   If Finkleman had insisted that they WERE in a row, that would have been a canard.

   Get your “ducks in a row” is an expression used to tell someone to get organized. Finkleman thought he said, “Get your ducks in a roll”.
   
   Don’t thank me. Just buy the mug, or the tee shirt.

   Oh…. I guess that’s it, Richard and Dogsniff.

   
   I’d thought maybe he’d heard “roux”…. but that’s not a roux… and it rhymes with threw, not row, anyway.

   or a “dough?”
   But who could take “row” for “dough”?

   @Dogsniff

   If that’s the joke (and I’m not convinced it is), pretty damned lame.

    Since most of us don’t pay to see these comics, I see no reason to complain.

    @mickjam: I’ll admit it may not be one of his better ones, but I don’t know anyone that can produce masterpieces on a daily basis. Not even me, but on this one I’m correct little buddy. I don’t know (or care) which part of it you doubt, but like Susan Sunshine pointed out, Richard S Russell also sees it.

    I assume you’re not a regular reader (seventeen comments in 4 years was my first clue). I read this one daily, and that helps when they’re tough to “get”. This is hardly the first one that made us feel stupid. And then there’s Brevity.

    I don’t think this strip is such a lame duck, even if it did fail to quack up a few people.

    No, see Finkleman thought he meant row (rhymes with cow) and soon those those baby mallards were squab-bling so bad that they wound up in a stew which, of course, calls for rolls so …
    Yeah, that’s what happened.

    There’s no ducking the boss. Well at least he didn’t put the ducks on a rope.
    

    
    I thought this strip was funny, but then I’ve heard the expression before.
