For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 01, 2014

Hilarious!! Well, everything does taste taste better when you’re eating out. Even hotdogs lol.

Hotdogs…that’s about all John can make LOL I’ll bet Elly is going to be not so happy when she learns about what the kids ate…hey, at least they got some “Dad” time! ;)

So reminding me of the “Calvin and Hobbes” story line that while the mother is sick, the father was going to make dinner based on his college days (waffles and soup).

Ah, but these are gourmet hot dogs.Actually, hot dogs made in a diner, restaurant, whatever, are often grilled, and can come with assorted toppings not usually available at home. (And here I am, at 1:20 AM, about to go to bed, and craving a grilled dog with kraut and mustard. Maybe onions, too.)

I’m glad my mother taught me how to cook eggs. I learned to make hot dog omelets.

About 60 years ago I learned from my cousin, who then worked in a meat pacing plant, what goes into hot dogs, bologna and other pressed meats. Haven’t had one since. ???, you ask…external organs and orfices.

@ howtheduckI don’t seem them ordering. I can only see them perusing the menu while a distant waitress passes in the background.But I do notice that the role of servitude is, again, only filled by females.

Geez people…a Hot Dog is the remnants of the cow! If it isn’t a steak or roast (ie, looks pretty), it becomes stew and hamburger. The bones become soup and stock, the skin becomes leather, the rest of edibles is called offal. Kidney, tongue, ears, testicles. Either the butcher ate those (butcher’s cuts) or they were ground up with fillers and spices and made sausage.

Pizza might be something different once in a while.

Once they are combined in Hot Dog form, I have no problem eating any of that.

OK one hotdog please !!!!! 8^)

pack up and go out? never heard that before

never saw that one coming

Wow! “Um, I’ll take the sides. Hold the dog.”

I had a kid do that – everyone else wanted seafood but he had a tantrum and insisted we go to a steak house.But it was Easter Sunday, the steak house had a set menu and what he wanted wasn’t on it so the little brat ordered – clam chowder.

The party demanded that we go to the seafood house but the brat’s mother refused to leave. Looking back on it, we should have left those two and gone out to the place we had planned on going.

John’s expression in the last frame is priceless! LOL!!!

When my boys were Michaels age, they would ask for an adult menu. (They could get hot dogs and mac & cheese at home).

Send him to bed without supper!

April Fool joke is on me, all my comics are blank

Ever notice the price differences between brands of hot dogs? The cheaper ones use the “leftovers”.

When I had to cook,my menu consisted of macaroni and cheese with chopped (top grade) hot dogs.Kids thrived on it!

When my mom was out of town we had hot dogs and Wheaties. Not together! At least, not usually.

What poor service? They’ve got their menus, right? Also, why are you obsessing about an earlier strip? That’s been well-settled!

Are Kosher dogs any better?

No imagination. But kids have simple taste.I cook chicken at home and it is well ok.But when I go to have Chinese take out it’s areal treat.

What’s up with this business of “Michael is a pig, Michael is a pig!” ??
