Pie war!

At least it’s not beef with corns…

Long time since I had corned beef.

Am I supposed to understand today’s strip?

Definitely not your best work, Mastroianni and Hart. Sorry.

If the two clowns duel, is it with water squirting flowers or slapsticks?

Something to do with the season?

Bring in the clowns……

One of their best. Pastis worthy!

This is on corny joke today.

I wish I could get my hands on a brisket so I can make some corned beef.

As physics go, the best.

Thor is in today’s “Rubes.”

Corned beef, bully beef, or salt beef in some Commonwealth countries, is salt-cured brisket of beef. The term comes from the treatment of the meat with large-grained rock salt, also called “corns” of salt. Sometimes, sugar and s p i c e s are added to corned beef recipes. Corned beef is featured as an ingredient in many cuisines.

Most recipes include nitrates, which convert the natural myoglobin in beef to nitrosomyoglobin, giving it a pink color. Nitrates and nitrites reduce the risk of dangerous botulism during curing by inhibiting the growth of Clostridium botulinum bacteria spores, but have been linked to increased cancer risk in mice. (What they don’t tell you is that the mice are heavy smokers) Beef cured without nitrates or nitrites has a gray color, and is sometimes called “New England corned beef”.

I expect they’ll hash it out.

What a corny joke!!!
