Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for January 28, 2025

Cheese Louise

So he cut the cheese then?

This could drive a wedge between them

Havarti Gouda’scuse if you ask me

Inventive. Swiss cheese has possibilities for future strips. I think.

His story has holes in it.

He’s so holier-than-thou

Love it!

Who’s peekin’ out from under a stairway, Calling a name that’s lighter than air, Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow, Everyone knows it’s Windy.

Lyrics: Windy by The Association

Clever, good one.

Holy moley.

I would never tell a pro like Mark Parisi how to draw a comic, something I’m totally unable to do myself. But: when I saw this, my first thought was, “That should be a riff on the disloyal boyfriend meme.”

I dated a girl that was very jealous. How jealous, you may ask? Driving in my dad’s car, we got a momentary glimpse of a girl driving an oncoming vehicle … long, soft, red hair, in bangs that reached large green eyes, above her sumptuous lips. “Were you checking that girl out?” she demanded. “What girl?” I replied.

Now this cheesy joke.

How Cheesy!

“Everyone knows it’s Windy.”

Your alibi is full of holes.

His story has more holes in it than a slice of Swiss cheese.

Don’t make her jealous… she’s a muenster when she’s jealous.

It looks like the Swiss missed.

That’s a good reason to leave Chicago

Thanks for the chuckles this morning, Mark.

His explanation seems full of holes to me.

“Holy cheese, Batman!”

(facepalm) “That’s Swiss, Robin…”

It was an unfortunate co-wind-cidence.

Very creative today, as always. Whistling cheese is not what I expected as I started to read my comics!

what a cheesy comment

Looks like she Camembert his excuse.

I think there are a few holes in his story.

She’s Sharp!

At least, when she walked by, he didn’t cut the cheese.

Looks like trouble in Edam.
