As I commented on the original, “Uh, Burt? I think a simpler, more effective message to Elvis would be, ‘Run!’ I know my first inclination when someone tells me to turn around is “No.” (And we know from the Cucumber Report that Elvis shares that trait).” (http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/the-man-brought-home-donuts/)
I love Elvis’ expression in the third panel! And the last panel is priceless, Elvis is soon to be jammed by the Boy, and we can imagine his reaction if he is given a bath.
Although every tooth in my mouth, and I still have them all, is a sweet tooth, not crazy about doughnuts. Although when I discovered Tim Horton’s in the Edmonton airport, I did find the chocolate cake ones quite delicious. Good thing Tim has not invaded Virginia!
My cat loves the cake kind of donut. I can’t eat one without his being right up in my face demanding bites. I think it must be eggs and butter. He loves frosting, too.
I never met a donut I didn’t like. They are my favorite sweet- even plain ones, which are wonderful for dunking. On another subject, thank you to all who replied to my post yesterday. Hubby went back for a recheck this morning. The doctor he saw today said they should have put his arm in a sling to elevate it, so he has a sling now and looks like a genuine invalid. One puzzling thing- the doctor yesterday told him to put ice on it, but today’s doctor told him to soak it in warm Epsom salts. Seems like opposites to me, but hubby says warm feels better than cold so we’re going with that. He has to go back tomorrow. Wonder what instructions a third doctor will change.
Off Topic: The boys are going to Tampa! I just saw a tweet from the Baldo creators about new comics in the Tampa Bay Times and they listed BCN as one of the newcomers. Congratulations on another expansion!
We moved a couple of years ago to be closer to family. Little did we know that we had moved to a donut desert. There are two donut shops in our town and both manage to produce something worse than supermarket bakeries. It’s a 15 minute drive, on the freeway, to the nearest true donut source.
My mom worked at an office where they put out Krispy Kremes one Friday and she had about half of one and was sick all weekend. Said it was way too greasy. Same thing happened about a year later when they put out a K.K. table at my friend’s university commons. Came back to haunt her.
They are the $tarbucks of doughnuts as many here have said. (I actually like the way some $tarbucks tastes, just not what they do to my stomach.)
Dunkin’ is proliferating around here, but Krispy Kreme is in most if not all supermarkets. Don’t care for KK at all, and stop by Duncan maybe once or twice a year, more for hot chocolate than “do-nots”. We do have some independent bakeries that do great doughnuts. None taste as good to me as the Sunbeam brand glazed from childhood, from the coal company store. These days when I indulge, it’s usually “little chocolate donuts” aka John Belushi’s SNL sketch. Not fancy but convenient…

Am I weird? I don’t like donuts. Well, I might eat a sugared one, but that’s the extent of it. And, Krispy Kreams, yuk, they’re too sweet for me.

Two Charts! One showing the essential nature of donuts, the other their origin.I’d love a full size version of the second one.
(And I love Elvis’ expression in panel three.)

Boys, Doughnuts are not scary but filled with wonder. Unless they’re spelled with a ‘K’ and then the main wonder is why they kost so much.

catmom1360, I’m not a huge fan, either. If I’m going to eat something sweet, I’d rather have ice cream, brownies, birthday cake with tons of frosting!
