The Comic Strip That Has A Finale Every Day by John "Scully" Scully for March 31, 2022

NATIONAL TATER DAY

A family of potatoes sat down to dinner…There was a mom potato, dad potato, and three daughter potatoes. The oldest daughter potato said “I have exciting news! I’m getting married!”

The family bustled with excitement. “We’re so happy for you!” said dad potato, “who is the lucky fellow?”

“He’s an Idaho potato,” said the eldest daughter.

“Oh wonderful,” said mom potato. “Idaho potatoes are solid, salt-of-the-earth types. Real hard workers.”

The middle daughter then spoke up, “Wow, what a coincidence! I was also just proposed to!”

Again, the family expressed their excitement. “Who proposed?” asked mom potato.

“He’s a sweet potato,” said the daughter.

“That’s wonderful,” said dad potato. “Sweet potatoes are known for their kindness and gentleness. He will take great care of you.”

And wouldn’t you know, the third daughter chimed in: “I’m getting married, too!”

“My goodness, all three of our girls are getting hitched!” exclaimed dad potato. “Who is your future husband?”

“Dan Rather,” said the youngest daughter potato.

A hush fell over the table. The parents and two older daughters looked awkwardly down at their plates.

“What’s wrong with Dan Rather?” asked the youngest daughter potato.

“Well honey,” said the dad, “he’s just a common tater.”
