FoxTrot by Bill Amend for December 12, 2021

I hear that this version of Dune (the movie) isn’t bad.

I know who’d like some nutmeg in their eggnog: YouTube personality Jon Townsend.

You hope he’s got all the feeds for the recycle system connected correctly.

Fremen have no concept of bathing, due to the nature of the suit.

Today’s classic Sunday strip we’re missing:

Hope Mom goes easy on the “all,” though. At about a teaspoon full, nutmeg is a hallucinogen….

I prefer my nutmeg in a “Pain Killer”.

I suppose this joke was Duned to happen.

I don’t get it, but then I haven’t seen Dune…

Not being familiar with Dune, I googled it, an got an excellent clip that explains everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlV7Gh1sbVs

The spice must flow!

I do not get it.

I love egg nog!!

No, because you are, Andy. Maybe having him play outside more often is in order.

If he’s book accurate as a fremen he should smell terrible.

The Spice MUST flow!

Nutmeg, one of the world’s most violently discovered spices.

“The pumpkin spice must flow!”

What a shame Foxtrot is stuck in this once a week format. No time to build a decent story arc.

Jason and Marcus ought to have at least two weeks for a Dune arc. Think what Jason could have done with a story arc built around Thanos’ gauntlet. I can see Jason wearing Dr. Strange’s cloak in a dream sequence. Or Peter, working part time at Scoops Ahoy at the Starcourt Mall in Hawkins, IN.

He who controls the spice controls the universe

About time we got another Jason cosplay.

She clearly doesn’t understand how a stillsuit works.

Since the new Star Trek series are woke, I think I’ll avoid the new Dune

Nice still suit Jason.

too much nutmeg actually CAN cause it to act as a mild hallucinogen, so this isn’t that far off

Let the spice flow!

For me I remember when I had eggnog did not stay down, first and last time.

I just tried a sprinkle of cardamom in eggnog, really awesome

But Frank Herbert described Melange as smelling like cinnamon?!?

“Long-term use of nutmeg in doses of 120 mg or more daily has been linked … other mental side effects.” — WebMD

Guess that explains a lot.

I haven’t seen any version so far, so I won’t have any ideas of how good or bad it is.

?

nutmeg on eggnog is horrid. Cinnamon, THATs what is great on it.

Siiiiiigh… I miss the dailies.

If he is accurately portraying the book he will never wash it.

I don’t get this comic
