'''''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]] [[rhyme]]s with "[[orange (word)|orange]]". It was first [[print syndication|syndicated]] in June 1995.<ref name=Holtz>{{cite book |last1=Holtz |first1=Allan |title=American Newspaper Comics: An Encyclopedic Reference Guide |date=2012 |publisher=The University of Michigan Press |location=Ann Arbor |isbn=9780472117567 |page=331}}</ref>

While the strip has no named recurring characters, common themes include [[cat]]s, [[dog]]s, and absurdities of modern life. It appears in over 400 newspapers daily, and won the Silver Reuben for "Best Newspaper Panel Cartoon" from the [[National Cartoonists Society]] in 2007, 2009, 2012 and 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.reuben.org/ncs-awards/division-awards/#panel |title=Division Awards |year=2013 |publisher= National Cartoonists Society |at=Section: Newspaper Panel |access-date=June 4, 2013}}</ref>
