Interesting fact about this one. I thought of it only about a week or two ago. But since I work pretty far ahead there was another comic already sent for this date. Knowing this idea had to run in May, the syndicate flipped in this one. The original comic for this date will now run in July. Just sayin’
Call me lazy but I think I just would have shelved it for next year. You know, one less comic I’d have to do later…
I didn’t get this one at first and was tricked into expanding the image and trying to read the writing on the right side (it looked like an arrow pointing to it). I thought maybe it had something to do with spring-cleaning.
Wow. It never ocurred to me that the little line in the bottom drawing, meant to be a indication of the continuing wall, could be looked at as a line to the book tag. Of course, I’ve had my cranial fluid replaced with 10W30 instead of 10W40 so that might be the problem.

Blazek,

Then I got it. Nicely done.

@lpsguy: Thanks for the background! (I’ve always thought that when there’s a backstory to a day’s comic, it’s interesting to know it.)

MrGromit, how did a promo for the book help you to “get” this April showers gag? … Dave, I too like hearing the background story.

April showers bring May flowers and Mayflowers bring pilgrims.
