Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for August 25, 2023

Who’s going to give him a toast? Or some toast?

We shall give him a proper berrial.

Looks like they just jammed him into that jar.

All they need is some biscuits.

There’s more than one strawberry in that jar.

He’s all pectin there.

When you get into a jam…

You could say the he’s Jam Up and Jelly Tight.

This is cute!

They thought it’s be tough, but they started working on him and it just jelled.

You should see the peanut funeral in the next room.

Oddly, there is a line of bread waiting outside the building.

A berry nice job indeed.

who’s got the bagels?

It was the fruit of his labors.

He was a peach of a strawberry.

Preserved, yes. But he looks so unnatural they had to use a label.

On his gravestone, his epitaph will be a UPC.

His death was rather jarring

Someone left his casket ajar.

“Burial will be at Strawberry Fields, forever.”

When Corn died, he was cream-ated.

The trip to the cemetery caused a traffic jam.

He’s well preserved. He can “rest” assured that his “passing” has meaning. He will provide tasteful enjoyment to others

Nicely done.

I heard that one of people to stop by an pay respects is Darryl Strawberry.

They did a great job at de-seeding him, too!

He looks so Natural. The Organ(ic) Music was a nice touch.

Ew

“Though he’s left us, we can still enjoy the fruits of his labors…”

Grapes to jelly, strawberries to preserves, we are gathered here today in remembrance….

Looks like he was in a jam

Aw, that’s so sweet!

The comments are superb! Thanks, everyone. And of course thanks to Mark Parisi for the cartoon that evoked all those comments.

Aww.

They played “Turkey in the Straw(berry)” at the service.

That makes me berry berry sad.
