Rhymes with Orange
Rhymes with Orange is an American comic strip written and drawn by Hilary B. Price and distributed by King Features Syndicate. The title comes from the commonly held belief that no word in the English language rhymes with "orange." The strip was first syndicated in 1995.
While the strip has no named recurring characters, common themes include cats, dogs, and absurdities of modern life. It appears in over 400 newspapers daily. It has won the "Best Newspaper Panel Cartoon" from the National Cartoonists Society, in 2007 and 2009 and 2012.
The cartoonist is a pet owner, an avid hockey player and downhill skier. She suffers from celiac sprue, requiring that she maintain a gluten-free diet.
Collections
Three strip collections have been published, Rhymes with Orange (1997), Reigning Cats and Dogs (2003), and Pithy Seedy Pulpy Juicy (2007).

I must admit I've been holding back
And I got somethin' to say
Now I won't let the words get in my way
I guess I'm feeling my confidence
'cause the time has come
Time to make the cat let go of my tongue
But I don't know how to say it
Maybe we could play this little game
I hope you catch my drift when I say
It rhymes with...
Dove
Have you gotten the picture yet
Or should I say it twice
Maybe the first time around I didn't get it quite right
I wanna make myself perfectly clear
So there's no doubt in your mind
I wanna let you know how I'm feeling inside
But I don't know how to say it
Maybe we could play this little game
I hope you catch my drift when I say
It rhymes with...
Glove
Oh what I'm thinkin' of sounds like
Rough, tough, all that stuff
It's one word, one syllable
It feels so unbelievable
But I don't know how to say it
Maybe we could play this little game
I hope you catch my drift when I say
It rhymes with...
Oh I don't know how to say it
Maybe we could play this little game
I hope you catch my drift when I say
It rhymes with...
Dove
You know like, shove
