percent rodent.
3) The mouse holding the plate in panel one will sue when he is beaned in the head with that chicken leg and his workers comp claim is denied.
4) The mouse with the sausages in panel two, not quite comprehending the concept of sausage links, is skipping rope.
5) The mice in panel two are creating a dress out of foodstuffs for Cinderella. That’s gonna be hot.

Here's the new difference:

6) In panel one, the comic strip on the side of the fridge is Cathy. The owner of the fridge is on a diet and wanted some dieting humor, somehow failing to realize that Cathy does not actually contain humor, but rather a sort of cardboard-textured, artificially-flavored, humorlike substitute. In panel two, it’s Lio. Somebody has taste.

Keepaway!


1) The dog in panel one forgot the safe word.
2) The other side of the food dish in panel two is emblazoned with the word “Hello.” Damn you, Japan, and your ubiquitous and lovable cat merchandise!
3) The mushroom in panel one is one of those good mushrooms. The rabbit just ate one of the mushrooms next to it, and is now hallucinating that the cat has grown to 10 feet tall, is wearing purple overalls and is handing chocolate-covered carrots to the populace at large, while the dog has grown four more limbs and is simultaneously belly dancing and juggling heads of lettuce.
4) The rock on the left side of panel two was originally a statue of a famous toad, but the bird on the left has used it as a toilet so often it is unrecognizable.
5) The squirrel in panel one is a decoy set by a hillbilly to catch more squirrels.
6) The dog in panel two (prior to being caught with the bowl) has replaced the cat’s regular food with new Folger’s Crystals. Let’s see if he notices.
