Strange Brew by John Deering for October 24, 2021

Nah. Bob’s the apple.

Peter Pumpkinhead isn’t into Grokking his friend?

Nope, Bob is for apples.

And Bob’s your uncle!

Get yourself a hot, steaming cup of BOB!

Boring literalist comment alert. Pumpkin spice is not made from pumpkins. It’s a spice blend for pumpkin recipes.

But maybe this shop really does flavor their coffee with spiced pumpkin innards. That masked server does look kind of menacing.

Anyway, I’ll just have my coffee black.

Ummmm, you don’t have one for a Jack?

No, not “Bob”. it’s all “spice” and no pumpkin.

The very thought drives him out of his gourd.

No real pumpkins were harmed in the making of this latte

And she couldn’t carve less.

Damn!

“Pumpkin Spice” is actually mostly artificial ingredients combined for a specific flavor, though a minuscule amount of pumpkin is sometimes added for marketing purposes. Enjoy!

Pumpkin spice is for seasoning pumpkin dishes; it has no pumpkin in it.

And you can tell?

That pumpkin head is a very nice bit of artwork!!!! :)

Why on EARTH do people go crazy over pumpkin spice?
