Ben by Daniel Shelton for June 03, 2020

Liv is getting her revenge for yesterday’s strip.

A see food diet ?

Those aren’t chocolate chips, they’re actually little prune chips. Eat up!

Gonna fail. Every time. Don’t play games with me. I will deliberately give you the outcome you least want.

Two can play at this game.

I thank the FSM that I never got married.

That is one test I always fail. My resistance to fresh baked cookies is extremely low.

If they were crispy chocolate chip not only would my hubby take one, he’d come back for more… a few times.

As my mother would say, "God is testing me … and I’m flunking. "

If they are on the counter with no note saying they are for someone else, they are fair game

That’s a test I’ll never pass. Unless the goal is to scarf them up.

I get that this is just a comic, but IRL this kind of manipulation is disgusting.

She’s devious, she doesn’t want to be the only busting their diet.

That’s a mighty thin blue wall.

My MIL always complains my FIL is too fat (he isn’t, really) but at the same time, she bakes lots of cakes, pies, cookies, etc. She’s the sort who can nibble a little of anything and be satisfied; he enjoys food. And of course, she probably would accuse him of letting good food go to waste if he didn’t eat it. Sometimes you can’t win. And Liv is being mean here to “test” him like that!

Oh the heck with it Ben, just eat the cookies….not a fan of someone who plays games like this.

Does she want to get ants or mice that she leaves them out that like? No food left out unless sealed in plastic unless it comes in and is in a jar or sealed can.
