Yes it is

Thanks, @beaglelady! That’s fantastic!

This I love

Beautiful! I have to share that with my wife’s MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) group! (Our youngest is 9, but she still helps).
I sure did, too, when I could administer either pumped milk or formula and let my wife sleep. Whew. I never came near as much time with the kids, of course, but I treasure what I had. It made me appreciate her work a bit more (not enough, of course)

Makes me wonder if the cartoonist accidentally added a zero.

Also, there is:

I’m shocked I figured out the second one. I’ll have to thank my son for sharing his random knowledge with me.

[Kendel]

Can I buy a clue?

I’d be happy to chip in, @Kendel.

I would like to buy a vowel please.

Okay - I know y’all were asking Laura here, but I can’t restrain myself any longer and I’m feeling a bit smug that I may have gotten these by myself (though I’m not entirely sure on the Yoda one).

For the bottom one … you recognize the creature as a tardigrade, right?
And there isn’t much in terms of sweet spreads that rhymes with that … except …

marmalade

Regarding the top one, my only thought was that there is a Greek letter that rhymes with the green personage featured (whom I presume you know - if you are cognizant of Star Wars universe). But … the symbol behind him doesn’t really match that … so … @Laura … I might need to take a number and get in line for one of your hints on that one.

Aaaaaaha! And after a consult with my wife, I’m now informed that what’s behind the Jedi master in the top pic is actually a musical symbol! So that makes it … Yoda on a Coda

And makes sense coming from Beaglelady!

[jpm (Phil McCurdy)]

Sort of sad that I immediately knew Yoda, but had no clue what a coda was.

[Laura (.EC.)]

I would never have been able to identify it by sight – I just had to pick the only musical term I knew that rhymed with “Yoda.”

That’s funny… I started with marmalade because I couldn’t think of any other orange substance one would spread on bread. I tried to make it rhyme with “water bear” and then I remembered it had a more “official” term that my son had told me.

[Kendel]

The first one was a cinch!
Well “waterbear” doesn’t rhyme with anything in the picture. Toast? Jelly? Maremalde? Confiture? Jam?
Ugh!
And @MarkD ‘s clue “chip?” “Chipped beef on toast?” I”m no longer in the ball-park much less left field.

Mystery solved. Thanks.
Sigh.

Thanks Merv. I’ll work on learning proper names.

[Kendel]

Is this a plea or a clue?

[beaglelady]

@jpm

It’s a symbol you often seen in sheet music. Coda is actually the Italian word for tail. I can post a video explaining how it works if you like.

Somewhere between a plea and proffering a bribe.
