Gloria seems fun, I've always said this

Mother Goose and Grimm, 10/20/22

You know what? You, yes you, have made the conscious choice to taked time out of your one wild and precious life to read a weblog called "The Comics Curmudgeon," and sometimes the posts on that weblog aren't going to be really very intellectual or high-falutin' and will instead just boil down to "god I find this particular comic strip irritating." Anyway, today's Mother Goose and Grimm irritates me because I want the "lake" part of the setup to figure into the punchline. It rhymes with "bake and shake" but it turns out not be relevant at all? Usually the generic version of this kind of wish actually refers to the "ocean," which is why using a rhyme like this that ends up a red herring is all the more annoying to me. Is there a lake that's profoundly important to the Mother Goose and Grimm deep lore? One I don't know about?
