Bring Me My Food and Plenty of It!

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Nick Cardy over the weekend.  He always had a place near and dear to my heart because, of the many things he drew, he also drew this cover:

This cover was the first comic with Batman that I had ever read.  I had been introduced to Batman via a Hostess trading card that came in a package of Wonder Bread, and when my father agreed that I could subscribe to a comic, I chose Batman.

Imagine my delight when I slid the comic out of that flat brown paper wrapper and saw all that awaited me. 100 PAGES worth! It was right up there with Christmas morning.  You may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but I always get all fanboy about a great comic cover, and Cardy produced some of the best.

And now let's take a look at Pep Comics #29:

I'm prepared to guess that someone unknowingly ate a lot of waiter saliva that evening.

And here was something that caught my eye from the Sergeant Boyle story:

Keep in mind, this was found in a Japanese military kitchen.  I've worked in a few professional kitchens in my day, and I certainly don't claim to be an expert on Japanese cuisine.

But what the heck are you cooking that calls for knockout drops?

Whatever those are.

In any sense, someone probably needs to double-check their recipe.

See you tomorrow!

and

Now, I barely got into the first few pages of Amazing 228 before I came upon this: 

Applesauce and peas struck me as a pretty weird dinner combo.  It appears that his main dish is applesauce, and there's some peas on the side.  So, the guy could be on a soft and/or bland food diet.  I worked in a hospital kitchen in high school, so I'm pretty hip and sympathetic to that sort of thing.

But I'm also a curious sort, so I used the Google to run a search on "applesauce and peas."

And I'll be danged if I didn't come across this.

That doesn't sound even slightly appetizing, but maybe that's a thing for some people.  I was trying to think of some weird food combination I liked, but I'm one of those people who is very methodical about eating: I finish eating one food item before I eat the next, and I don't like my food to touch.  If I could talk Beloved into letting me eat out of those compartmentalized trays like they have in schools and prisons, I'd totally do it.

So, not that my dear readers are a particularly chatty bunch, but I was wondering if you had any weird food combos that you'd like to confess share?  If so, put 'em in the comments!  It might be fun!

See you tomorrow!
