Scary Gary by Mark Buford for August 04, 2018

Yes, I’m sure, Bert, it’s sherbet!

First thing I check is if the second “r” crept in. Considering the situation, though, I don’t think I will bother Leopold about it while he’s hungry.

One of these days, Leopold is going to run into a SEAL or a Ranger or Green Beret and get quite a comeuppance.

Who’s orange Herbert? Yes, I know what was written.

hey, it is mid morning where I am, but count me in

Which one goes better with townspeople, red or white wine?

Leo knows that most people (and gouls etc) say “sherbert,” similar to those who say “Jaunty Alouette.”

Nope, wait until he meets a Marine, then it will be a lightly grilled, marinated little green monster for dinner. I really hated those c-rats in the field. If it moved, it became food.

Orange you glad he shared that.

Lemon water can do the same.

Sounds like a plan. Just don’t overeat, Leopold! —There’s always tomorrow, you know….

Sure, Bert, have it your way. But, speaking as a grammar Nazi and spelling nerd, it’s a sure bet that people say ‘sherbet’. Monsters, though, they’re just different (I don’t wanna get eaten and desserted, y’know!).
