What rhymes with orange? We'll get back to that. Rhymes With Orange is not about pianos falling on people's heads, but their experience afterward filling out the forms at Kaiser.It's about trying to log onto A-O-Hell.It's about packing for a trip -- Why is it that the shorter the vacation, the more shoes you have to pack?It makes demands: Why is there no good answer to the question, What's up? Hilary Price has managed to speak for her twentysomething generation by speaking only for herself. Her two-year-old strip, Rhymes With Orange, is like eavesdropping into her personal world view. What readers get is a varied, insightful, and current commentary on what a largely overeducated, frequently underemployed, and heavily marketed age group has to say about life so far.

People appreciate the truth and intelligence in its humor, and Price has amassed a loyal fan base of both men and women, from teenagers to boomagers.(Nothing, by the way, rhymes with orange. Price chose the title as a way to show the singularity of her strip and its humor.)
