Herb and Jamaal by Stephen Bentley for November 17, 2024

Got to add butter to my grocery list!

That’s why they have these special devices called plates.

I never have that problem. My dog is there to keep it from ever hitting the floor.

physics. the extra weight of the buttered-side bread tends to be favored by gravity

Had to save this gag for a Sunday to waste more panels?

Sod’s Law

If buttered toast always lands butter side down, and a cat always lands on its feet, what happens if you tie a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat?

In the early 1970’s a Texas newspaper ran a humorous column Called Jelly Side Down. I can’t remember the name of the woman who wrote it.

Try buttering your bread over the plate, or at least over the counter. That way, if it falls, no harm no foul. It’s like the people who drop things in the toilet. Just keep the lid down – problem solved! And anyone too groggy or lazy to lift the lid in the middle of the night…well, that’s on you!

Maybe Herb should give up making toast!
