Nelson, just don’t ask him what rhymes with Nantucket!

On the other hand, Miracle Whip rhymes with “Freudian slip”, “swollen lip” and “fractured hip”. Sometimes these things just work out.

It is good to have a genius for a grandfather. Nelson is blessed.

The greys which are those aliens people claimed they saw. That rhymes with mayonnaise. There’s also braise.

This looks so much better in color. :Wish Zack Hill was in color too.

now I’m waiting to read Nelson’s homework…

To mayonnaise, I say “Nay, no ways.” … “Hey, no praise.”

Hey, the ink is back (no need to rhyme that)!

Yeah, well let’s hear him come up with a rhyme for orange! Or purple.

I’m sure Earl is great with limericks, too.

Dance Hall Days. For all of you Wang Chung fans out there.

bouillabaisse

Earl is not a poet, and doesn’t know it.

How does that go “A Poet Laureate”!

There is an old fellow named Earl, whose sister-in-law is named Pearl, and Opal’s his wife, the love of his life, and Nelson completes their whole world!

Okay, now try “Orange”.

Man’s malaise.

Roscoe is flattered.

Purple haze.

He’s been thinking about mayo his whole LIFE.!!!!

Very good, Earl!

Pancakes.

“Gas for days…”

“Pants ablaze.” Alright, who’s been lying?

Doesn’t kind of make you wonder if all the great poets use this method to get their motor’s rhyming.

Darn! Now I have to find a way to incorporate all these words into a poem. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

…

The greatest thing in the world is mayonnaise,

It really improves lunch buffets,

It’s way better than nasal sprays,

See, I swear my pants aren’t ablaze,

Now let’s all enjoy the doggy days!

and his feet show it, cuz they’re………..

Hip hip hooray

…and moorage rhymes wit orange!

I’m glad those two can occasionally have their own form of fun.

Roscoe is in fine form today in each panel. He is the star of the comic.

Ironically that was the same question that inspired Jimi Hendrix to write Purple Haze!

Don’t look for a rhyme with orange, silver, or purple. What rhymes with orange. No, it doesn’t.

What rhymes with orange? oh, nevermind, another comic…
