This week’s installment may be the silliest one I’ve made, but then I’m only up to week 8.
Also, there’s some shameless product placement. We at jumbodeluxe.com don’t do those little animated gifs asking you to read other comic strips or buy our witty printed Tshirts. Nope, our ads are right there in the cartoon pictures, promoting our fine range of JumboTM brand products… available in supermarkets everywhere.
Seriously, I don’t want to put stuff from ad servers on here because it’s very likely that I haven’t read those comics, and I’m too lazy to set up an e-commerce thingamabobber to sell T-Shirts. I do have a few Jumbodeluxe ‘classic’ T shirts left if anyone’s interested.
Next time: Back to the robot story …sort of.
Ah, the effortless shifting between real reality and yogurt reality….with ooky critters to boot. Love it!
This is fun. I like to make yogurt, sauerkraut, and other fermented foods, all of which contain the same critters. When my then six-year-old niece wanted to know what I was doing chopping and salting cabbage, we had a conversation which ended up very much like Emily’s adventures in the yogurt. That was a lot of fun. Now every time I eat sauerkraut or yogurt, I think about her “cabbage bugs.” And here I see pictures, just like she and I imagined.
And by the way, say thanks to Neal (comment above). It was from his Introvert Manifesto that I found your strip, and I’m liking it.
Thanks, Sean! Generations of cartoonists have gotten good mileage from jokes about food and little kids. The food gags will return in a few weeks after I get this ‘Robot Challenge’ storyline moving along. I’m looking forward to having kids of my own so I can tell them stories like this. Have you asked your daughter to draw pictures of the ‘cabbage bugs’ and the ‘yogurt bugs’?
Yes, Neal’s comic is excellent, he’s been consistently making comics on the interwebs for what seems like ten years. Thanks to his example, I’m back making somewhat regular webcomics after several years of “doing other stuff”.
