excuse me?

The Jewish janitor is watching this and saying Oy Vey Smear!

Slip-sliding away, said Paul Simon. I doubt, however, that this was an episode from his youthful experience with bagels….

Montreal bagels rule.

Cream cheese! That’s all you need.

It’s harder than heck to get REAL bagels any more. ( and you NEVER find them prepackaged like the ones in today’s strip . ) Most that you get today are what I call BISOs, Bagels In Shape Only.

WEEEEEEE!

There is a use for grocery store bagels! I never would have guessed! Give me fresh from a good bagel bakery in NJ or NY any day, preferably double onion or garlic withn whitefish salad and thinly sliced onion. For hubby, a cinnamon raisin one with a good schmear of freshly made cream cheese.

Cream cheese is the appropriate topping, but it’s not as slick and slidey as butter.

The sole purpose of the bagel is to support as much smoked salmon as physically possible.

Don’t forget the lox. Yumm!

That’s a terrible waste of a good bagel. Add smoked salmon and cream cheese instead!

Salmon. Smoked salmon.

I love Beagles, but I would never, ever cut one in half and smear it with butter!

I got your attention, didn’t I? Yes, the new ones are longer, more powerful and maneuverable, and they are built by a German firm! Go Goodyear and go figure…
