Many Brits will remember a wartime radio program “ITMA” (It’s That Man Again) that featured a gloomy character, Moana Lott, whose catchphrase was “It’s being so cheerful that keeps me going”. Could possibly be Spud’s mantra.
April showers bring May flowers because April flowers get blown away. It’s so windy here all the tree blossoms are on the yard now more than the trees.
Are dad jokes a thing with Rose now? Her way of trying to set aside her hall monitor / overachiever persona and connecting with with the “regular” kids? I seem to remember her telling a dad joke once before, but I couldn’t find it right away.

Yep, even with allergy meds…I must have sneezed 20 times today. And the back of my hands itch. The Desert is in bloom. Unfortunately.

Rose. A ray of dadness in a sea of humorless babies.

The answer is: PILGRIMS. I think every (Boomer?) child grew up with that joke. LOL

Spud is correct: summer is pretty much a hot, sweaty, sneezy mess. Give me autumn any day!

Every time I hear that expression I’m taken to Bugs singing as he showers in a waterfall, just before Blaque Jacques Shellaque dams it up. Every time!

PILGRIMS! That’s what Mayflowers bring. That’s the traditional joke I assume Rose was going for.

I like how Will’s signature follows the rug pattern.

Yes, we know what joke Rose was going for but it was blasted away by Wallace’s indomitable hopeful spirit.

Wallace is the eternal optimist. Always something exciting right around the corner!

Love the way we see seeing Wallace from outside the window…the artwork of his fingers pressed against the inside of the glass…

I’m with Spud on this one, although I love Wallace’s take on it!
GG_loves_comics Premium Member over 1 year ago
Sigh . . . a classic joke ruined by Wallace’s upbeat spring attitude . . . and Spud’s continued cynicism. Sorry, Rose!
Aladar30 Premium Member over 1 year ago
Don’t tell me Rose agree with Spud here.

“Close behind”? Shouldn’t it be “close ahead” since Summer is in front of him?
tammyspeakslife Premium Member over 1 year ago
I came on here to see how many people replied “pilgrims”- 6 so far, and one “Colonizers”
StoicLion1973 over 1 year ago
I know Rose was looking for “Pilgrims” but Spud isn’t wrong, either.
