Let me mull over that…..

If Monks don’t know nothing, they make great wine. If I were younger I’d make a great monk

Well, at least he wasn’t trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored…

Amazing grapes how sweet the taste (that made a wine so sweet)

But did they save or rescue anybody?

That’s two mentions of mulled wine in the comics this morning (the other was in Andy Capp). There were also two mentions of Tik Tok in two strips. I suspect collusion.

Another ‘red letter day’, Roz is stunned—twice in a week ! ! ! !

Share! Share!

I think “Weird Al” Yankovich has already gotten a copyright on that joke.

Today is the first day in my 75 years that I have heard of mulled wine. Coincidentally it showed up in both Shoe and Andy Capp. (And I’m not done reading the comics yet. If another strip mentions it, I’m going to flip out.)
