The Academia Waltz by Berkeley Breathed for December 14, 2003

Burger King

Wha'd you say?

I said I want a Whopper, hold the bun.

That's ridiculous.

What's ridiculous is that you advertise that we get to have it our way, but you won't give me a Whopper my way which is without a bun.

Fellow peons! Shall we continue to be manipulated by the deceitful advertising of America?

It’s just a burger.

And Watergate was just a hotel…

Hold high the banner of consumer rights and demand your bunless burgers.

Whopper; sans bun. Now what do you have to say?

Milkshake; hold the cup.

And thus, WAY ahead of his time, Ol’ BB foresaw the whole Atkins diet, and the very common order of “burger, hold the bun” these days.

While funny, gotta wonder why ol BB is recycling his stuff. This is Opus in the burger joint with “Herring Whopper, hold the head.”
