Adopt, don’t shop (for horrifying nightmare beasts)

Six Chix, 11/29/25
Big news, everybody: By the year 2045, frenchies and dachshunds will have been somehow bred to be more than six feet long, and capable of bipedalism and matchmaking to boot. What has driven mankind to take these steps, and what will the societal effects of these giant and apparently intelligent dogs walking among us be? Please, Six Chix, tell us now, I need to prepare myself for this terrifying future while I can!
Dick Tracy, 11/29/25
“Yeah, so, for the criminal guy, can you use some pics of Jason Lee from the mid ’90s as reference? Just pick whatever name you think makes sense for him.”
Mother Goose and Grimm, 11/29/25
Ah, man, looks like Grimm’s dead? Rest In Power Grimm, 1984-2015, you were one of the title characters of this strip so they’re probably going to have to change the name, assuming they keep running it.

Whaddayou mean, Jason Lee? My name is Earl!
DT: Okay, I had him pegged as Jason Lee even before reading the dialogue balloon. “Oh, so on the last weekend of Movember they arrested its patron saint Earl, did they?…Holy crap, they actually did? That’s kinda messed up.”
Dick Tracy-Looks more like Jason Lee from his ‘My Name is Earl” days than his “Mallrats” days.
FC-“And not when you’re hurling whiskey bottles at me.”
MW-“But Ian was gone for all those weeks and there was no way I could get in touch with him.”
MW-And cue the dream sequence.
Today’s Six Chix could be a prequel for Slylock Fox.
Dick Tracy-Did Jason Lee give permission for any of this?
Chix (sic): Wait. Anthropomorphic dogs are the owners and people are their pets and subject to selective breeding?
Piro’s nightmarish vision of the future makes Orwell’s 1984 look like Shangri-La.
Dick Tracy-“We wanted to get Brandon Lee but he wouldn’t return our calls.”
And the Dick Tracy team didn’t even mention he had very small genitals in an attempt to keep Jason Lee from suing for misappropriation of his likeness and defamation of character…
@Liam: too soon?
Between Friends : You’re being love-bombed, you naïve idiot.
(Now, from what I know about love-bombing, based on where I first learned about it, eventually Blonde Friend is going to be coerced into feeding a demonic statue shovelfuls of gravel)
*************
Dick Tracy : Is the bad guy in the third panel calling him “F*** Tracy”, or is he calling him his actual name, just from his tone you can tell he means the word “Dick” as profanity?
*************
Dustin : He’s not being charitable, he’s passive-agressively fighting with you because you said he was entirely, annonyingly negative the entire night, and he’s all “NUH-UH I LIKED SOME OF IT!”
*************
Hagar the Horrible : doesn’t know that Lucky Eddie’s menagerie is also his harem.
*************
Luann : Okay, this is DEFINITELY a case of “Though Mom did most of the work, Grandma got all the credit, because the Father-Daughter duo, having never lifted a finger to help, never noticed or cared”
Yeah, I’m doubling down on this, because I’m not accusing ONLY the fictional Father-Daughter duo, I’m accusing both*************
Mother Goose and Grimm : actually, Grimm is fine, it’s just that he checked “cravings of human flesh and/or brains” and “loss of higher brain functions” on the symptoms list, because, according to him, “well it’s not untrue!”
*************
Six Chix :
a) It’s okay, if you’re drawing human-sized bipedal dogs, you can cheat and give them human limbs, saturday chix.
b) So, 2045 is the start date of the Animalocalypse, and it begins with pets deciding to reverse who is the “parent” and who is the “cute baby”. “This is my boyfriend” is a VERY EUPHEMISTIC way of saying “these two dogs forcibly adopted me and now I’ll be living in a tiny shed in their backyard
*for the rest of either my life or theirs”*which, according the comic strip Luann, isn’t THAT much of a humiliating circumstanceB. Bailey: Guy riding toy car comes upon Camp Swampy and actor playing the mythical Beetle Bailey.
