Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for September 20, 2022

A nonbinary utensil.

Ah yes, the spork, it attempts to serve as both a spoon and a fork and fails on both counts.

What a dish!

That curvy handle is mighty sexy, too!

What…No knife around to cut the wedding cake?

Upon hearing that, the cat looks like the diddle went out of his fiddle.

Runcible Spoon – a fork curved like a spoon, with three broad prongs, one of which has a sharpened outer edge for cutting.

Ooooh fiddle-lee-Dee

Where’s the cow and the moon?

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon, the little dog laughed to see such a sight and the dish ran away with the……..spork?

Very funny! hahaha

Inaccurate cartoon lacking the jumping cow and laughing dog. We are being diddled.

Did those things become “sporks” when they started making them out of plastic? I first heard it when my kids were in school. When I was a kid, I was told that (properly rendered in good metal – both usable and reusable) was a runcible spoon.

“I don’t really care about the food I eat,

Just as long as I can eat it with a spork."

Like eating soup with chopsticks. Once you break up the chopsticks and put them in the soup they get in the way of the spork. (I did say soup WITH chopsticks)

Maybe the cat can play the fiddle at their wedding.
