Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for July 14, 2012

Why isn’t Clem hogging all the mud to himself?

One of the rare times Clem actually gets to spend time with his grandma. Usually she only comes to visit Pasquale.

So, Clem’s mother is Rose’s sister? Does Jimbo have any brothers or sisters? Why doesn’t his mother ever visit them? I started reading this strip after Pasquale started speaking adult English so I never even knew about the baby talk until I read it here. I guess I missed a lot of the family history too.

The easiest way to catch worms (parasites).

Enjoying a rare unhoggish smile from Clem.

If they like mud between their toes, they should have come to the Isle of Wight Music Festival.

Clem is actually a little girl. Somehow I missed that in the story line. The other day I saw someone mention Clem being a girl, and wiki confirmed. Thanks Slywlf for the wiki idea.

This is the life! I wish I could magically go into that comic and join them. I’d fit right in.

;)

Thanks Sly

Hmmm. Just Googled Clem and Wiki seems to be the ONLY place that thinks Clem is a girl—and even Wiki contradicts itself further down in the description of Fanny by saying “Clem gets his selfishness from his mother” HIS. I think his hogging and balloon fights fit a boy better—although the hairdoo is questionable :-)

Isn’t Mimi’s father Jimbo’s brother?

Do we need to put politics on this comment thread?