“Yeah, this part of the theme park sucks”
SCx: You know, I have to give a little credit here: a lesser strip would have imagined some futuristic scenario where humans are assigned romantic partners by cyborgs using psycho-biometric deep learning algorithms instead of …dogs. It’s almost as if they’re imagining a Dune like scenario when society has gone through a Bulterian Jihad against technology, only instead of replacing it with magic space dust, we’ve replaced it with…dogs.
DT: Wow, the censors are really clamping down on the comics page: they won’t even let them use the titular character’s first name anymore.
MGG: Wait a minute, Grimm: did you read the results or the AI summary? You can’t just read the summary. The last time I asked if I had strep it told me i had Paris Syndrome.
(Also, Josh, are you saying that Grimm in fact died 10 years ago and has been putrefying ever since? I mean, I guess that is a pretty unnatural colour for a dog…)
The lettering in this Mother Goose and Grimm is unsettling. Looks like, though they usually hand-letter the dialogue, they’re using a font today.
Marvin: While his parents are sick in bed, Marvin is allowed to roam around the house unattended? Presumably, free to use kitchen appliances or his father’s power tools? He’ll either kill himself, his parents, or both which, all things considered, is a win-win for every party involved, audience included. I’ll allow it.
Pluggers: And Pluggers wonder why they can’t fit through the bathroom door.
@10 Anonymous: on Hägar the Horrible: Lucky Eddie’s aquarium is his harem.
Six Chix-What Marmaduke has joined together no man may tear asunder.
Crankshaft has read Moby Dick, but learned all the wrong lessons from it.
GT: Kit Mills is doing a good job with the art, just in time for the writer to confuse Milford and VT.
Gasoline Alley: “Hey, this guy with the fancy car prays? Mebbe he’s a good fellow after all!”
Blondie: Dagwood was doing ASMR since radios had tubes.
Beetle Bailey is on guard duty again. Camp Swampy is defended by the best thing imaginable: Every threat, foreign and domestic, knows it’s not worth conquering.
RMMD: Augie is wooing her with words, in a way we didn’t expect.
H&L: “When was the last time we went to a movie together?” From the sound of it, when it was cheap enough to take a family of five to the theater on the spur of the moment.
6C: The freaky show dogs are getting their revenge. This woman may find her dog-mediated pairing cute, but let’s see how she feels a few generations down the line when her deeply inbred great-grandchildren all have huge jowls and stumpy little legs and are about 10 inches tall.
@Liam: That’s exactly what I thought when I saw this. Especially since they are clearly setting up this drug mule for a horrible, gruesome death at the hands of Bozo* because why else would they plaster his face all over the TV if it wasn’t to flush Bozo out of hiding? Because, as we all know, criminals cannot resist exposing themselves to arrest (and their own gruesome deaths) out of sheer, petty spite.
I wouldn’t have thought a lawsuit from Jason Lee of all people would bring down the Dick Tracy strip, yet here we are.
Luann: The Evansii must live in the largest glass house in the world.
MW: Well, since you clearly now live in Scarlett Johannsen’ inky void from ‘Under the Skin’, I don’t think you have to worry about Ian anymore.
RMMD: Yup, that’s all it takes to make this situation all better. The book is just ‘really good’. Take Blondie’s word for it, folks, because we’re clearly almost to the end of this storyline and it’s too late to make any real drama out of it. No time to tell the audience what the book actually says!
*Can we drop the backwards name pretense, already? Even Chester Gould himself realized he’d overused the trope and dropped it by 1941!
Six Chix:
Like all depicted comic strip animals, Rex and Fido here have been bowdlerized (bow-wow-wowderlized?) in the style of the Pillsbury Doughboy.
SXCHX: For true dystopia, I would’ve made the next generation quadripedal.
RMMD: “Wow, if you read more than just the title page and dedication, there’s a whole STORY. No wonder people like these book things!”
MW: Please don’t make us watch Toby dream of birthing Ian-birds.
