SUNDAY FUNNIES: WEEKEND PUPDATE, SEPTEMBER 2026

 AND NOW IT’S TIME FOR WEEKEND PUPDATE
WITH YOUR HOST KODA CANINE.

Hello Everybody!
I’m Koda Canine, and I was thrown out of the park after arranging the squirrels by height.
They didn't like me critter sizing.

Our top story:
This year’s World Origami Championship will be on paper-view.

Scientists have successfully grown human vocal cords from stem cells in the lab.
The results speak for themselves.

In Financial News: the inventor of the hay baler made a bundle.

Police were called to investigate a suspicious robbery at a philosopher’s meeting.
The optimist said the glass🍷 was half full. The pessimist said the glass was half empty. The realist said the glass was too big, but all of them claim that the opportunist stole the glass while they were arguing.

And now, a word from our sponsor.

We’re having our annual going out of business fire sale this week folks!
Bring your own S’mores ingredients.
Call 555-WEWANTYOUR$
We guarantee the lowest prices in town, no matter how much more you have to pay.

Now, back to what passes for the news.

Scientists say if on the off chance you’ve forgotten how to throw a boomerang don’t worry.
It will come back to you.

Historians report the shovel🪏 was a ground breaking invention,
but the broom🧹 swept the world.🌍

Now it’s time for my editorial.
If someone’s worth is determined by their wealth instead of the quality of their character, then the system is seriously broken and needs to be fixed!

And finally: 
Remember, with great reflexes comes great response ability.

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: BACK TO SCHOOL 2026

KODA CANINE
PIPER D. KATT
 Hello Everybody!
Today you have both Piper D. Katt AND Koda Canine here to present our annual BACK TO SCHOOL SALUTE!

That's right Piper. Now we know that most, if not all schools have already resumed classes for the fall semester by the first of September, but we're traditionalists here at The Sunday Funnies because our Editor-In-Chief can remember when the new school year didn't start until the day AFTER Labor Day since there wasn't all the holidays and Teachers' In Service Workshop days that are a part of current school curriculums.

Yeah. Too bad Teachers still aren't getting the respect, resources and acknowledgements for all their hard work helping students learn and grow that they should be.

I agree Piper. That is a sick joke on society's part, but this IS The Sunday Funnies, not a news commentary show so without further ado, here's some school based humor that everyone will hopefully enjoy.

Synonym (noun) A word used in the place of the one I can't spell.

The math book was really depressed. It had too many problems.
HOW IT USED TO BE.


Why is DARK spelled with a K instead of a C?
Because you can't C in the dark.

After completing my PHD Thesis on hoarding, I was promoted to add-junk professor.

I tried to draw a cube🧊 in art class, but for some reason my imagination was blocked.

Professor: "Do you know what sin city is?"
College Student: "Either Las Vegas or Atlantic City."
Professor: "Do you know what Den City is?"
College Student: "Mass over volume."

Did you know that dinosaurs still roam the world today?
What? You've never heard of a Thesaurus?

 Do all fish🐟🐠 come from Finland?

Solar energy is actually nuclear energy from a safe distance.

The only thing I've learned from my mistakes is that I make a bunch of them.

AND FINALLY...
When  you are sure you're on the same page with someone, also be sure you're in the same book and all parties know how to read.

So on that note♫, take care.
STAY IN SCHOOL AND LEARN SOMETHING! EDUCATION IS A RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE!
Have a great week and one of us will be back next weekend with more Sunday Funnies!—PDK and KC.
