I recently bought some potato pierogies, and as the son of a mother with two Polish immigrant parents, I was surprised they were not awful. But I always knew my mother really couldn’t cook.
Being the son of immigrants, I grew up eating pierogies. When I can’t get the real thing, I rely on Mrs. T’s Pierogies. I wish I had a bag in the freezer right now. And some sour cream in the fridge. And a few bucks in my pocket. More hair on my head… and a woman in my bed.
Last week, Lucas Wetzel of Universal Press Syndicate linked to a couple of my interviews and spotlighted a few Frog Applause strips on the editor’s blog. http://www.gocomics.typepad.com/editors
Lucas works for John Glynn, one of the VPs at Universal Press.
IMPORTANT POST-INTERVIEW NOTE: I am unaware of how many pierogies Mr. Wetzel or Mr. Glynn are capable of eating at one sitting.

INTERVIEW WITH LUCAS WETZEL

Teresa: What’s the worst thing about having John Glynn as your boss?
Lucas: John used to be a police officer in a rough part of Chicago, so he’s not someone you want to mess with. He can interpret body language, and he knows when you’re hiding something (folded arms and shifty eyes are dead giveaways, I’m told). That and he insists on working self-deprecating jokes about his hair into his interviews with creators, which can be awkward for everyone. Other than that, great guy.

Teresa: What’s the name of the street on which you first lived?
Lucas: Adams

Teresa: What’s your favorite 14-letter word?
Lucas: Haberdasheries (with nymphomaniacal as a close second)

pained: that’s better than a woman in your freezer and pierogies in your bed.

Isn’t eating pierogies in bed one of those crazy you-can’t-eat-peanuts-in-church laws?

Squeezing her poor nose, hence farleftside’s comment.

Whatever the hand is doing, it would be 20% more painful if not for the missing finger.

You gluttonous little brat, lol. I love this; it’s like the opposite of “Quiet, Mr. Smartypants.” “Talk, talk, or I’ll pinch your nose!”
