Pluggers by Rick McKee for November 03, 2021

I’d plant that. If there was such a thing.

Razor ribbon and armed guards to keep the dogs out of your garden. “I smell BACON!”

Well we do have “Egg” plant seeds ;-)

There may be a food more overrated than bacon, but I’m yet to find it. I mean, it’s nice enough and all, but some people seem to think its like ambrosia only better tasting.

These days they is growing meat in laboratories. Soon there may really be bacon seeds too. Who knows.

They’re called “piglets” or “shoats.”

I don’t think that concept is limited to Pluggers : )

A long time ago the Brits thought that too. They brought pigs to an island in Puget Sound, then in a dispute with the USA as to the border. A pig wandered into the farm of an American one too many times and soon the American was having bacon with breakfast. Tensions escalated, troops were sent to occupy the territory by the USA and the Brits. The border was finally settled. and peace reigned. But the Americans left behind their sheep and rabbits to destroy the ecology of the San Juan Islands.

That would make vegetarians happy!

I would be very happy to find a money tree sapling or shrub offered, if nothing else just to prove my dad wrong.

Why bother with the muss of dirt when you can buy bacon flavoring to add to anything you like. Sprinkle it on some burnt toast and you hardly can tell the difference

I would think the pigs would be even happier than the vegetarians about this…

THEN we’d be on to something!

Nom, nom, nom, nom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BACON!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

And some sirloin steak seeds while he’s at it.

Rick McKee’s name still appears in the printed byline; but it disappeared from the opening panel of the strip as of 1 November.

Aren’t bacon bits already technically bacon seeds?

Yup. Bacon plants. That’s just one of the things we lost when we got ourselves kicked out of the garden of Eden. (sigh)

Well, okay, I suppose the world would be a slightly better place if bacon was something you could just pluck off a tree, instead of having to slaughter a suffering, sentient creature. Is that the point you’re trying to make?
