The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for January 18, 2021

Don’t think that’s exactly how that works.

Looking for the cross in the first panel is an exercise in futility.

That’s a pretty tough question for the first one!

Napoleon III, And yes I looked it up. I guess I’m not as smart as a 5th grader. My 3rd grader ask me questions about science I have trouble with.

Burl did better than I expected. I thought he was going to say “the president isn’t French, he’s American”. BTW, I have no idea who the current president of France is.

and Dale will get the correct answer from Timmy….!

He coulda tried that thing Cliff Klavan tried in that CHEERS episode when Cliff was on JEOPARDY: “Some guy who never ate at my kitchen table”………

My daughter was doing research on France, so we went to an online encyclopedia (before wiki). They still had the previous president listed a year after the election. A letter to the editors got us a quick response and apology the next day. It pays to listen to NPR and the BBC.

Emmanuel Macron

Should be an easy one for Burl. Every time he hears it, he thinks, “Ummmmmmm. Macaroon.”

“Monsieur President”, he finally answers………

Burl, you’re a genius!!! Who else would have thought of that!!!!!

Now Burl know the answer Now Burl knows the answer Now Burl knows the answer

Different topic. Two sisters, one has a shirt saying no one is home, The other is bete, French for stupid.

Found it!
