Hi i'm a hobbyist home cook and i'm furious about this stupid comic strip

Like a Santoku is particularly exotic or in any way markedly different from a standard chef's knife

Why do these two dickheads have these vegetables? I went back to the start of the week to check and Les just showed up with them and said "TJ knows someone who has a garden" but doesn't explain how or why he ended up in possession or what he's expected to do with them. I feel like TJ's going to show up after they've all been cooked and eaten and demand to know where his vegetable are, but that makes no sense - because it doesn't make any sense for Les to have them in the first place! :psyduck:

TJ's a prick who inserted himself in Tiffany and Dez's conversation when he overheard them talking about their kitchen and vegetable garden. He started acting like they'd be cool letting him get free vegetables or the use of Tiffany's huge kitchen, despite the fact that Tiffany hasn't even said yes to it. Presumably he got those vegetables off Dez offscreen, so at least there's a thread of thought in this.

Now everything about the kitchen, and why Les has the vegetables? That poo poo is nonsensical. TJ wanted to cook Paella in Tiffany's kitchen, so why did he even give the vegetables to Les? He's also the manager of Luann's family's restaurant, which has a perfectly functional kitchen, so there's no reason to cook in someone else's kitchen. And if making Paella is supposed to be really messy, then he's a dick for wanting to do that in Tiffany's kitchen and forcing her to clean up after him.

It's amazing how these five strips each have their own different flavors of wrong/hosed up. Holbrook was completely a trashfire on fire for this week.

What is the Evans' fascination with that abrupt, list-style dialog? It shows up a lot in Luann? Is it supposed to sound cool?
Also you can tell that this is a "haha the kids don't know what's good" because there's a Santoku knife joke.

Holbrook, drawing attention to the fact that Kevin is somehow still running an ISP out of his basement is not a great plan. How the hell did that even work, anyway? Did you shell out for like a T1 and several phone lines and let people modem in or something?

I'm pretty sure Holbrook was making a joke about perfumed scent strips in women's magazines here, not "women's magazines are stinky garbage."

Yeah. The whole reason TJ went vegetable picking in the first place was because he wanted ingredients to make some fancy-pants dish that I can't be bothered to go back and check what it was. [edit: amigolupus has reminded me it's paella.] I figured maybe he gave the veggies to Les to hold onto until cooking time, but why do that instead of keeping them in his own home? Or at his kitchen at the Cafe he co-owns? Or in the fancy kitchen he's pressuring his employee Tiffany to let him use? And if he doesn't want Les to do anything with the vegetables, why not tell Les that? So maybe he is cool with Les using the veggies and he's just giving his second-least favorite employee vegetables from somebody else's garden because...???



1. Commenting on how somebody's diet is going, especially in a negative way, if they haven't specifically invited you to do so is a poo poo-rear end move and you are an enormous dick.
2. gently caress you, Ed.




I wonder what the specific level of food knowledge is that you can't identify basic veggies on sight, but you know that cutting onions makes you cry and you are confident about following a recipe for veggie soup.

The GC commentariat are scandalized that Bets is being friendly with a man who is not her boyfriend, btw. Evidently this is what counts for flirting if you are a Luann fan?
