What’s the worst that could happen, do you think?
I’ve actually widened a hat much like this one by heavily wetting it, fitting it on a larger, head-shaped object, then letting it dry. Even permanently turned up one of the side-brims to create a “slouch hat” / “digger hat” look.
Worked great and no complaints, but I’m also curious what might have gone wrong…
I like how you didn’t go nuts with a thick crust, which is an ultra-common pizza-making mistake. That said, pro-tip: whether you use a pizza-steel or pizza ceramic, it’s best to heat up either, as well the oven, to the highest possible amount, before actually placing the pizza on there and baking it as fast as possible.
Now, why? Well, it’s because you want to move as much heat as quickly as possible to the dish, without actually burning the pizza across the shortest amount of time possible. What this accomplishes is to preserve the freshness of the ingredients, whilst also accomplishing the yeast-rising and bread-making… in fact getting the bread (crust) as perfectly, very-lightly scorched as possible.
You can see multiple examples of this across various pizza-making blogs…
I hear ya! But we don’t seem to have many fans of old-timey comics on this sub. :S
Bonus pts for the magic trick of ‘jalapeño slice traveling across jars,’ a good little classic.
I’m not sure what to call that or if it already has a name lol
In Peru there’s something kinda similar called leche de tigre, the spicy, key lime, red onion marinade used to prepare ceviche. One can drink it like a shot.
Homeless guac, homeless guac…!? There will always be a place for…
Oh, okay, that looks lovely. 😅
Great stuff, with a sort of dark, ‘Saturday Evening Post’ style. Also a nice throwback style to strips that went back to the 60’s and even 50’s.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work.
For example, I’ve had fairly good success upon a range of animal companions going back to early childhood, but a few years ago, I made the mistake of taking on a ‘problem cat’ from a family friend.
Such a beautiful creature, but she just couldn’t… settle down, I guess are the words. Now me, living with a terminal disease is already hard, but unfortunately, that rascal just turned it up to ‘11,’ bless her lil heart. So in the end, I had to donate her to a local no-kill shelter. Not my finest moment, but the lack of sleep was pretty-much the lynchpin, for me.
I love cats, but I just… haha, kinda got spooked hard by that experience.
Now imagine your life without the luxury of a pampered, beloved floof by your side?
Jokes aside, this is both great tribute and super-disrespectful.
Was that the intended aim?
Niiice, but I need to take care of my niece, tomorrow!
There’s also the running concept (or dada-ist joke) that Wondermark’s dodos are completely obsessed with the concept of time, with the implication being that they squandered their time in life, perhaps ultimately aiding in their extinction.

Both drawn with almost the exact same figure (and face), of course.
I’m not really complaining, but I find this pretty common across comics, which is somehow kind of a let-down.
