When you think about it though, this sort of is out there – lots of canned foods, and mixes and frozen packaged foods with prep instructions – or recipes – included with it, just like a cook book.
The Da Vinci Cod: a Fishy Parody by Don Brine actually exists. (Pen name of an English writer, Adam Roberts. He also wrote a couple of Tolkien parodies as A.R.R.R. Roberts) ‘Cod’ is English slang for a joke or hoax.
I think the average life span of comic cats is about fifty years.
“Call me fishmeal!” Oh, no, you din’t!!! Darby, Darby, Darby! You deserve a small beating and then a kiss and a hug from someone you find attractive! Best yet!
Some new young kids will have to go to school, to understand a strip like this.Out of the mouths of cats!MD should be required reading for every HS kid in the USA, not just in Boston.It’s part of our heritage!Love it!

Probably sheer coincidence, but “Call me Fishmeal” was the opening line of a Mad Magazine satire of the movie “Moby Dick” many many years ago.

I remember “Call me Fishmeal” as the opening line from Mad Magazine’s parody of Moby Dick back in the late 60s/early 70s.
