One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for July 30, 2021

Archie Bunker (opening a can): “I’m going to eat something American—spaghetti!”

Did you thread the spaghetti through the donuts?

Because what’s a meal without dessert afterward, right, James?

Read once that Franco-american was Italian in the UK.

Being (like Earl) married to an Italian-American, I have to concur with Opal. I mean, my hillbilly mother may have served us Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee sauce, but even she wouldn’t stoop to canned “pasta”.

I agree with Grandma.

Bad enough that we have to used boxed pasta. At least we can cook the sauce all day with our fresh garden tomatoes and basil. When we lived in the SF Bay Area we would visit a local laurel tree for bay leaves. Now we have to make do with friend’s shipments.

A while back in the current strips, Grandma had to let her Italian out:

With a big side order of preservatives.

Often my dinner would be cannachile, well in college anyway.

Still my favourite!!
