Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 24, 2024

Kids these days are so entitled. Next, she’ll be expecting to eat watermelons without seeds.

Just don’t eat the seeds. Spit them out. It’s a lot more fun.

So that would be most bugs.

Not likely.

We had a substitute janitor. Some kid threw up in the rest room. Another kid reported it to the substitute janitor. The substitute janitor went to the restroom and locked the door, leaving it for the regular janitor the next morning.

I keep wondering how SHE knows what bugs taste like. I’ve tried “toasted bees”. They tasted like soy sauce. And I’ve tried chocolate covered ants. They tasted like milk chocolate with odd sour crunchy things. Not bad but not a favorite. I’ve eaten worm meal that was baked into muffins. The muffins were fine.

And exoskeletons are why the bugs are crunchy after all…

If humans had exoskeletons we wouldn’t need seatbelts.

Kid, the dude regularly uses Vom-Sorb®; give it up.

Kid is colorful. She could become a fiction writer. Or a political hack.

And it’s getting harder to find someone who will peel them for you.

Bugs have exoskeletons. Grapes with seeds would be like bugs with endoskeletons.

Used sweeping compound. Nuff said.

Those exoskeletons get you every time.

Just don’t chew the seeds. You can master the trick of chewing the grape while maintaining a small gap between your teeth, so the grape flesh chews but the seeds don’t.

I loved seeded grapes in my youth. I’m spoiled now, only buy the seedless ones…

Exoskeletons are rich in fiber!

I explained the act of decompacting for seniors to a self-absorbed 30 year old and grossed him out for the first time in his life.

There are recipes for cicadas all over the internet. Try one of those.

Elmer Fudd never found out.
