Looks like the psychedelic home run structure at the Marlin’s park.

What’s the joke? It’s a fish sandwich held up by carrots, lemon slices, and grapes… That’s a number 16 at Morty’s on Seventh Avenue!

And now for something…

“No Coke. Pepsi.”

It’s the whirly gig that pulls it all together.

Where are the fries I ordered?

I spy product placement!

That looks expensive.

Just wait until the fish sits up, dons a top hat and cane, and starts singing “Hello My Baby Hello My Darling Hello My Rag-Time Gal”…

Dupea: I’d like a, uh, plain omelette, uh, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee, and wheat toast.

Waitress: No substitutions.

Dupea: What do you mean? You don’t have any tomatoes?

Waitress: Only what’s on the menu. You can have a number two – a plain omelette. It comes with cottage fries and rolls.

Dupea: Yeah, I know what it comes with, but it’s not what I want.

Waitress: Well, I’ll come back when you make up your mind.

Dupea: Wait a minute. I have made up my mind. I’d like a plain omelette, no potatoes on the plate, a cup of coffee, and a side order of wheat toast.

Waitress: I’m sorry. We don’t have any side orders of toast. I’ll give you an English muffin or a coffee roll.

Dupea: What do you mean you don’t make side orders of toast? You make sandwiches, don’t you?

Waitress: Would you like to talk to the manager?

Dupea: You’ve got bread and a toaster of some kind?

Waitress: I don’t make the rules.

Dupea: Okay, I’ll make it as easy for you as I can. I’d like an omelette, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce, and a cup of coffee.

Waitress: A number two, chicken sal san, hold the butter, the lettuce, and the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?

Dupea: Yeah. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven’t broken any rules.

Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?

Dupea: I want you to hold it between your knees.

You can get that at Bed, Bath and Beyond in the Beyond department.

What I really, really like about this comic is that it depicts people going for a sit-down meal in a restaurant and no one’s wearing masks. Yaaay!

What a great diner! :D

Doesn’t anyone else want to know what the Really Weird is?

The fish: “I never imagined I’d end up like this.”

Yes, how about April 2, 2023?
