I pre-ordered it and it came to my friend's hotel who just arrived to Peru on saturday and by monday I was already reading it =) !!! WoooW
Thanks Scott for doing such great art!
The funniest concept food I've ever come up with were Cheese Nietzsches.
The tag-lines for the bottom of the bag are a ton of fun to invent.

If Nimoy likes them, I'm buying 'em! It would be... illogical not to.
Apparently, your "better" thing to do is sit around trying to figure out how to work "numb nuts" into a comic...
The strip should have ended with her calling them numbnuts
"Nimoy Noms Num-Num Nuts" is probably the greatest sentence ever written
I'm guessing that the NSFW part was the crude use of lolspeak in panel 4. Correct?
Homoerotic is NSFW? I try my very best to slip that word in to meetings.
I was sitting quietly at my workstation with all my family asleep in the surrounding rooms... I hope to God I didn't wake them with my sudden outburst of laughter. this one is one of my favorites, EVER. keep up the good work, you're fantastic!
I have to say, if this one is NSFW, you work at a sad, sad place and need a better job.
In my country, there's a brand of beer nuts called Nobby's Nuts.
The slogan is "Nibble Nobby's Nuts!"
So... Maybe I'm new here, but is numb nuts really NSFW? Otherwise, solid cartoon. There's almost a Poe-like rhythm to Nimoy Noms Num-Num Nuts. That, and it has the potential to becoming a solid meme.
*David Caruso walks up to the body, a white sheet over the lower half. Sgt. Frank Tripp walks by.
"Well, sir, he was the CEO of Num Nuts incorporated. Looks like whoever did this injected Novocain all over the lower body of the victim. There was a cat near by, and someone has duct taped a caption to it reading 'Nom Noms.' But why?"
Caruso takes off glasses.
"Looks likes this CEO Nom Noms Num Num Nuts."
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there was a campaign in the uk a couple of years ago for a product called nobby's nuts:
Nobby's Nuts TV Advert (work safe -ish, it's a post watershed advert)
the guy, btw, is called Noddy Holder
I agree with Michael. Best sentence ever.
I have a few phrases like this that my wife has banned due to overuse.
'Homoerotic innuendo' and 'Miscellaneous genitalia'
I don't know why they're fun to say. They have lots of vowels and are vaguely inappropriate without being vulgar. I also like the word 'whamsplatter'. i.e. I hit a skunk and got whamsplatter on my car. Whamsplatter has assonance. I also like the word assonance.
This is the funniest BI I've seen in months.
this is all a bunch of monkey spank.
Do I have anything better to do than read Basic Instructions?
"Better? Yes. More Fun? Not even close!"
I wish real-world Rick in panel 2 would have said 'The details are unimportant!' as a wink to moon-Rick.
"Nimoy Noms Num-Num Nuts"
This makes me want to by Spock Stock in whatever company makes these.
And of course, the ad would have to have George Takei in it to put it over the, um, top.
For context, see Sulu taking on Tim Hardaway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s1iQODC5OI
AURGH! No! The phrase is "Numb NUT". Singular! 1950's slang, your Nut is your Head. It's just a different way of saying numbskull.
Here, let me explain it to you all. Just give me a moment to set up this projector, screen, laptop and audio system. You can leaf through this 68 page handout on why it is numb NUT. Please stay seated, there will be refreshments and fabulous door prizes after the presentation. Remeber.. it it numb NUT. * * * S I N G U L A R ! ! ! * * *
I'm definitely going to have to use "Whamsplatter" from now on.
on a fishing trip once my brother and i bought a couple ice cream treats named "Nuts Up!" hours of hilarz ensued.
"hey man, you got some nuts up on your chin." etc.
Another great one, but I must say I loved Jeff's comment so much I'm still tickled. I had to look up assonance, but yeah, I like that word too. I'll have to add "whamsplatter" to my vocabulary somehow. Can I use it for insects on my windshield too?
