Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for June 03, 2023

You can’t see your cake and eat it too…..

LIAR!

If only…

Hot-damm. I’m gonna try that!!!

The calories leak out of broken cookies.

But can you find the cake in the dark. Or is that part of the diet scheme?

Then it’s a light dessert.

I haven’t had cake, pie, cookies, or ice cream since Christmas, and I’m still only down 15 pounds.

The calories only countif your spouse sees you eating them.

You keep telling yourself that lie.

Cartoonist’s day off.

They don’t have to find you – you already found them.

In the dark you don’t see the calories. As long as you stay in the dark you won’t have to see what effect they’ve had on you.

Well, Cosmo, ole boy, that makes about as much sense as empty calories.

“Uncle Cosmo” is the only indicator that this is Shoe. I double-checked the URL to see which comic I was visiting.

I wish!

Now we know why Skylar is having trouble getting out of the fifth grade ! ! ! !

Just make sure that the cake is in a place that you can find.

I thought the calories leaked out when the cake was sliced.

That’s genius!!! Like Carrot Cake being a vegetable…

If only that were true…..

This is the same philosophy that holds broken cookies do not count as calories. :)

I think some cartoonist out there just wanted to take a break.

The Can’t-See-Food Diet.

That’s not true, but when you cut the cake all the calories flyout.

Thought that only worked 3with licorice.

That is absolutely hysterically funny, and extremely clever, thank you Susie, made my day…

I’ve tried that, Cosmo, and since they invariably find me, I’m pretty sure they can see in the dark :-(

Wishful thinking.

I think cartoonist do this trope of “lights out and floating eyeballs” when they want a break from drawing or ran out of time.
