Description
Ahh, bureaucracy and big government; two great tastes that taste great together!
Oddly enough, this is actually pretty close to the truth about our food-safety laws here in the US... and you thought your country's politics were silly!
Some food is dangerous though... I think these hamburgers should probably be the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security.
I tried something a little different with the colors here, using a darker skin tone... I realized recently that my white characters are pale enough I think to be considered "sickly".
Also I figured I could get away with doing this one now since it's barely political.

In the future? ... This is the current reality... unless they've managed to change the law since I made the comic. I haven't kept track of it.

Oh shit really? They're regulating sandwiches?

If they're being sold pre-made at a supermarket or a convenience store, yeah... they're not without their reasons -- they're food-safety regulations originally, it's just that they've been fouled up by bureaucracy.

Seems like it. Are these were government regulations, market regulations, or both
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure if there were any market regs - I know some of them were government food-safety regs.

I thought it was government regs. Doesn't surprise me the regulation got out of hand. The government does that a lot

Hahahaha, suck it USD and any other 3 letter acronyms in the government!

It's the USDA. USD is the acronym used to mean United States Dollars.

In Strike Back, I love the name they got, 'Clit Commander', it sounds like a name straight out of a sci-fi porno xD

Ewwww those burgers was naaaaasty:S I'm glad here in Norway that the restaurant gets frequent visit from the health department. I used to buy some junkfood after one night of beer drinking in a local place called Sem few times during a year, but then the place was locked down due to bad hygiene:S Oh man, I was lucky not to get sick.
Nice work on the comic

lol... well at least gas station sandwiches -- those are the ones that get those inspections.

Down here we don't have sandwich inspections if we did I would have to pay alot of fines

Heh... not unless you sell thousands of sandwiches per month off of an assembly line.

The darker skin tone looks good, and this made me laugh so hard. (My word, those burgers are really scary! I'm sure there's a way to weaponize them and use them to our advantage.

Thanks Court!
I'd be afraid if we weaponized those burgers that they'd violate the UN's ban on torture.
Seems like an odd thing to get distracted by tho... I mean... hair is brown... wood is brown... it must happen pretty frequently that a person's hair is a similar shade as a table. My eyes used to be fairly close to sky-blue, although they're more gray now.

(which is mostly just to say that I'm easily distracted.

And then when you throw it on a panini grill, you need to pull in the foreign relations committee.

Ah, I love me those food safety laws. I think my favourite is 'Frozen cheese pizza WAIT! Now there is pepperoni on it! I can't test it!'

also,
actually i think the only problem with ur white characters is the background ^ ^, the background is a pretty light blue, and that tint of blue is also in their skin tone and it makes em look washed out
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For some of my recent strips yeah... 'cept for like a couple of strips with my daughter where I used really dark backgrounds... but I think I'm gonna stick with this darker skin tone for most of my white characters from now on. Should help with some other things too -- in that last zombie strip I could barely see the sweat bead because his skin was so light.
Thanks Mel!

This one is so true it made me cry a little
But I love it

Thanks Ash(?)!
I'm glad you're feeling better... I wanted to say something before to try and comfort you, but I was worried it would only upset you more. (Partly because I actually do disagree with a lot of the policy ideas and conclusions I've seen from the Tea Party. - I'm independent myself.) But I really like you and I don't want politics to foul that up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My being upset had nothing to do with politics.
(As someone did in comment to my journal)
That's a form of hatred I do not enjoy.
But yeah, my issues were of a personal nature.

Ahh, okay, I feel better now. 
My mom does that with Democrats... she had one bad experience with a sleazebag Democrat attorney and decided that all liberals and all Democrats are evil people bent on the destruction of our country... le-sigh... Yeah, there are Democrats I dislike -- and there are Republicans I like, like David Frum. As polarized as the Republican party is, as much as I think they have a "groupthink" problem as a group, I'm still able to recognize that they're not The Borg, they are still individuals with their own thoughts.

And this is why I'm happy to live in Italy. And why US troops love when Italian troops are stationed nearby (our cooks are just that good, and the soldiers know).

Wouldn't work so well for me... I don't like al dente pasta.

We have plenty of foods, not just pasta, and we recognize only the Frenchmen as our rivals.
