His blood will be grateful.

Paul Newman played this guy in the movie.

Aw, unfertilized chicken ovum.

At least she’s trying and asking the mother-in-law will earn her Brownie points.

Cool Hand Luke, when he’s older and married.

Ummm yes I love eggs….but cooked, dear!

She must live in the countryside and have a large flock of chickens. I hope she, at least, soft boiled them and they aren’t raw.

He’d better get crackin’!

Poor guy looks shell-shocked!

He’ll never “go” again.

“So … can I call you ‘mommy’ now?”

Thankfully Jim’s art has improved over the years!

…and egg salad for lunch, and creamed eggs on toast for supper, and…

This could happen at our house as I bought eggs on sale, 18-pack for 97-cents yesterday. Breakfast will be “How do you want your eggs today?” for a while.

Are they cooked?

Hope you’re hungry!

In moderation, yes.

Do you prefer hen’s fruit or cackleberries?

…and cookies in your wife’s hair

Is it just me, or has Unger’s drawing style slightly changed in some undefinable way within the past few days’ strips?
