Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 14, 2019

Sucro bombs… and they’re brown…

Some of the Lucky Charms are green and LOOK like fruit…

As an adult living alone; been there, done that.

Apparently the definition of extra-nice breakfast changes when you get older.

Frazz takes the fun out summer.

reading the box was the best…

Greens? For breakfast?

Except none of these cerials have the word “sugar” in the name anymore. Sugar = bad. But they’re still loaded with it.

But, what’ll the kid think of for breakfast tomorrow? No kid repeats any kind of schedule on anything, so long as there is no parent to ‘drive.’

Greens and fresh fruit? Is he demented? This man needs to move to Portland.

I’ve had last night’s old, cold, straight out of the refrigerator filet mignon for breakfast before, but I agree…greens? What greens are good for breakfast? I’ve even had steamed carrots for breakfast, in a rehab unit, accidentally served, and thought them delicious.

But what greens are tasty for breakfast? I’d like to know; I need dark green leafy vegetables to build red blood cells to combat slight Rx anemia…

And which ones would taste good with my oatmeal and raisins and maple syrup? ;-)

My first reading of this strip was wrong, but I thought the issue was something I’ve found myself doing: Add too much milk so then add some more cereal, then more milk, etc., etc. In any case, no sucro bombs for me.

I think I’ll stay with my standard: warm flat beer and cold pizza. I call it “breakfast of runners-up.”

Milk: It does a body good! I doubt that I’ve gone more than a dozen days in my 75 years without it. (Of course, I’ve lived all 75 of those years in Wisconsin, America’s Dairyland, where lactose isn’t merely tolerated, it’s mandatory.)

It’s so easy to be sure. It’s so easy to be wrong. And it’s so easy for those two things to happen at the same time.

Whose idea was it to put the most important meal of the day when you first get up? That is not the best time to meticulously get it right. Sure, there are all sorts of ways you can, especially in this day and age of home refrigeration.

But they make it so easy to buy processed cereal and milk. And it’s so easy to reach for that when you’re stumbling through your morning. Years ago, I made myself a deal. Actually, more of a threat. I said I could either keep breakfast cereal around the house or coffee. That was easy. And I don’t miss the cereal a bit.

Most of the time.

And it’s easier on the days when I insist granola is not actually cereal. Hey, I’m good. I’m nowhere near that good.
