Reality Check by Dave Whamond for July 23, 2023

What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?

You may be right, he may be crazy.

Let’s hear it for the boy, he was free falling with all those 80’s music puns and then Wham! – His dream was over.

That’s just the way it is

‘Always something there to remind me’ was a 60s hit — unless someone covered it 20 years later and nobody told me!

I like how Ralph is given more than one line today.

I still haven’t found what I’m looking for, but it’s not R-O-C-K in the U. S. A.

Was there music in the ‘80s? I don’t remember any.

Heck this one wrote itself, Dave’s getting Money for Nothin’ today.

Ralph’s all right. Don’t nobody worry ’bout him.

Hard to believe most of those songs came out THIRTY FIVE TO FORTY YEARS AGO!! (I feel so old now).

I’m a little late getting here this morning, but Hey! Don’t you forget about me!

Love that squirrel

LMAO!

My morning fix of humor ! ☺️❤️☺️❤️

It’s nutting to get upset about.

Should I stay or should I go?

What’s it all about, Ralphie …?

( Alfie is on the shelfie )

Put a little “Sugar, Sugar” on those deam nuts.

To pay for those nuts he to “Work Hard for the Money.”

And who am I to disagree?

I much prefer the serious music from back in the 50’s when I was a teenager. We had such lyrics as Bomp bomp ba bomp, ba bomp ba bomp bomp,dip-de-dip-de-dip, boogidy shoo, doo-wop-de-wop. Those were songs with real meaning.

You don’t base your comics on 60s and 70s music? It seems so vain. We’ll help you if we can.

Oh, Ralph. Not that!

I only recognized about half of the lyrics. I stopped listening to the radio about 1983. Probably tapes instead in the car – books and my preferred music choices.

Yet we’re Asleep in the Light

Cindy Lauper would be put out to see squirrley claiming her thing…

Panel 5..Rick rolling. Last panel we were Ralph rolled.

This strip is one of the many reasons to be cheerful (part 3).

Ah, life in a northern…country.

Too bad the 5th panel wasn’t the last panel so I could think I’ve been rickrolled
