Seriously….who eats a bag of onions?

Musical accompaniment for today’s strip—“I Love Onions” (1966) by Susan Christie.

Negi, Negi! :D

Onions…" the everything repellent" (got that from today’s “Drabble”-https://www.gocomics.com/drabble/2020/07/25?ct=v&cti=2208697)

1 bag of dried onions + 2 small children = …?

1 instant private movie show screening

Now you know why the Family Circus kids only have one nostril, at best.

Dis was unexpected….da whole theater emptied because of onions?

A bunch of years ago went to dealer seminar. They brought in “make your own” sub sandwiches. The table was about 50 feet away from where everyone was sitting. Once the onions were uncovered it was a WOWZA what kind of onions are those? Those could have emptied the theater!

Ernie missed an excellent opportunity for a fart joke here. And as we all know, farts are hilarious when properly dispensed, e.g. funeral, church service, during wedding vows, movie love scenes…

A cup of soda, a bag of onions, a double feature,

And thou, beside me on the aisle.

H e a r t b u r n

Pickled onions.

Folks jumping out a balcony window, lol. Haven’t sat in a movie balcony for a while, but I never noticed any windows.

They coulda just had a skunk spray them. But the theater probably wouldn’t have let them in…

Well at least they will have their choice of seats.

That movie was really a stinker.

Stinky yes, but weak compared to the ramp. https://rampitupcooking.com/a-ramp-lover-walks-her-path-alone-how-to-cure-ramp-breath/

Panel #3 in this strip is a rarity, and amongst a set of Bushmiller panels where he has meticulously rendered a panicked-crowd in a public space, in motion, except for a couple or more soon-to-be crushed members of the public.

The seven flying hats in panel #3 crack me up. I sense that Ernie thoroughly enjoyed putting panel-three together.

For me, the most enjoyable layer of the entire strip is when it flips into being a PSA about the power of bad-breath being capable of emptying public places like movie theatres; as if our breathable air and atmosphere was the way it was before the industrial revolution.

Good “brain food”
