"Alright, butter was a bad example"... classic
misspelled but classic
Ahahaha
One of the best final frame punchlines in a long while. Nicely done, sir.
Washington state? I'm still here. I'm also tired of country music and mullets. I still love red delicious apples, though
My uncle was poisoned by a Red Delicious. I haven't been able to come near one since.
I don't like red apples as a whole, I go with green.
Also, you have a typo in the blog-post title, 'your' should be 'you', but you've got it right in the comic.
That butter bit reminds me a bit of my childhood... sneaking into the kitchen at night with dad... just to eat butter...good times.
The last panel is hilarious.
And red delicious apples are one of the biggest lies known to man.
Simply brilliant. A perfect closer.
OK, the last line made me laugh. It's all about timing.
mmm, big stick o' butter goodness!
This comic is amazing because I relate to it on all levels. Red Delicious really are deceptively named. The punchline though is what really got me. Bravo sir!
"You should at least taste my apples. My apples are sweet and so very full of juice."
Is it me or does this sound dirty? It sounds like he wants to get him sticky.
I too hate red delicious, and have never really bee able to trust golden delicious because of them. Their name is a bigger insult to the word delicious than american cheese is to America.
RD apples must be the most polarizing of them all, and I blame the name. Personally, I have yet to discover an apple I like BETTER.
my favorite thing about red "delicious" apples is when they have that green layer just under the skin - it takes suckage to a whole new level.
The local YMCA used to run an ad here with a woman eating an entire stick of butter - it made my wife so ill she couldn't watch it.
Best final panel in recent memory & thats saying a lot!
Yes, almost every apple known to mankind is superior to the Red Delicious. I'm partial to McIntosh myself. Honeycrisps are good, too. They actually taste sort of like honey and are crisp, unlike the lie that is a Red Delicious.
Another similar voice here, but I had to chime in. The comic was just sort of plodding along, but by the time the last panel came along it caught me completely unawares. I actually snorted out loud in appreciation.
Having the boss's text half-covered was also a nice touch.
In UK English, all right is two words, just like all wrong.
Just for the record, red delicious apples are *terrible* for pies. When you bake them, they basically collapse into apple-flavored sand. Just one more reason to hate the things.
I'm going to guess your from somewhere near Wenatchee?
I hate Red Delicious apples.
Heh. Not only funny, but so true.
I had something similar happen to me once: I was walking down the street, and a stranger offered me a bite of his half-eaten apple. I declined, and he accused me of racism.
If only he'd offered me butter . . . .
'All right' is the correct spelling. 'Alright' is non-standard usage, slang, incorrect.
I have never been offered apples before, nor anything else quite so insistently. I am sure this will come in most useful when that day does come. Thank you.
I think your next one should be on people missing the point of comedy cause there busy spell checking the work.
Red Delicious apples are my fav, but *only* for a short while after being picked - they do degrade quickly in cold storage and stores, which is why many of the ones you buy in supermarkets are bland or squishy or grainy. But a crisp red delicious a day from the orchard, bought in September from a fruit stand near Wenatchee - yum.
The cartoon, however, rocks. The final punchline is classic, and could, quite frankly, be used as the punchline for any number of jokes.
"All right, butter was a bad example." Pure awesomeness.
