I saw this on the Fun & Games thread and don’t understand it, it is too clever for me, maybe I am too dim.
Perhaps someone can help me understhand this? It’s a bit sad I know when a joke has to be explained

The great reveal:
See you later,
alligator,
said she.
In a while
crocodile.
Now I said it, didn’t I?
You do need to be a certain age.
The Stones is about right.
So you do know.

It’s ok, I’m a bit slow tonight too and had to get my daughter to explain it too 
It happens sometimes; you could have looked at it tomorrow and got it right away

I have a feeling that, to match the ‘blue velvet’ threads and hat, Keith must be wearing
blue suede shoes
meanwhile back to the serious business of strokology studies.
and from one strokologist to another,
keep on keepin’ on

OK folks, so I note several respondants have said
“See you later alligator
Afte a while crocodile”
Please bear with me as I am still trying to get this.
The caption is saying the “Alligator” is thinking (think bubble) “Please don’t say it …” i.e. the C U later alligator phrase.
But why is the cartoon showing a Alligator dressed as a man going to work with his wife at the kitchen sink.
Is this some sort of British ironic humour or something? What category does this fall into?
I am very familiar with the Bill Haley hit song "See you later alligator! but I just don’t get how this relates to that cartoon.
Is it a British thing?
Am I the only one struggling to get this?
I love comedy of all sorts, but only if I get it - I just don’t get this.
Sorry if I am boring you to death with my obsession to understhand this. I am an obsessive when it comes to understanding things

I think it has to be an anthropomorphised alligator to make the joke “work”. Only if you think it works though:rofl:
Yes I would think there’ll be awhole series of these like the classical pictures with modern speech bubbles or comment