MG&G: Well, “The Bob & Tom Show” hasn’t changed its name, even though Bob retired, like, ten years ago, so maybe not. And don’t even get me started on the Allmann Brothers Band.
Six Chix:
“We’re not sure he’s our daughter’s type. We’ve got a bone to pick with the two of you!”
Mid 90s? Nah, My Name is Earl hit the airwaves in 2005. I guess this is gonna be one of those “comic strip time” situations.
Mother Goose and Grimm:
“Well, according to this, I’m clinically dead! — you know, like the ‘plot’ lines in the current Judge Parker!”
MW Toby, you don’t want to know what Ian would try if you manage to establish “it’s OK to change the household without consulting your spouse as long as it comes naturally” as a rule in your relationship.
Curtis I call shenanigans. Red onion’s thin layers look nothing like an apple when sliced for garnish
JP She saw that Charlotte is happy so clearly it’s time to send her back without Alan and Katherine facing their issues and making any changes to how they cope with their troubles to ensure that Charlotte isn’t neglected again! But it’s the holidays so it will all be fine!
FC: Thel smiles when she realizes Jeffy has unknowingly given her a new, fun sex verb.
Later, “Happy me, Daddy! Happy me real good.”
G #$$%^#! Thorp: I’m guessing Neil Rubin would not have come up with SKIDIBI or 6-7.
Well, I was not expecting Six Chix to be an advocate for furries, but…here we are.
Six Chix:
“Thanks to these two Dog Stars here, Mom and Dad, Rick and I are getting rather Sirius!”
DT:
“Pound sign dollar sign at sign exclamation point asterisk, Tracy!”
“Man, it sure was cathartic to shout uppercase symbols at the TV when they showed that pesky gumshoe!”
Six Chix – Twenty years seems a little quick for breeding for the traits Josh mentioned. A more realistic punchline would be “we were introduced by ChatGPT!”
MG&G – Oh, clinically dead. But is he really most sincerely dead?
Don Abundio, translated:
“We’re about to go over the falls! Let’s have one last kiss”
“Wow! I should find a bigger waterfall!”
Vintage Hi and Lois: Isn’t Lois’ brother Beetle Bailey? Did Beetle look like this before Sarge started pounding him?
@CanuckDownSouth:
On MW: Not to worry, I doubt anything has ‘come naturally’ for Ian in years. HI-YO!
On JP: Catherine n’ Alan must have got wind of the raspberry-haired brat’s unsettling newfound happiness (that ‘Can we get a Squirrel???’ face… the horror… the horror!!) and are putting their foot down. ‘In this strip, everyone is morose, sullen and pissy-faced, young lady, and the sooner you get that into your precocious little brain and get with the program, the better!’
CS – Is this the moment when Ed gets involuntarily committed? Or Batiuk’s idea of a one-off.
6C – Well, Wilbur Weston was hoping for a hookup from Pierre and came dangerously close to getting one.
@richardf8:
Considering how often Ed Crankshaft has demonstrated he’s a danger to himself and others without anything happening to him, what’s chopping off every limb in the neighborhood except those of the tree he’s aiming at?
@richardf8:
Also, didn’t Saul and Eve end up meeting because Greta and Max hooked up?
Six Chix: Don’t worry, those giant dogs are robots. (And the young couple are humanoid cyborgs, who will reproduce together following a high-speed information transfer from his HDMI cable to her data port.) If you’re going to show us a horrifying future, you might as well go all the way!
Dick Tracy: If you look at a recent photo of Jason Lee (say, in his role as the president’s dopey brother on Netflix’s “The Residence”), he has a receding hairline and a graying beard. Yep, time marches on, unless the AI image manipulator you’re using was trained on Wikipedia and 2005 TV Guides. (You’d think the same people who invented a wrist radio in 1946 would have better trademark-infringement tech.)
Mother Goose and Grimm: Don’t worry, Grimmy, you’re a fictional character who was never alive in the first place!
