When one dines with clowns…

Good morning, LB.

I miss Soupy Sales!

MARG! Are you completely done seeing the foot doctor?

That’s what you get for going to Klown Kafeteria, Drippy green one!

I sense a mega-zap coming soon…

I think she wants to get a closer look at your flower now.

That’s the service you get at “La Clowns”.

My kind of strip today.Nothing quite like a pie in the face to induce a little humility.For those into real marksmanship with pies, would like to recommend a viewing of the undisputed experts in airborne pies:“The Three Stooges Pie Fight (1941)”at youtube.Just think of stimulating local economies by launching pies like this nationwide.And the satisfaction you’ll get when letting local politicians have it.

Yep, life’s like that.

I was trying to figure out what happened to the clown’s thumb between panel 2 and 3. My guess would be it is folded down behind his hand, thus hidden from view. Either that or Broomie is zapping him one digit at a time.

The first comedic pie in the face was the 1909 Essanay Studios silent film “Mr. Flip” played by Ben Turpin. He was fresh with a woman & got his just desserts, literally.

Service with a smile.

Music here: “I am the pie in the sky, looking at you, I can read your mind . . .”

Name that tune :-)

No pies…but..I did have a flaming skewer dumped in

my lap once..still ate it though it was good..Those Brazilians know how to cook meat..
