Reality Check by Dave Whamond for September 14, 2022

My (I believe) third grade teacher told us, “In the desert it’s too hot for dessert.”

A deserted island isn’t much of a problem

Old joke: https://www.gocomics.com/waynovision/2017/07/24

When I finish with the dessert, please replace it with a palm tree. Better yet, how a pork chop tree?

Ralph looks so comfortable.

. . . But there is no 3-s DESSSERT.

Oh, no! I think it’s about to erupt!

Since this is a cartoon, I’m pretty sure this is exactly what the cartoonist intended: he got both a desert island and a dessert island.

And he’s not getting a deserved reward/punishment – his just deserts.

Can’t be far from civilization when you have reception.

Ralph is enjoying the scenery…

I once went to the Sahara dessert. Yum!

Hooray!! I’m gonna be rescued… there’s a sheep on the horizon!

(did it just happen again?!)

Better hurry up and eat it! It won’t be there long!

Other version: Stuck with a large bottle of palm oil instead of palm tree.

A kitchen island would be handy.

The ginger ale has gone flat and the ice has melted in the punch bowl.

That’s a fine looking Sunday sundae.

Boo his (ssic) …!

I have been searching for the Chocolate Fountain of Youth

Well, now they have your location from your phone, so gorge yourself while they organize a rescue. Or have them bring a barrel of Caramel sauce and have a party.

Far better to be on a dessert island than a desert island. Hopefully, he’ll share with Ralph. It looks like there’s enough to go around.

YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Take what you can get buddy.

And your trying to correct this problem?

That’s MY kind of island!!!
