Why doesn’t Jason just flip the sandwich over?

I think Jason and Calvin would get along.

and to think Susie Derkins was appalled by Calvin’s bizarre school lunches, not Eileen Jacobson over Jason Fox’s

My brother had to have ketchup on his baloney sandwich and it had to be between the bologna and the bread. NOT TOUCHING the lettuce. I thought it was pretty weird, because who would want ketchup when bologna actually needs mustard… but my mom was willing to do such things for all 5 of us who took lunches to school. Though she balked at letting us choose what filling for the sandwich, and at cutting off crusts. You could even have your choice of white puff bread or brown puff bread.

Tell you what, Jason, get up earlier and make it yourself…

How much you want to bet, the day after he complains about it, she makes him a butter and peanut jelly sandwich?

Jason, that particular position is unbecoming … especially at the lunch room table.

Wow, he’s lucky. A lot of schools have banned peanut butter, or have a special “peanut butter table” so that kids with peanut allergies won’t be affected.

I am having trouble figuring out what the difference is.

…jr. republican…only see things one way…

Apparently, having higher smarts doesn’t prevent Jason from having OCD.

Anyone notice how Eileen Jacobson moved seats?

Jason is the type who would complain if the concave side of his spoon is reversed.

There are two kinds of people in the world. The first are people who must build their sandwich with the asymmetry of the bread slices matched. The second kind of people have no idea what I’m talking about.

I’m always amazed just how brilliant and stupid Jason is at the same time.

Here’s the old Sunday strip not seen due to the new ones in it’s place:

Well, his friend’s view of the situation is certainly less than appetizing.

And worse..SHE USED THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BREAD TOO! (Sticks head in sandwich to compensate)…..

Please don’t get me started on my mom’s school lunches …

Jason obviously feels like a sandwich is a permutation, when it clearly is a combination…

That’s like drinking out of the opposite side of the glass. Not easy to do!

then he wouldn’t be trying to be funny!

I can’t believe that someone hasn’t made a STRANGER THINGS joke about the Upsidedown.

Oh, come on, Jason, why aren’t you taking this opportunity to demonstrate the commutative property of addition? (peanut butter) + (jelly) = (jelly) + (peanut butter)

TBL? Total BaLoney? d;o)

That’s like that one trick question, “What is the second ingredient of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?”

Despite his mental acuity he is still a child.

He’s too smart for that.

LLO!

His mother forgot the left handed coffee cup, too.

Because it’s funny, asshole

Because geniuses are not that clever.

Jeez, Jason

LOLOLOL

This reminds me of one of Nickelodeon’s episodes of All That (the original 1990s version), with Amanda Bynes doing her Ask Ashley segment. Amanda, playing Ashley, reads a letter from Tracy Sullivan of Yakoma, WA. Tracy says her Mom makes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the peanut butter on top and the jelly on the bottom, but Tracy prefers the jelly on top, and asks what to do. Ashley’s response: “TURN THE STINKIN’ SANDWICH OVER!!”.
