Re: 2021/04/30 - Ambrosia

I know this is over two years old (I can't believe the time went by so fast), But I had never heard of brown butter cookies before this strip, and it would frequently come to mind since that time. So finally last week I googled it and found a recipe and made brown butter chocolate chip cookies. :o O...

Looked to me like Rick was satirizing the incompetence of the mainstream media. The captions are switched, the graphics are wrong or missing entirely.

Marion, Lois, and all of the other transformed characters in this arc have become such a part of the comic as a whole, that I would miss them if they returned to their human form. Even Steward. Even Thomas. Maybe Thomas.
