Roast Beef Lies About Eating Bran Tuesday, November 2, 2004 • read strip Viewing 49 comments:

We've all been there.

We've all been the cat
on the floor
hanging up the phone
with grim finality.

This is beautiful poetry. In my case:

I was the cat
on the deck
in the rain
hanging up the phone
with grim finality.

This is some grade A comment right here.

this is internet babies writing poems about cartoon cats.

congratulations

I think I cried.

All lying on the floor, staring at the power socket we once puked into in order to get to hell, thinking how easy it would be to do it again.

Hey kids, this is what being an adult is like!

The only difference is that you don't forget how mad you are at the other person

The only difference is that you pay for your own Hormel Chicken Thighs in White Gravy.

Quality TM !

Yes you do. It typically corresponds to them either crying and making you feel like a main jerk or wanting to have sex.

Look at you, thinking that a conversation like this has anything to do with dysfunction.

To be a child again... sweet nostalgia...

This comment is funny because if both of you are to be believed, you are referring to a man five years your senior as a child wrapped in nostalgia, unaware of your own youth.

This is completely a situation I could find myself in anywhere in the next five years, including the incorrect description of "Bran".

Amazing that they managed to keep those chicken thighs below 50% sodium.

That's why they had to put them in the white gravy. Broth would have had too much water in it; they would have burst into flame before the box was sealed.

give him his props though

it was a hilarious point he made

Well, yeah, usually it's tied up in the form of salts, but there weren't enough anions to match up with all of it, as the package contains 50% sodium by volume (assuming a 250 cm^3 package, that's 242 grams of sodium).

Tellumo I have been following your progress with great interest and I can say that you are legit.

Here is your membership card and four coupons for a discount at either Belle Italia or the Co-Op.

Magazines say to eat a zucchini at 2 pm.

That click is very loud.

Comparatively.

Uh, isn't it a cordless phone?

that was the click of molly's phone, she hung up really hard

Damn, that is a loud click.

Daaamn, that's a long lace.

It is hell of a depressed clik.

That clik speaks volumes.

CLIKS

LOVE THEM

I think I'm going to have to adopt the fetal wall stare/coffee grinder when I talk on the phone. It looks comfy.

I do that when I have a tense call to make (such as one directed to a girl). The problem is that the floor is hard.

This is pretty much what I feel like any time I have to talk on the phone. Or at least what it must sound like.

It's important to note that the chicken thighs are in white gravy.

Heartbreaking.

I can't believe Hormel trademarked quality. They have yet to exhibit any.

Sometimes all you have is the electric socket for visual entertainment.

This is pretty much the conversation I have with my mom every time she calls. I am 24 :-(

Only people who really lov each other fight about bran.

It's okay Pogo, I'd fight about bran with you.

The first time I saw this strip, I interpreted panel 5 as Beef explaining bran to Molly because she was of the past and did not understand.

Then I realized that I also do not know what bran looks like.

Me neither, but I mean who does? No one eats just plain bran. We eat things that have bran IN them. Like muffins and Raisin Bran.

I have seen bran. It is terrible brown flakes of woe. I would be more worried about someone's mental state to know they had been eating bran than extremely high-sodium boil-in-the-bag chicken.

bran is good for you, dude. being all fibrous, and such, it helps your poo to stay manageable.

I don't know how to rate this! It makes me make the face on number one but I feel like it is a really good comic for making me feel sad that strongly! Poor Roast Beef!
