The Elderberries by Corey Pandolph and Phil Frank and Joe Troise for March 17, 2025

Not funny, Dusty.

These comics usually are amusing, but this one is not.

Dusty taking Boons PB&J sandwich reminded me of when I was in the Army Americal Division and stationed at Chu Lai, S. Vietnam. I worked in the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) Section for the JAG officer CPT Horsley. A couple of SJA clerks had the afternoon off and they came in to HIS office with some crabs they had caught in the Chu Lai Bay. They had already cooked them. They only wanted to show what they caught. Horsley said, “Here. I’ll show you how to eat them.” Without asking permission, he took one and prepared to eat it. He was a self centered man. And a would be “hero.”