Pluggers: Will this plugger really always get his “just desserts”? The artificial food dye that gives his apple pie filling that bright red color is being phased out by manufacturers. Our world is changing so quickly, eventually he might have to eat fruit that doesn’t even come from a can!
GT: Say what you will about Coach Kim’s AI coaching program, convincing AD and inexplicably acting coach Mimi Clover to dress her Valley Tech team in Milford uniforms resulted in a touchdown thrown by the kid who got her daughter pregnant. Bet Gil never saw that coming.
Six Chix: At least go with “hyperdogs” or some other sci-fi version of canines. Also, it’s funnier if the dogs talk and/or take over the world. Thanks.
@ValdVin: GT – truly – but we can retcon it being the moment that Marty fell off the wagon and started to drink on the job again.
SixChix: This is what happens when you are not specific with AI. Yes, the dogs were supposed to be standing up as if they are begging for attention but the program didn’t scale them appropriately. C’mon SC – learn to use AI properly.
DT: Does Jason Lee’s agent know he is appearing in a comic strip now?? This is an exercise to show how real artists and writers creating real new original characters aren’t needed when AI can do copy and paste on an industrial scale.
Gasoline Alley: Okay, it is harder to find a charging station out in rural areas. BUT long extension grounded cables and gear running 240 are not uncommon.
GT: the writer clearly is “hep” to the latest thing among the kids, even got a shotgun – pistol formation look with the right guard set up in a passing down stance. A little confused in frame 2 how Pedro has a Milford M on his helmet but the center doesn’t? What is Marty Moon drinking? Milford just got down close and he is saying “Can VT score?”
MW: Tobey has had many blissful calm quiet days. She had forgotten what happens when Ian gets angry!
Phantom: so basically the baker aides are asking “you and what army” are going to take down the General – that guy with the striped shorts?
JP: what, cutting back to the US?? We want to know what is going on in Norway.
RMMD: Summer realizes that Augie is writing for the Romance genre and it is now at the steamy heaving bosoms part.
@The Quiet Man:
What?! No! Anyway, I can stay to argue this crucial point further. I have to get back to my completely ordinary hometown of Nilbog….
Six Chix: Oh I see Saul from Mary Worth is today’s guest writer.
Mother Goose and Grimm-Just because you are clinically dead don’t think you can get out of being in this comic strip.
Luann-And Luann isn’t allowed to touch the stove or microwave.
I’m looking forward to our nightmare future where dogs are bred by generative AI.
***
I was worried about Dick Tracy getting in trouble for using Jason Lee’s likeness, but then I tried to remember the last time I saw him in a role and he’s probably just happy to be mentioned in anything these days.
HtH: Sid!! What th—?? How dare you have the unmitigated gall to place ANOTHER HORSE in Hagar!! When I, the Star Equine, haven’t been seen in weeks! And a FEMALE Horse at that! Wearing similar makeup to what I use there! People could think that’s ME appearing as a lowly EXTRA!! Since when did Lucky Eddie get a menagerie, anyway?
Oh, I know you got a sweet deal, placing all those Animals there for a quick one-day “joke” … you even got Garry Skunk to do a walk-on. At his age. Well, just remember – I’m the one who got you connected with Hagar in the first place after I landed the Honi’s Pony role … which is turning out to be a slow go … maybe I’d better review my contract again…
Previous comment vanished into the ether, not sure why…
C’shaft: It’s funny because Crankshaft is a danger to himself and others and drives a school bus for a living.
Dustin: Tonight? Try “in his life.”
GT: I don’t know why Leo decided to use meme references for his audible calls, but I’m here for it. “420! 1337! Over 9,000! HUT!”
JP: “And then moving back in with Neddy until next Christmas.”
Luann: I’d replace the guilt with a side of “tell Luann she can cook dinner for the family if she’s feeling so smug about it.”
MW: Dawn had a Psycho-inspired dream sequence during the Belle Batsfrey saga, which makes me very hopeful we’ll see an homage to The Birds tomorrow.
@CanuckDownSouth: Toby’s a modern woman; she might be into that sort of thing, depending.
