In this episode, Clyde cuts up with some jokes at the saw mill! He’s always looking for a way to make the cut, and his humor is anything but board-ing!

Tune in for some cutting-edge comedy, a few groan-worthy puns, and plenty of laughs. Clyde may know his way around the saw mill, but when it comes to jokes, knock on wood, he's pretty good at it.

Stay tuned for more Clyde adventures from WGHSEA!
