    While trying to think of some sock-related humor, I made the unfortunate discovery that, like Arcamax and other comic-related sites, GoComics has adopted the “sudden full-screen preemptive ad” technique…like there weren’t already enough ads encroaching on content here?

    For some it has Sox appeal.

    That sock looks like is came off a left foot. It’ll never find a match because it can only sock left.

    I don’t know where John and Bleeb are… they’re already done paintin’ my fancy eatin’ room, and restainin’ the fancy eatin’ table, so there’s nuthin’ more to do. I bet they’re on the beach in Boca, catchin’ some rays, ridin’ their Boogie Boards, and scopin’ out the bikinis.

    I suppose that’s one way to try to find an odd sock.

    Not going to happen: the missing socks are worn by the ghost in the attic…

    My oldest has 4 children and piles of unmatched socks. I solved the problem for her. I bought each one 12 pairs pairs of socks. Each pair was identical and unique to each child. Now they know whose socks they are and if one gets lost or has a hole in it they only end up with one unmatched sock per child.

    Here is what happens to the ‘lost’ socks. In the washer the residual methane from farts in underwear is released and eventually bonds with the salt in the sweat inside the socks. Once in the dryer, the temperature reaches the flash point and the unlucky sock is vaporized in a delayed flatulence mini-explosion. Only the lint remains of this horror.
