Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for June 15, 2023

Spoil sport! What’s the big deal? Why won’t you return his ball?

That ball will end up in Rose’s attic along with all the others to give her some Summer breeze when she gets the Winter blues.

That will teach Corky.

Hey you “Son of a Beach” give him back his ball.

And why would Jimbo get out of his nice, comfortable pool?

“MARCO!”

Same reason grown ups won’t return kids’ baseballs.

No splash pool is complete without a beach ball.

Go and get it, Corky. Jimbo is not getting up for you from his comfy pool sitting position.

No one noticed that the newspaper seems to be in the water? Or at least the bottom of it is. Maybe they have waterproof newspaper in the “Rose is Rose” universe?
