Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 24, 2020

Once again, a little over 10 years ago, a blog entry preceded this strip:

As soon there’s a spatial mission to Mars, astronauts on the shuttle thereto will probably eat marzipan.

They do eat it on Mars, and they grow it using their own feces as fertilizer! Or, was that potatoes?

Alice needs to learn to read so she’ll find out how the book ends.

No matter which planet he was on, Petey wouldn’t eat marzipan.

Go ask mom.

Where can you buy the book `cos now I wanna know the answer too.

The primitive Martian bacteria tells me that’s all they eat.

Does she even know hwat marzipan is?

If she knew it’s made from almonds, I wonder if she’d eat it. Petey wouldn’t, for sure.

I love the awkward half-finished drawings! For this strip they are perfect. The animals are wonderful.

This book is a cheap rip off of “Green Eggs & Ham”!

Tough it out, Mr. O. This is part of your job as Dad. And I can’t believe that a book of this kind is all that long, it’s just the silliness that makes it seem that way.

I prefer the sequel “Do they Eat Jujubees on Jupiter” Much better plotting and character development…

The tardigrade found that marzipan was indistinguishable from oxidized sand, so it said “Yes”.

She can ask Loris Petey’s schoolmate, maybe she knows.

Actually, the rest of the book is just 20 pages of trying to wake the wombat.

Of course they don’t eat marsipan on mars, they cook in it; do you eat your Earthy-pans?

As it turns out, the gnu knows.

I thought Mars was made of marzipan. Isn’t it?

They’ve run this comic before. I even posted the question on YouThink.com’s question forum and put this comic as the picture for it. And someone commented that of course they eat marzipan on Mars. After all, it’s Mars!

It probably ends with some animal telling her to ask Dierdre the Cat.

Alice – go ask your Mom!. Mom will get you through the book and then you will know if marzipan is eaten on Mars. She might even tell you what marzipan is if you don’t know.

There are no people on Mars to eat anything.

If there are any Martians, I dare say they go, “Marzipan?! Ptooie! Those Terrans are trying to exterminate us!”
