Korean dish with rice, veggies, sauce, and sometimes meat and an egg (because when doesn't an egg make things better?). If you're thinking that sounds like most asian food you're probably right, but it's delicious.

I actually had a hunch it was supposed to be a Korean place before a trolley posted about the bibimbap, because they love to have the word "story" in their brands and names and poo poo. You'll see random restaurants named BREAD STORY or whatever.

MM&O is good but I don't know if I'd classify it as funny. Sometimes some things happen which are more amusing than bleak but there aren't any actual jokes.

I think you're giving him too much credit, he's really just a massive doormat who's mistaken any kind of attention from his 'friends' for good attention. At this point it's like a case of Stockholm syndrome as he's been hanging out with the same people since high school and they've always treated him the same way.

Here's the strip about their time in high school, it explains a whole lot about how all the characters currently relate to each other, and why owl has hung around for so long.

He's been carrying a torch for Megg ever since they first met even though it's 100% unreciprocated

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
The best Megg, Mogg and Owl comics are the ones that include the line "One more year."

Korean food is like a joke that I'm not in on. "OMG kalbi SOOOO good. The way we put this meat on the heat source with absolutely no flavors or seasonings is just diviiiiiine"

bibimbap is what a poor, divorced dad would make himself when he doesn't know how to grocery shop.

Was your crappy step-dad a Korean chef or something? Well your parents aren't getting back together, man, and it's time for you to realize that and stop taking your anger out on harmless ethnic dishes.

Am I still allowed to hate Amish cooking even if none of those things are true? Because there's literally nothing special about Amish cooking but people are paying $20/head to wait on months long waiting lists to eat authentic Amish cuisine at actual Amish houses.

Serious question. Are the Owl comics something collected on a website or in a book or something? People just seem to post them randomly and I'm not clear what, if anything, they're from.

A lot of them are posted on Vice.com but there's also a bunch of printed books that have strips which are harder to find online.

Edit: this Imgur account (which seems to belong to a Goon) also has a bunch of the longer strips: http://hwsa.imgur.com/

Simon Hanselman has a tumblr or twitter or formspring or something and sometimes they get posted there. I bought two books to get the rest of them. I'd go to vice it has a pretty large collection.
