Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 12, 2021

Does Kim know a former coworker of mine? Every morning, he used to have a roll and Diet Dr. Pepper for breakfast.

You really are from another tribe : Mike was on the Walden Football team when you were a little baby rescued in Vietnam. That’s about 17 years of age difference.

Potato chips for lunch? Pizza for a snack?

So, is he asking her out to dinner and is she suggesting that it could turn into a breakfast date too or, is he asking if that is what she eats for dinner and she is telling him that it is her breakfast?

Her speech was all taken from ads. Pretty sure her first words were ‘Big Mac’!

Then it was all Watergate hearings talking points.

Silly girl, everyone knows that beer is your breakfast drink, preferably with cold pizza, but nachos will do in a pinch.

I haven’t had Velveeta cheese in YEARS. Is it still made???? Never mind, I’ll google it. . .if I remember correctly, it was called a “cheese food,” wasn’t it?. . .whatever that means. . .

Yes. He is indeed from a different tribe. Also a different place and time. As are we all.

Marketing makes promises that developers can’t deliver on.

At University, my fav breakfast was was a peanut butter sandwich and a can of Coke.

When I was in college my breakfasts were generally 2 or 3 eggs and juice, sometimes bacon or sausage. My friends subsisted on cold pizza and junk food, or skipped it entirely. So now I’m old and fat, and they’re old and skinny.

Ah, to be young and subsist on junk food!

From the bar* exam in Wisconsin:

cheese : velveeta :: steak : ___________

–––––––

*No, you dope, not the lawyer bar!

Dr. Pepper? YECH! That’s like carbonated prune juice

Great strips from when Trudeau was a true cartoonist instead of a political hack.

I was very old school in college…kellogg’s pop tarts! They were a great meal substitute for breakfast, lunch or dinner. But I had a rule about not eating them more than once a day. I may not have been eating too healthy back then, but I had to set some limits.

Kim’s nachos sound very close to chilaquiles, Mexican hangover cure breakfast!

diet coke and M&Ms

C’mon, Kimmie! Mike’s a First Class Loon!

He will listen to anything as long as he can look at her cleavage. :-)

Yeah, he’s a boomer!

Using the words Velveeta and Cheese in the same sentence is Heresy.

Decades ago as I left the E T ride at Universal Orlando the store that sells E T merchandise wasn’t selling Reeses Pieces but they had Skittles. WTF?

We cooked bacon we liberated from a fraternity kitchen in a popcorn popper! Alcohol.may have been involved.

My grandfather, a veteran of WWI, used to have a cigarette and raw egg, poured into a glass, for breakfast.
