Some of those recipes are very slightly on the semi-homemade side of things. Like this one:

What gets me about it is that you start off by doing some stuff that's gonna turn out pretty decent all on its own and then it goes straight to DUMP IN TWO CANS OF SOUP. Congratulations you didn't so much "cook" as "heat up some canned soup with other stuff."

Buuut others like the brussels sprouts one are perfectly fine, will probably turn out really good and are pretty easy so on the whole, me and this strip, we cool.

That lovely president brie is cheap. Tastes like it too. Presumably, you can also use any soft runny cheese like Camembert as well.

Has anyone ever considered trying to cook anything from this strip? I'll admit that I was tempted to when I read the strip in my paper, but I never got around to it because we never had any necessary ingredients.

I saved the one about turkey cabbage rolls so that I can make it later. The loaded baked potato soup looks pretty good, but not quite as good as just having some loaded baked potatoes. Seems pretty hit-or-miss, but I like it and I hope Darthemed never stops posting it. :3::hf::chef:

The only thing I can come up with (after spending more time looking at this than I'd care to admit to) is because her hat matches her purse and shoes. I'm not sure how this would really rule out her stealing the hat today, though.

Edit: I feel like the answer probably relates to the water dripping from his umbrella, but can't see any indication of her hat being wet or dry.

I did the first one that was posted. The huevos rancheros on a tortilla. Except for a mistake on my part where I didn't grease up the pan and the tortilla stuck, it was drat good.

None of the head mannequins are missing hats, so she couldn't have taken anything that was on display.

The "ravening beast" strips really creep me out. It's like Brooke is trying to romanticize men being uncontrollable rapists and women should totally want to have that effect on them. :psyduck:

Thank you! These strips have been driving me nuts but until now I haven't been able to verbalize why. Other good Brooke comments- that person a while back who wrote he's from the school of writers that think sexual aggressiveness is the only positive character trait strong female characters need.


Explains a lot about Gilchrist too.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:

Off the top of my head- the main guy is detecting something in the future. At some point the chick has figured out she's been reincarnated in a new organic body with her old brain and is just being a goofy spaz about it. The bald guy is explaining what's actually going on to the main detective character who apparently hasn't been keeping up on the latest technological trends. I think the mystery has something to do with an image that came from the hamburger. Not sure what the chick and the bald guy's relationship to the investigation is. Maybe they're the ones who hired him?

That doesn't actually make a lot of sense now that I've written it out. Still easier to keep track of than Jane's World, though.

I think the mystery they're being hired for is to find out how and why the woman was cloned, and the hamburger is there just because Zachary is burgin'.

I'm not liking the comic too much, to be honest. I am starting it from the very beginning, though, so I'll give it a chance and keep posting it at least until the end of the first arc.

I can't really answer that first question -- figuring out what the gently caress happened in Zippy is rarely easy (or worth it, honestly) -- but yeah, it seems to be a guest artist. Conrad Neruig? Something like that? I can't really read the signature in the gutter.

"Brown bread" obviously means something different here to the definition I'm used to, which is just wholemeal bread. Is this an American thing, or a 100 years ago thing or what? And what does "brown bread" actually refer to here? Rye bread? Does "white bread" mean any wheat bread, whether it's made of wholemeal or white flour?

In the past, white bread was considered a luxury (since it discards so much of the wheat and requires more processing and sifting, and then it's bleached too) and white fluffy bread wasn't what most people used, they used whole meal flour and the resulting bread was darker and denser, and healthier but back in those days they didn't know that and white probably equaled healthy in most peoples minds.

About a century ago was about when typical white flour was becoming affordable for your average folks I believe.

Conrad Nervig, which is the name of a Hollywood editor (first winner of the editing Oscar back in the 30s) who died in 1980 and was not in the habit of drawing cartoons as far as I know. This whole thing is just what Griffith has decided he wants to be doing this week. I like it. A lot of the time (though not always) it's best to just take Zippy as a parade of inscrutable Americana, I think.
