Perfect, and thank you for making no sense whatsoever.
I can take the assertment that a penguin would not survive the lack of oxygen, but would in fact, survive the nuclear explosion.
After all, have nukes been tested on penguins? It’s a coin toss.
But, mental excitement popularized in Mutt & Jeff?
That’s how you know this dude is full of it.
Well, I’ll be …
One of my all time favorites!!! Berkeley was meta before meta was cool :D
Too bad we don’t have those in the “real” world.
I can’t tell if this an homage to Mort Walker’s “Lexicon of Comicana,” or a rip-off.
The more you know, the more you…know.
And what are those dots under the WHAM called? And the landing marks under Opus?
(Probably left out because there wasn’t enough room for the descriptionle.)
Some comics had weird little symbols in a speech balloon. Denoted a naughty word.
Both entertaining AND educational…
The mysteries of life explained. Thanks!

To be continued:
Smoozles — swirling mid-air hearts, indicating strong love
Oogahs — a series of telescoping eyes, indicating sexual attraction
Bugeyes — sudden enlargement of eyes, indicating surprise / disbelief
Zizzles – short squiggly line(s) above a character’s head, indicating brain overload
Shroomies – small mushroom cloud over a character’s head, indicating rage
Astros — Not the Jetsons’ dog, but mid-air stars and planets around a character’s head: see “Stars”
Bows — mid-air rainbows, candy canes, unicorns, etc., indicating (usually short-lived and naive) hopes, dreams, and/or fantasies

Your turn!

Now I understand.
Oh, thank you, all-knowing BB (wouid that be a “booble”?) for the explication de texte, without which I would never “get” the comic!
