Day by Dave by Dave Whamond for July 18, 2024

Groan!!!!

Oh, good one. I wonder how many remember who she is. Was.

People half my age (I’m 78), don’t know who she was. How long can cartoonists keep milking this?

If you young’uns don’t know Carmen Miranda, look her up on YouTube. She was rapturous fun. Boom chicky boom boom.

Man, what a fruitcake!

The whole South American pop culture phase was brief and should be revived for at least another short while. Boom chicka boom.

Well, she IS appealing…….

Does a Piña Colada count?

I remember Carmen…….funny stuff!

This is one JUICY case!

There was an old filk song about her in the future- >

Shouldn’t she be in the Conga line instead of the Customs line?

I wonder if she’s got one of those giant banana spiders in her hat?

This joke is old as dirt. It goes all the way back to the Johnny Carson show. Came out shortly after the Warren court more closely defined the rights of the accused.

This all looks familiar to me …!

Great tribute from Jimmy Buffet; “They don’t dance like Carmen no more”

Ask GOOGLE/YouTube to play it for you!

This is almost too old a reference. I know who Carmen Miranda is only because I saw her in old movie musicals shown on TV in the afternoon – locally back in the 60s and 70s. And I was born during the Second World War… But it is still cute if you know movie history. and know/watch police procedure shows.

Chichita Bannana, is just right for you!

Finally. I have been waiting for this one for sometime.

If they don’t get it, let ’em look it up on the internet. They may learn something.

One of my friends is a gay Puerto Rican. He refers to himself as such.

I must be old. I remember her. Who can forget such a character?
