Ray chewing in a more satisfactory way
Sarcasm noted


I meant that the chewing looked better in panel 8 (which I now realize isn't just "chewing" but "disgusted chewing").  Yeah, in panel 10 it looks like big O just cut and pasted Ray from the Waterbury strip.  Chewing?  Looks more like his tongue is trying to escape through his cheek.

I meant the Meh and saying that the Cheatlloaf Tasting was somehow inferior to the Stork/Burrito/Todd/Van trainwreck  was sarcastic, although I fear perhaps it wasn't.

The right thing to do would have been to make the strip link to an explanation of who the hell Carolus Linnaeus was.

If you don't know who Carolus Linnaeus was maybe this isn't the right comic for you. Don't feel bad, there's always The Born Loser.

damnit, I didn't know who Carolus Linnaeus was and I've been reading and enjoying this comic too. I guess I better stick to Family Circus because I DO know who god is.

Are you hating on The Born Loser? Why? I mean, the fat guy has a mean boss who never gives him a raise yet has bags of gold coins stacked around his desk. Then sometimes the fat guy is at the bus stop and it starts to rain. Oh, and theres that tramp who's always got a saucy retort for the judge.

This Born Loser sounds like a good comic. Where can I read The Born Loser? Newspapers?

Well, at least Pat decided to out and out tell them it was "Cheatloaf" instead of trying the old trick many a high-strung militant vegan has pulled on their family and (in some cases soon to be ex-)friends, the "Here, eat up! AHA IT WAS A VEGETARIAN BEST-ITUTE I SERVED YOU, NOT REGULAR HAMBURGER/PIZZA/TUNA CASSEROLE/ETC.! Were you fooled? Are you ready to convert?" bit, whether they are trying to convert or trying out a new dish they made or picked up at the local vegan co-op grocery run by filthy over-mellow hippies. Even some other hardcore vegans think that this is a lame thing to do.

But I suppose it was more an ego thing for Pat. "Of course they'll like it. I prepared it with carefully calculated precision, and it is good for them! They'll doubtless savor the flavor and notice how carefully I blended the ingredients."

I eagerly await the Journey Into Reason followup.

I don't think he'd say that because savor and flavor rhyme and rhyming is too plebian and hack-poetish.

I am for real honest-to-god big on taxonomy and the Linnaeus bit made me almost crap myself with delight.  I am neither kidding nor exaggerating. It has happened before.

Jokes that reference things are funny in inverse proportion to how many people get the reference.  I think there's just an inherent amount of funny to be had in any joke, and the more people get it the more it is diluted.

This is why I loved this strip, because my funny joke about Linneus was not diluted by all those people who don't know who he isoh crap i sound like pat now.

It's like "you had to be there" stories.  If you were there, it's fuck*ng hilarious.  If you weren't, it's mildly amusing at best.

Why am I lecturing?  This was teh funnay.  I LOL'ed.  Waffles were duly roffled.  Asses were laughed off, people.  OFF!

I didn't even realise it was Pat until he said 'Cheatloaf'. Also note that he is writing notes before they taste it but not after. Probably noting how they are obviously entranced by the tender meal before them.
