Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for May 16, 2010

Get confused with those double digit numbers do you?

Yeah, I’d demand a recount if I hooked a pizza.

Bait for pizza? $5.55

He is a fishhawk

More like pizzahawk

Or a fish pizza.

The older we get, the more we have to count. Trouble is we sometimes forget what the last number we said was and have to start over again!

So, are anchovies bait or the catch? Blessing or ???

I once had a dream where not only did I catch a fish, but it was already breaded and fried….Still trying to catch the cole slaw…

This was looking good, until the punchline. Should have spent a few more minutes on it.

This reminds me of the old days of Shoe, when as a running joke, the Professer would send Skyler off to camp every summer. Of course it was the fact that these where Marine Camps (Camp Lejeune, Camp Pendleton, Camp Geiger, etc), so Skyler kept on getting in the Marines. ;)

scbaguru - Did you catch chips with that?

Mrs.Luke - concur. Cassatt & Brookings now appear to have enlisted a MacNelly (who started the comic 30+ years ago) but it didn’t help. The Pre-Punchline punchline was better.

But, pizza IS my favorite fish! I saw a T-shirt a couple days ago that said, “Bacon is a vegetable.”. Why let reality wreck your day?

hossblacksilver - I loved those, too. The drill sargeant always addressed them as “Yew Maggots”. I had a friend stationed at camp LeJeune for a time, so it was extra funny.
