When this strip first appeared last September, I was sorry that I couldn’t read Rhymes with Orange from a source that had a functional comment system, because I was expecting flame wars from the dedicated Star Wars fanatics. However, since September seemed most inappropriate for the subject matter, I decided to schedule this post for a more opportune date in May. There were, of course, two obvious possibilities, but I decided to go with the first one (feel free to re-read this eight days from now).
P.S. The cinnamon bun on top of the Queen’s head is a nice touch, but I will leave it to the considerate (flame-proof) fans in the CIDU audience to pick apart why this strip is just all wrong.

5/4 may be Star Wars day to most, but to us musicians it’s Dave Brubeck Day.

Or even Tchaikovsky day!
Brubeck as band leader and accompanist deserves a lot of credit, but Paul Desmond is usually cited as composer and originating soloist.
There was not a lot of recognition of Star Wars Day in the comics this year, but Blondie had one a day early (appropriately for the joke), https://comicskingdom.com/blondie/2024-05-03.
Also, what is the significance of May 12?
Mother’s Day, this year.
Of course. Thanks, Lost in A**2.
A rather surprising one was Pooch Cafe:
A “Kessel” is not supposed to “run“, it is supposed to “boil“. :-)
Turns out Amidala did NOT lose the will to live, she just lost the will to be in that story, faked her death, and retired to a planet that never shows up in the movies.
