Ooo……..stickey.

Kinky.

Might be fun to take a shot…

If you really want a workout, sign up for the tapioca pudding-o-robics.

I love lime jello, but not enough to swim in the stuff.

Never eat yellow jello.

Which flavor is it?

Didn’t the Mythbusters try to swim in Jello once?

LIME? Ewww

There’s always room in jello.

Well. There’s always room for jello. I might even sign up for that class. Right after my Tai Chi in the park. …no really. Where do you sign up for Tai Chi classes. I’m in the market.

Remember to bring a spoon

Slorp…

Slorpin’ to the Oldies…

“Good evening, it’s June 29th, 2011 and here’s your evening news… today the local hospital reported that they are missing their entire supply of green Jello and police are investigating. A hospital spokesperson stated that they have locked down their supply of shredded carrots and mini marshmallows as a precaution.

At last, a use for green jello

What next? Mud wrestling?

Eat while you play?

It’s as easy as 1-2-3! (Anyone remember?)

Just imagine the cost of all that Jell-o…

It is lemon yellow jello, but someone thought something else was coloring it so they added chlorine until it turned green.

“Slorp?”

Gatorade flavor.

An old uncle of mine used to say jello was the closest thing to nothing you could eat.

It should be lemon jello. That way you couldn’t tell when someone, you know, did something in the pool.

That should make for a sticky situation.

I’m thinking Bleeb’s glad he wasn’t around when this strip was made.

Seeing how Bill Cosby used to do commercials for jello…..nope.

I once brought a multilayered jello to a party. No one touched it, then I was told it originally was made from horses’ hooves. It was a vegetarian crowd, and I learned something that day.

The sexiest thing in the world is a bathtub full of lime Jell-O.

It’s all fun and games, until you end up with ants in your pants.
