Well, in actuality, Mr. Potato Head originates from Pawtucket, RI – where the toy maker Hasbro is headquartered. A little useless fact to start your Friday.
I am by no stretch of the imagination famous, but I am from the same place as Victor Wooten. Lots of places of Idaho I do miss, but Mtn. Home is a good place to pass through.

So it’s funny that less populous states have fewer famous people? Ugh. Way below this strip’s usual high standards.
