Sniff…

the twinkie kid…you went too soon…

Oh, great! Now I’m dyin’ for a Twinkie….

And the political cartoonists are bewailing the loss of the easy jokes of the past year.

Nebulous, man the jokes were really too easy to make this election………Clown Car became an apt metaphor……..

Why? Why did he have to go? He was still in his prime.

We thought he’d last forever.

When the doorbell rings do you walk backwards to the door?

Any company executives and managers who couldn’t make a fortune selling sugary sweets to fat Americans probably couldn’t find their own back sides with both hands, a road map, and a book of anatomy to help them.

I have never tasted a “Twinkie” but if it tastes anything like other US confection, I am quite happy to have missed the opportunity.

Wait – doesn’t this strip take place in the future?

I haven’t had a Twinkie in years, and I don’t miss them at all. To the extent that my diet will allow it, I would like some of the chocolate items.

Should have been Cliff giving the presentation.

A top seller at our annual fair is deep fried twinkies, what will they have this year? They do have deep fried Oreos, guess that will have to do.

Nice right-wing reading if you’re into that sort of stuff. I’m not.

Spoken like a true leftist liberal. It was over extension that put the company in trouble, it was the union’s refusal to work with the company that finished it. Hope they enjoy being out of work completely. A smaller paycheck is always preferable to no paycheck at all.

Twinkies returned Jul 25, 2013 after bankruptcy proceedings were completed.
