Yep, Chase R. Ambule needs to eat too. Not being picky enough on who he takes as clients, he’s bound to be at that lovely bleeding edge.. I’m sure the TV ads cost buku.
Sad. Lowell and Hubris have something in common. They live on breakfast cereal as one of their food groups… never thought they’d have anything in common. Sigh…..
Greg, did Chase age here? Can he no longer afford his Grecian Formula 16 habit? (Did you know that in the U.S. that stuff uses lead acetate? Does this explain Chase’s behaviors?)
Am I the only one that went out and got the average cost of PopTarts and Froot Loops? I think Chase got about 50 bucks worth of breakfast there…
Is it sadder that he’s willing to settle for that or sadder that my form of amusement was to look that up? 😀
I think it’s sad that I’m so utterly pleased that I wrote a cartoon that could inspire anyone to look up the prices of frosted PopTarts and FrootLoops.
By the way… you know they didn’t use the word ‘Froot’ with two ‘O’s to mimic the 2 ‘O’s in ‘Loops’. They did it because they can’t legally use the word ‘Fruit’ to describe that cereal. That may be an urban legend, but I like it.
That’s true, at least according to the Intro to Food Sciences course I had the (mis)fortune to transcribe while I was at the local public television station. I learned about all sorts of interesting rules about what’s allowed in your food before it has to be “reprocessed”, which usually means filtering out the offending substance. Like 20 fly eggs or 1 maggot per 1/2 cup of pizza sauce (though it’s recommended you have 0 eggs and 0 maggots if you intend to have repeat buyers). The labeling rules for fruit jellies, jams, preserves, butters, and fruit snacks are strict. Another one of my favorites is you can’t use the word “meat” in meatballs if they contain less than 50% “meat”. The weight rules really irk me: they allow for a 5% deviation from the product label to allow for minor variation in high speed packaging lines. But almost every packaged food you buy in the grocery is deliberately short-weighted about an ounce for every pound as a result.

I really can’t decide who’s the better negotiator here, Ambule or Bob!

chase might as well accept the offer from bob for that is all the payment he will get unless he wants to try and sue lowel himself.
