SUNDAY FUNNIES: WEEKEND PUPDATE: FEBRUARY 2025

 AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR WEEKEND PUPDATE

WITH YOUR HOST KODA CANINE.

Hello Everybody!

I’m Koda Canine and your not.

What? You folks knew that with this monthly routine I’d be riffing that classic line sooner or later and with Saturday Night Live celebrating its 50th anniversary tonight on NBC...

Anyway, our top story: 

Police say the suspect arrested in the theft of 8 fog machines was an extreme-mist.

A new study reveals ten out of five people have trouble with fractions.

This just in!

Park security cameras show Frosty the Snowman being robbed at gun point!

And now, a word from our sponsor, the Canine Chef.

And only use the good stuff!

Now, back to what passes for the news.

Oceanographers report that the swordfish has no predators to worry about in the wild.

Except for the pen fish, which is said to be even mightier.

Weather experts have announced the final precipitation figures from the last winter storm.

Depending upon the clouds, tonight the Moon will be visible from the Earth.

The last time that happened was… last night.

Despite its high costs, living remains quite popular.

It sure beats the alternative!

And finally: 

Scientists report that some alligators can grow up to 15 feet.

But most only have 4. 

On that note♫, take care.

STAY SAFE!

Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies.

For Weekend Pupdate, I’m Koda Canine.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: OF HEARTS AND FOOTBALLS: 2025 EDITION

Hello Everybody!

Today you have both Piper D. Katt AND Koda Canine here as we have a double themed Sunday Funnies for you!

That's right Piper because while Valentine's Day 💕is this coming Friday February 14, tonight is the annual showdown of the Super Bowl, I mean—the Big Game🏈 because we're not an official sponsor of the event.

It's okay Koda. If we were talking a food bowl, I'd be all over it but I've never really gotten into football.

Me neither because they bounce funny and taste awful despite allegedly being made out of pigskin.

In any event, it's time for the jokes. Ready? Hut one! Hut two!

What hut? Where? I'm not going outside in this cold weather!

JOKE TIME!

I had a wonderful date last night.

Tonight I will try a Fig.

Where do you find love in a grocery store?

Aisle B… there for you.

What did the snail🐌 say on Valentine's Day when his call went to voicemail?

♫I just crawled to say I love you.♫

What did the paper clip📎 say to the magnet?🧲

"I find you very attractive."

And of course, since there is a humongous football🏈 game later tonight as we post this, let's not forget that classic comedy routine by Andy Griffith, What It Was, Was Football.

As usual, we present the following YouTube video (which we did not create or post but are sharing in the spirit of friendly entertainment) featuring Mr. Griffith performing his routine with the accompanying illustrations by G. Woodbridge from when it was adapted for Mad magazine.

And remember: In a relationship, you just can't do what you want. You always have to think about how it will effect your partner.💑

So on that note♫, take care.

STAY SAFE!

Have a great week and one of us will be back next weekend with more Sunday Funnies!—PDK & KC.