Six Chix: Upon first seeing the comic, I saw the dogs before the guy, and thought that one of the dogs was the boyfriend, and was squicked out.
Then realizing that this is presumably another Slylock-apocalypse scenario, I relaxed. Because if any comic needs an animal takeover its Six Chix.
Today’s Zits is a repeat from 2018. I recognized it from a mashup I did when it first came out.
@Tabby Lavalamp: Hell, I had to look up who Jason Lee WAS. I’m not familiar with any of his epic works — oh, wait. He was the voice of “Syndrome” in The Incredibles. That’s pretty good, I guess.
The Family Circus Spanish to English. (Not politically correct.)
Don’t worry, it’s not the start of the Slylock Fox animal takeover, it’s the start of the Pluggers animal takeover. Those dogs will eventually become old and fat but at least they’ll drag their humans there with them.
Six Chix – The American Humane Society, realizing the human population faced extinction due to late stage capitalism making child-rearing too expensive, launched several breeding and training programs to make dogs who could find their owner’s romantic match. If you ever see a bumper sticker with a pawprint adn the phrase “Who Rescued Who?”, you have seen an agent of the American Humane Society’s rescue mission for all humankind.
Dick Tracy – The creators of Dick Tracy know that Warren Beatty is in his last years, and are already planning to seize back the intellectual property and plan for a series. Jason Lee must have signed on to bring back his redeemed dirtbag character Earl Hickey for at least a storyline, so we can expect this to be a comedic take on the detective story.
Mother Goose and Grimm – Grimm’s not dead, he’s just way out of date. No one uses Google or WebMD anymore to be told their symptoms are cancer. It’s all about using ChatGPT to feed our delusions, senses of grandeur, and hypochondria.
Six Chix: Generally speaking, anyone who says you can discern a writer’s real morals or issues through their work is full of shit. But in this exception that proves the rule, we see that the writer of Six Chix clearly has something deeply wrong with them.
Dick Tracy: Basing a Dick Tracy villain off Jason Lee as his gimmick may be an indication that the creative team of Dick Tracy is running out of ideas for wacky villains to be murdered by Dick.
Zits Spanish to English.
REX MORGAN M.D.: I kinda love Summer’s reaction. “Wow I didn’t know being stalked and traumatized was so much fun (giggle)!
REX MORGAN M.D. (2): Also as a reminder, the people of this universe would find a book solely consisting of big-haired, truck-stop waitresses reciting meatloaf recipes to be a fascinating page-turner, so I’d take it with a huge grain of salt the “excitement” of this novel.
LUANN: Two days after a holiday is my leftover-free meal. Yay, burritos!
CS: first, unplug chainsaw.
FG: bet Bones is actually protecting Flash and Aura to get them safe
Ah, to be a Six Chix creator, where when given the task of creating one or two comic strips per week, your response is to come up with an arbitrary and more-confusing-than-funny scenario, after which you rake in the big bucks. Or are we sure this strip isn’t a money-laundering scheme?
Crank: “911, what’s your… Oh, hi, Jeff. It’s the wrong time of the year for the fire brigade, so I’m guessing ambulance? Boy, that father-in-law of yours is quite a character, haha! I’ll see if I can get them there before he maims himself or anyone else!”
DT: Because this is Dick Tracy, and all characters are functionally omniscient except when that would speed the story up, Ozob instantly realises that, if Dick Tracy has arrested this drug runner for drug running, he is inevitably going to be questioning him, not about his drug connections, but about his custom car.
RMMD: I’ve gotta be honest, simply not telling us what it is about the later chapters that makes Summer decide that, actually, it’s fine that Augie cashed in on her trauma is probably Beatty’s best option here (short of not having her decide that, which I don’t think he considered as an option at all). It’s still stupid and annoying, but at least it’s not specifically stupid and annoying!
(It’s probably going to get specifically stupid and annoying tomorrow, isn’t it?)
