Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for January 18, 2023

snicker

There are four of them. Four is the square root of sixteen. Just sayin’.

We’re rooting for you

The root of all…

whatever.

What a bunch of fakers. The one on the left will make you cry. The second one couldn’t carrot all. The third guy will beet you when you’re down and the spud has his eyes on you.

well, you can’t beet this one

Yes, this made me chortle aloud this morning, Mark. Thanks!

An onion isn’t a root. It’s a short stem with fleshy leaves. The potato isn’t a root either. It’s a stem tuber.

They are rooting for squash to make it across the street. Did he make it?

Awwww!!!! Lol!

One can always use a cheering section.

A rootin-tootin bunch..

Clever.

So cute!

Rooty toot toot‼️ They’re delicious roasted!

The spud didn’t want to come out and cheer; he’d rather stay home and watch the race on YouTuber. (Well, he is a couch potato after all.)

Root vegetables believe in you! You can do the thing!

Anyone know what a blue potato is (this just reminded me, I’ve wondered for ages)

What fun! I love seeing little glimpses into how a cartoonist’s creative mind works. Thanks for the chuckle. I needed it!

Cute.

We all could use some rooting for us. An who cares if an onion isn’t considered a root vegetable, it does grow in the ground. I bet a turnip or parsnip wouldn’t been as funny (or easy to tell apart from something else!) or easy to draw. :-)

Where’s the root-abaga?

Just remember, NEVER use this term in Australia. “Root” means something VERY different there!

Hey, carrot needs no legs!

Rooting means something else in Australia
