The Berger and Wyse food cartoons are a diet of neurotic vegetables, omnivorous Godzillas and restaurant parody. This single-panel comic appears weekly in the Guardian (UK), and has been published as an anthology by Absolute Press (an imprint of Bloomsbury). There are some recurring themes and characters, but stylistically this cartoon is free to roam to wherever food plays a part. What do tomatoes think of Andy Warhol? Is it upsetting to fruit that "bananas" means crazy? Can you eat Schrödingers cat food? Someone has to answer these burning questions.

Definitely where we’re headed. Less is more. It’s too bad, because NY is the only place they want that stuff.

At your grocery store now. Right next to the dehydrated water.

This is the concept behind 100-calorie snack packaging.

‘Grasse oie’? Really?! Too cheap to spell-check with an actual French speaking person?!

Will the “plaster” still work as well for the flu if it’s less fat?

Half the fat, 75% of the price.

More like 150% the price. I remember my mother asking, since they charged more for low sodium items, how much they would charge for an empty box of salt.

Good spot, that typo slipped through the net – but the “D’oie” is correct, no? And French people are notoriously expensive.