6ix Chix: “We were introduced by our dogs! Dogs who like to fuck either of us, and who are both big enough to be the one to decide when and where it happens! We actually don’t like each other, we just like each other’s dog and we make the rest of the relationship work somehow! Oh, and bonus observation, they’re both named Clifford despite neither of them being red!”
@65 Horace Broon:
Well, not the book itself.
Dustin: “Your father complained the whole time. He went on rant after rant about how poor people should just pick themselves up by the bootstraps and stop getting handouts. Meanwhile, he was gleefully stuffing his face with free food at a charity event full of holier-than-thou smug assholes gorging on filet mignon and drinking champagne. …uh, wait, sorry I lost my train of thought. Tell your brother he’s a burden on society!”
@TheDiva: GT: I don’t know why Leo decided to use meme references for his audible calls, but I’m here for it. “420! 1337! Over 9,000! HUT!”
LOLWUT 80085 would surely be a winning play.
@Everything Is Better With Monkeys: Too late.
Tomorrow in Curtis.
Curtis loves horror movies. Tomorrow he gets to live one.
DT: Did Jason Lee consent to a storyline where he’s a drug runner and still dresses as Earl Hickey only with fire engine red hair because he works for a clown? Because at least one of those sounds like a dealbreaker.
6C: I’d think it was sweet if my hypothetical daughter met her fiancé through their respective dogs. If they were giant bipedal dogs who looked like they were about to eat me, I might have second thoughts.
Hi and Lois:
Lois: “Great idea, Chip. We’ll see a family film!”
Chip: “But, but…”
Hi: “It’s great how you come up with those ideas!”
Chip: “Wait, I…”
Lois: “No need to sell us on the idea. Family film it is!”
Dot and Ditto: “Snerk!”
Trixie: “Blrbtheh? (Hey! What about me?)”
@Sequitur:
H&L: One time, my little brother got to choose which movie the whole family would go to see. Ever the ballbuster, he chose The Ritz, a pg rated comedy about the goings on in a gay bathhouse. I swear I thought I saw steam coming out of my stepfather’s ears by the end of the flick.
@74 Hibbleton:
I guess he could have chosen The Birdcage.
BB: It’s a real head-spinner to find out simultaneously that Camp Swampy has an urban myth status on the level of Area 51 and that any civilian can breach its perimeter in a Shriner’s parade minicar.
C-Shaft: Yesterday, Crankshaft had to climb a ladder (standing on cinderblocks) to get to the leaf. Now he’s on the same level as Pam, so is she standing on the garage roof? And yes, I exhausted my interest in Crankshaft somewhere in the middle of that last sentence.
Dustin: His enjoying some of the people they talked to definitely falls under “tell, don’t show.”
GT: The “Skibidi” and “6-7” in quick succession are sapping my will to live. Look, people, I’ve never really denied being a Plugger.
JP: It should have occasioned some true soul searching on the part of the elder Parkers that Neddy of all people could make their granddaughter happier than she had been with them, but I doubt it has.
Luann: It raises the question of how Nancy DeGroot made it this far in life if she can be guilt-fu’ed by a nitwit like Luann.
MW: Can’t wait for Toby to tell Ian how Sunny came into their lives when she was wondering if they’d waited too long to have parrots of their own. Just imagine what stunned silence sounds like in a Scottish accent.
Phantom: I wonder how long Patrolwoman Han has lived in Bangalla while remaining blissfully ignorant of the Phantom and his whole deal.
Oh, now they finally realize #$@!*, Tracy’s first name could be read as obscene.
C’mon, all, Jason Lee in Dick Tracy is still SUPER better than Rick Reilly in Gil Thorp. Remember that? The beer won’t kill my memories, either.
6Cx: The Six Chix/Pluggers crossover nobody asked for.
@Activist: re: FG: I can accept Bones turning out to be a lousy sneak and double-crosser. What I don’t buy is them being gullible enough to be tricked by a special effect hologram into believing Ming is alive and ready to grab all the power back.
