The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 29, 2021

Luke up the forecast

When it comes down to it, Yoda is just like everyone else.

He talks about the weather, but doesn’t do anything about it.

Dyslexia he needs for to be tested.

And so our hero who got muddled up in dew we or dew we not, went on to invent a decimal system still in use to today. However praise was not to be his for he perished in the stacks.

I think the Dew line was decommissioned!

Grooaaannn

Why ask why?

Well, technically, dew not would imply dry, unless there had been a storm last night…

I didn’t understand “RAINFLY” so I checked: A rainfly is the floorless, waterproof outer layer of a double-wall tent.

It appears to be kind of like an umbrella (or an extra tent) over the main/regular tent to help keep out rain. It can also be used by itself.

Groan…..!

OK, so I guess you have to be a Star Trek fan to get this…? It’s too obscure for me; my sci-fi exposure begins with Warehouse 13 and ends with Eureka.

I like this pun, even though it seems a little forced. There was no ‘need’ for Yoda to do the “Dew or Dew Not.” line to indicate that “There is no dry.”

There is no dry because this (whole planet of Dagobah) is (basically) a swamp. So even if it doesn’t rain, or dew doesn’t form in the night, it’s still going to be moist – “There is no dry.”

And after a supper of campfire baked beans, the farts will be with them.

This joke is officially overdone and off limits to all cartoonists suffering writer’s block.

I guess you had to see a movie or show to get his one.

Clueless I am.

Mountain Dew instead of Canada Dry, I suggest.

Yoda: “Dew or Dew not?” Shakespeare asks: “To Dew or Not to Dew?”

Nike says: “Just Dew it.” A Mountain Hillbilly says: “Just Dew the Dew.”

Red Skelton took care of it in the move: “I Dewed It”

When Luke was taking cooking lessons from Yoda, Yoda’s most memorable advice was about frying donuts….“dough or dough not…there is no fry”. Cartoon reminded me of this old joke.

I guess I dew not care.

don’t get it at all

Ba-da- – bing! That’s right folks, Scott will be playing here all week.

The day after my mom had a hip replacement, the physical therapist came in and asked if she was ready to stand and walk. She said she’d try. My sister had a note printed up “Do or do not! There is no try” and pinned it to the cork board across the room. Now completely annoyed, my mom said, “I’m going to walk over there, rip that thing up, and throw it in the floor!” And she did. Then got back in bed.

Time to do the Dew.

They measure dew in 0.1 increments. It’s called the Dewey Decimal System.

An attempt at dry humor which washed out.

Does that mean Luke is a bed wetter?
