Messin' around

One more pottage gag before we move on!

When I was going to school, one of the best pizza places in town was right across the street from office where I worked for my campus job. I ate there nearly every day. Later on, I lived right next door to it. I'll tell you what — I'd take a pepperoni and pineapple over a bowl of beans any day!

At the end of the line

Sego root and crickets make excellent toppings, I'm told.

Pepperoni service

My brother-in-law brought a pizza to the hospital for us just after my youngest was born. It was one of the most memorable pizzas I've ever had!

Reading does a body good

When I was in middle school, I had a book report due for my English class. I hadn't finished reading any books, but I had read Alma — so I did my report on that. Hey! It was a chapter book, right?!

Our kids were always super excited for the summer reading program at our local library. They offered weekly prizes, and culminated with the coveted free pizza coupons for participants.

I don't remember what grade or feedback I got on my Alma report, but I wish I had kept it. Dang.

Reasons to murmur

 

Latest research shows that this happened right around the time of the Broken Bow incident.

Well, that doesn't stink!

According to the internet, studies show that Halloween night is one of the top five nights for pizza delivery in the United States. I'm pretty sure that it's because it makes an easy and effective defense against vampires if you load up on garlic.

One of our local pizza places has garlic knots that are potent enough to keep vampires at bay for weeks!

An eye-opening experience for the mouth

It’s always the food that surprises them. Crêpes are amazing in France (as are the French fries) and pasta and pizza are awesome in Italy. 

The language often surprises them, too. Especially when they realize the people in country are saying the exact thing they studied in class! It’s like they discover that they’re in on a secret code!

That's to go, please

OK, I promise this is the last locust-related gag for a while! 

This cartoon brings up so many questions for me! Wouldn't it make sense to have a food cart out in the wilderness, since John was bringing in crowds of people? 

Do you think that locusts and honey would be a sweet/savory combination, like perhaps pepperoni and pineapple? 

Doesn't pizza make sense? The Romans probably brought some of their cuisine with them, right?

Where did the pizza guy get that hat? The color scheme is vaguely reminiscent of Burger King's uniform in days gone by.

Worlds without end

Raise your hand if you've ever seen leftover pizza from a function missionaries were involved in. Anyone? Didn't think so!

This reminds me of something we did during the pandemic shutdown. We did our best to support local businesses, particularly our favorite restaurants.

One night, we decided to have pizza for dinner. We like to spread our business around, so rather than order everything from one pizza place, we ordered wings from one, bread, salad and dessert from another, and the actual pizzas from a third.

All the delivery people showed up at about the same time, passing each other in the cul-de-sac or in the driveway. There were some confused looks — and we had a great dinner with our favorites from each restaurant!

What a deal!

And there are people who think that putting pineapple on pizza is wrong!

One with everything

There was one week early in our lockdown where a "varied diet" meant that we ordered from a different pizza place every night. Somebody has to keep them in business, right?

Get it to go

Restaurants here are on drive-thru, pick-up or delivery only. We're worried about some of our favorite dining places and local small businesses, so we're doing what we can.

Meanwhile, our missionaries are pretty much confined to quarters: no in-home teaching, no street contacting. They're supposed to get outside for at least an hour each day for exercise and exposure to sunlight. I really hope they get along with their companions!

They've found some creative ways to teach: delivering messages in-home via technology, live streaming lessons, and doing whatever they can given their protective restrictions. Keep your local missionaries in your prayers!

That's not how this is supposed to work

You've gotta ask the right questions when you're trying to get the answer you want,

The year in review: Top Ten, part I

...and here they are, the first half of this year's Top Ten! Enjoy, and have a safe and happy New Year's Eve!

No. 10
There was a specific demographic — math teachers — who really liked this cartoon.


No. 9
Somebody knows who their customers are!


No. 8
This is another one that found a peculiar audience of its own...


No. 7
Not all of the favorites were fun ones, but I had to pay respects to one of my childhood heroes.


No. 6
There's something to be said for being a modern-day pioneer. Thanks to Mary S. for this idea!


Tomorrow: the rest of the Top Ten!

Size matters

Missionaries are usually pretty quick about finding the best places to eat in an area. And those places to eat usually find out about the missionaries pretty quickly as well!

Finding the right incentive

I don't know why, but the kid doing the shoveling reminds me of Peter Fox from Fox Trot.
