Close to Home by John McPherson for January 12, 2022

… and that was 20 minutes ago!

Of what year? 2020!

My two cents…a ‘ZAZI BAR’ will do it to you regardless of the date.

“I’m melting…”!

We need a standard expiration date that isn’t best by, use by or purchase by, but an actual expiration date…end of rant

What the HE!! is wrong with the woman on the right’s mouth??? I’ll bet the colorist blew this one, big time!

I don’t mean to giggle but it was a Snickers.

Bleeb, be careful not to get any of that stuff on you.

Chocolate expires? Never gets a chance in my house. Also it normally says “Best before” not “Do not eat after”.

Oy!

just for grins I looked at the crimp of my nearly empty tube of IcyHot last night…Dec. 90

Funny

So the Zazi company found the lost Ark and raided it for candy? …Awesome!

If it turns green, its not a good sign.

UH-HUH, UH-HUH, see there? Y’all thought I was just weird! That is EXACTLY why, whenever I’m in a gas station, I pass up the weird-melty face-energy bar section…

…and go straight for a breakfast burrito and a Red Bull. NO-MELTY-FACE!

And now he has super powers

Of what century?…..

The type of chocolate that melts your hand AND your mouth

And you’re expiring today…

Actually the “expiration dates” don’t really mean that. Some say ‘best by 01/12/22’. Better save those expired cans for when the zombie apocalypse begins…

There are many days when, in order to decide what to have for dinner, I check the expiration dates on the cans in the pantry and select the oldest one.

That’s what you get for doing acid.

Switch to Hostess Snack Cakes – I hear they never expire.

Looks like the sequel to “The Incredible Melting Man”.

I thought it looked like her mouth was plugged with a piece of the candy bar

Oh, Bleeb, get out of there before something drips on you.

It was nice of David Cronenberg to help write an Close to Home strip

Most expiration dates are because the manufacture is trying to force people to buy replacement stuff.
