Is This a "How I Met Your Aunt" Situation?

A man and woman are getting married. The priest says "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife." The newlyweds kiss. When they part, the bride says "Heel" much to the shock and chagrin of the groom and priest.
May 19, 1966
Say it with me: "Women, amirite?" This reminds me of a joke I read in one of those men's magazines. "Before their wedding, a bride gave the groom an amazing blowjob. Talking to his best man, the groom goes 'I just got the best blowjob of my life!' Talking to her bridesmaid, the bride goes 'I just gave the last blowjob of my life!'" Marriage, amirite?

Gladys is sitting in a green chair. Brutus walks up to her. "Do you know what today is, Gladys?" he asks. "No. Is it something special? Don't keep me in suspense! Tell me!" she is excited and full of joy. "It's National Husband Appreciation Day!" Brutus responds. "Oh," Gladys says, disappointed.
I feel a lot of people didn't know it was Husband Appreciation Day yesterday. I didn't see anything about it except for this comic and a MeTV post about who's your favorite classic TV husband. Gladys isn't on board.

Brutus, dressed in a checkered sweatervest and wearing some kind of polka dot hat, answers the door to a vacuum salesman. "How-do, Madam. I represent the Handy Dandy Vacuum Sweeper. Allow me to demonstrate," the man pushes his way in. "I'll empty is bag of coffee grounds. Now then, if this little handy dandy doesn't clean up every speck, I'll make you a gift of it!" Brutus grabs the man's collar and ushers him out the door. "Then you better start gift-wrapping. We have no power because I forgot to pay the electric bill!" Standing triumphantly with the vacuum, Brutus says "Sometimes I win one!"

I like the guy calling Brutus "Madam". I had a guy do one of these for me one time. I'm not buying your stupid vacuum though. The one I have works fine and didn't cost $2,200. Thanks for getting up that stain though. I feel there's a clause that you don't get the vacuum if there's no power, but maybe not. I'd be more concerned about Brutus forgetting to pay the electric bill.

What is Brutus wearing?

Wilberforce is sitting on the ottoman while Uncle Ted sits in a chair. "I love hearing you tell the fun stories about experiences in your past, Uncle Ted." "Well, I enjoy telling them to you. Believe it or not, they're all true! It's fun for me to relive these experiences as I tell them to you. But there's another reason I tell them to you." "What's the reason, Uncle Ted?" "I need to tell them to you before I forget them. Then you can retell them to me as a reminder."
This is a dark Born Loser as Uncle Ted admits he really only tells stories so when his brain has been eaten away by old age, his grandchild can remind him of all his good times. Time marches on and Death comes for all.

Is this what we're losing with the new GoComics?  The throwaway panels are missing. I know they don't need to be seen, hence the name 'throwaway', but I'd expect the company who owns/distributes the comic to be able to show the entire comic. This isn't the shrinking newspaper comics page.
