Overboard by Chip Dunham for September 14, 2015

The other pirates see this and run like heck when he rows toward them.

One way to keep from getting attacked, All other Pirates boarding the ship have to take a dozen zucchini.

Well perhaps now the Rabbits will leave you some.

As a zucchini grower, I can’t help but love this to death.

I bet the rabbits won’t even touch the stuff.

Good morning Crew!

We always plan to get up in the middle of the night and see how this happens overnight. The 8th wonder of the world.

Good Morning Crew,Two choices here eat it oar give it aweigh !Have a GREAT DAY MATIE’S

All chant after me:- OVER THE SIDE; OVER THE SIDE …..

Very funny!

As a FORMER zucchini grower, this is so true. The vegetable that won’t die!!!

Zucchini goes great in a lot of dishes (soups, stir fries, casseroles) and even desserts (quick breads, muffins, cakes). I’ve seen recipes for pies, but haven’t made any.

This is one of those strips where you just know a similar incident must’ve happened in the real life of the cartoonist. In fact, looking at the older Overboard strips (which focus largely around dating woes) and comparing them to those of more recent years, you can readily imagine Chip’s life gradually transforming from that of a young man playing the field to that of a more settled life, one which includes having a Labrador and tending a vegetable garden (while trying to keep pesky rabbits out!).

I just hope his house isn’t really overrun with mice, lol.

I do have a question tho. How does a 6 inch zucchini grow to 3 feet over night?I agree with Capt KIdd it must be elves or magic or ?

“Show me a man buying zucchini in the grocery store and I’ll show you a man with no friends.”

I plant one plant for use by three families and I still give some away.

I love zucchini, but that is even too much for me!

And my zucchini has blossoms, but no zucchini, not a one, not yet. Too late now for them to do anything, sigh! And they were planted in PLENTY of time.

Good afternoon Crew!

Or you can stir fry the blossoms and skip the zucchini stage altogether.

One plant, and it produces two new zucchinis every day.

One last comment: if the squirrels raid yours like they started to with mine (must be desperate in the drought), sprinkle them with cinnamon. They stay away from it. Works!

Personally, fried zucchini works every time.

Didn’t get a one this year. A few of the plants are still alive, but they didn’t make a single fruit. Don’t know if it’s the soil or all male flowers. The yellow squash didn’t do any better.

gopher gofer GoComics PRO Member said, about 5 hours ago: or…you can just rip out the zucchini and be thankful you didn’t get any…

LOL! LOL!

No, I don’t know what the problem was. Been gardening a LONG time, learned from my Dad. This is the first year I have had major problems like this. The only thing that really has given me a “bumper crop” is my peppers and carrots. It has been a strange summer here though. So maybe …

Well, at least he won’t have to grow any more for a few more years …

’Evening, Crew.
