Fried Gecko.

That’s what he gets for not saving us 15% on our car insurance!

Well, I was trying to save up enough for a vacation trip, but if specialized gecko food is more important to you….

I hear gluten-free is all the rage among geckos this year.

He’s just going to be a gluten for punishment after all this!

You were the one that HAD to buy a Non-GMO Gluten-Free lizard!

Crickets and mealworms are naturally gluten-free, and also probably non-GMO.

Must be a California thing.

There’s one born every minute.

Cheaper to just buy a new gecko.

I know it’s a comic, but I feel I should mention that there is no evidence that gluten causes gastric reflux disease. And while gluten is a very nutritious protein, I doubt that geckos can benefit from it.

Looks like Little Alien Dude is checking out the pet food. Not sure what he would like.

He’s making enough money hawking insurance he can buy his own damn food.

I don’t think lizards are supposed to eat grains. So, yeah. Probably healthier for the lizard. But hey, it’s always good to poke fun at the celiac community when you can’t think of a joke.

Celiac disease actually. Nothing worse than a gecko with loose stools…

I went into a place that advertised “gluten free.” Asked for my free gluten.
