"...scalding hot beneath a fragile cross." It's funny because its true. I've been really enjoying your work recently, It seems to me you have been really finding your voice.
Last panel was BRILLIANT! Another classic. You should tell Randall Munroe how to write comics.
Hasn't this been posted before? It seems eerily familiar...
I just ordered both of your books along with the Far Side Collection this week. I must say, I read the Basic Instructions books first and enjoyed every minute!
third window - "your your"
what's a TV dinner?
"Would it help if I blew on you.?"
Still chuckling.
Truth!
what you really nail here is how that after completely insulting men for 3 panes (with Missy joining in), you can make one quick comparison about the woman and the joke's over for her, you've gone too far. Or, as you said "hidden beneath a fragile crust". Both utterly true and immediately demonstrated.
So. Entirely. True. Hate to admit it, but it's true.
Hey, this is a rerun! at least mark it like that you cheater hahahah
Ana: A TV dinner is pre-prepared food that is heated in the microwave (or oven), that people (used to?) eat in front of the TV. I guess it is just convenient. But oh so unhealthy.
Absolutely hilarious!
You made my Monday happy.
Wow, just came back to BI after some months away and am thrilled with how consistently good it's become. Excellent!
That's what the crust is for, to make certain nothing will cool it down - until you dig in and get burned. One of your best, IMHO.
Ana -- a TV dinner is one of those frozen dinners that you can get in the supermarket. Crappy food that comes frozen and you reheat in the microwave and has all the different food in separate compartments in the paper tray they come in.
Being blown always helps me!
Now THAT made me laugh out loud.
*shudder* The timing of this one is a bit scary. Emotions are running a bit more ... raw ... in our household. Involuntarily unemployed for the past 4 weeks. Nuff said.
You manage to get a lot of funny jokes into a single installment. I wouldn't have thought stand up comedy could translate into the cartoon format so effectively.
Scott, I may disagree with you on red delicious apples, but you assess microwave apple cobbler quite agreeably.
What a great line and so true - " the apple cobbler of remorse".. This was one of your best cartoons.
Haha! Ahh, as usual the comedic highlight of my week.
What's a tv dinner? Only the best idea ever! They take unhealthy food, fill it with more preservatives than nutrients, then deep freeze the whole mess...so we can reheat it in our microwaves and eat like coronary kings for two bucks!
