Comics of the New Yorker

I was very pleased with the comics this week. They are the first things I read with each new New Yorker. The ones I found most entertaining was page 85. It had a few men sitting at a restaurant eating dinner and the quote at the bottom was "I want a woman who's not afraid to have a few extra pounds... but doesn't." This is funny because men say they like meat on a woman and they don't like women who are just skin and bones, yet many couples you see are men with these tiny women.
Another one I found funny is one on page 46. This one shows a woman in a store with a luggage bad purchasing something, and the caption is "I love travel - it's so much fun to spend money in a different place." I found this funny because that is so typical of rich people. They travel and buy useless things in other countries, just because they are from those places.
The third comic I found funny is on page 96. It shows two firemen with a large building in the background and the caption is "These are luxury apartments, so use the good water." This was funny because even with something as simple as water, people with money always want the best. And even in the situation of danger, people with money refuse to do or use anything "below" their standards.
