    So it’s a meta sandwich and not a meat sandwich?

    Whatever…. as long as you don’t call it a “sammich” I’m cool with it.

    Catsup was once the predominant spelling of the tomato-based condiment, but ketchup is preferred in today’s English by a large margin. The latter more closely approximates the word’s pronunciation, and it’s also closer in sound to the likely source—either the Cantonese k’e chap or the Malay kechap, both originally types of fish sauce. Catchup is listed in dictionaries, but few writers use it.

    Bologna refers to a type of sausage made of finely ground meat that has been cooked and smoked. Baloney is nonsense. It is an early 20th-century American coinage derived from bologna. It may also be influenced by blarney, which in one of its definitions means nonsense or deceptive talk. Our reference sources differ on whether baloney and bologna are homophones in English. Some say both should be pronounced “baloney,” while others say bologna should be pronounced like the Italian city, Bologna (“boloan-ya”), where the sausage originates. But everyone agrees that the two spellings have different meanings.

    As far as I can tell, this would work with any text, not just comics. I always pronounced them differently, too, but that may just be me.

    Bologna tastes like hot dogs and use only mustard on it. Not catsup, ew.

    As a kid, I was an inveterate reader, but not out loud, which meant that my written vocabulary was much larger than my spoken one (not the norm, linguists will assure you). This led to a bit of embarrassment in the 5th grade when I was taking a turn reading aloud to the class and had my very first opportunity to pronounce the word “pigeon” out loud. After the chuckles died down, it turned out that it was a kind of bird, not a variant form of swine. Who knew? (Not me.)

    Bologna is a flat hotdog and should never be served with catsup (although mayo is allowed).

    If you like comic strips and sausages, you should never watch either one being made.

    Even as a ketchup loving kid, I thought it was gross on bologna. Mustard or nothing.

    Is Frazz practicing ventriloquism, or did something in the bag do the talking?

    And only in a comic would a school janitor be eating in the school cafeteria with a student.

    I’m guessing the one is the name and the other is the name brand.