Well, Roger and Anita met through their dogs, in Disney’s “101 Dalmatians.” except that was sweet and heartwarming.
Dick Tracy: The “Dick is an obscene word” that mudges have been joking about. There was a funny anecdote, about in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, there was an anime years back, which introduced a human sidekick for Sonic. Chris Thorndyke.
The entire fanbase hated him.
Way down the years, there was a Sonic the Hedgehog visual novel, where at the beginning when you name your character.
If you use the name “Chris Thorndyke” your character rejects it saying “I wouldn’t be showing my face around with a name like that”
The irony is, it’s not a deliberate reference to the character, but rather he’ll say that if the game detects a swear, and the censor filter caught the word “Dyke”
@The Rambling Otter:
How is Dick Van Dyke going to play this game?
@83 Human-eared Dragon:
Or Hans Brinker who stuck his finger in a dike.
@Human-eared Dragon: A: Under an assumed name.
B: After tripping over an ottoman.
@TheDiva: hopeful we’ll see an homage to The Birds tomorrow.
I’d prefer Being John Malkovich. Toby wanders through a nightmare Charterstone where all the characters have parrot heads, and say only “HA HA HA”.
@TheDiva: Or “Planet of the Birds” where Toby is captured by humanoid parrots.
Then she sees the half-buried Statue of Liberty.
Toby: How did I get to New York?
@Ken: I miss Duck Dodgers, the shorts, the series. Everything about it. Warner Bros. has seemed to lay that spinoff to rest.
One episode of the series, had a space virus called “The Fudd” (a parody of “The Flood” from Halo) everyone who gets infected, their faces turn into Elmer Fudd’s face and stand in place doing Elmer’s signature laugh, over and over and over.
It was actually kind of creepy.
Late Thread Cuisine: This time, from Down Under.
@Baja Gaijin: From “Down Under” you mean the pits of Hell, right?
@Baja Gaijin:
I found the original recipe card. I must say it seems like a lot of work to royally fuck up vanilla ice cream. On the bright side there is no Vegemite. Well, I think that’s a bright side. Come to think of it, Vegemite might be an improvement.
@89 Baja Gaijin:
I had no idea kangaroo turds are white.
@Baja Gaijin: At least it’s not made from Vegemite, as far as I can tell.
@Baja Gaijin:
#89. It’s so pretty Id take a bite, after removing the red Outback bugs. The supporting pillars look like soft cheese so would need to be eaten while firmly frozen.
@94 Activist:
The pillars are ladyfingers.
@Sequitur: I believe it. It’s a well-known fact that the Australians engage in cannibalism. That’s what happened to those young ladies in Picnic at Hanging Rock.
@96 Ukulele Ike:
In 1900 as the 19th century oozed into the 20th century, all the animals of Australia gathered round and watched the humans and said to each other, “What the heck?!”
@Sequitur: An event which Ray Davies, a profound student of Australian history, magic, and folklore, memorialized in the song “Animal Farm.”
@Sequitur: looks like they were going for British Christmas pudding flavours in the vanilla… yeah. Not much to my taste but I’d probably enjoy it a lot more than the traditional steamed marinated boozed-up candied fruit mess.
@99 CanuckDownSouth:
At least this wasn’t the worst thing Baja submitted us to.
MG&G: While I am aghast at the overall ensh!ttification of Google and the low-quality sites it prioritizes, looking for pet care takes me to an inner ring of Dante’s Sh!tferno. Wading through dozens of AI-written websites with contradictory information no matter what.
Grimm is probably fine.
@Sequitur: Lois is the sister of Beetle Bailey. However, in some of the early Hi and Lois strips (1950s), Lois had another brother: Bruiser. He is probably younger than Lois (based on this strip). He’s definitely older than Beetle’s youngest brother, Chigger. Bruiser only seems to have appeared in a handful of strips so he was an idea that didn’t pan out and was dropped early on.
Mother Goose and Grimm doesn’t really have to change the WHOLE name. They can just drop the final “m” and that should work fine.
