Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 28, 2014

Dr. Oz segments.

Watch longer porn.

Pop songs/music videos are about 3:00; most of the ‘filler’ on TV, between ‘product’ (commercials) comes out close to that. It’s a natcheral!

Very likely to burn the popcorn because you are not listening for 2 seconds between “pops”.

Just don’t push U2 videos. People hate that.

Anyone who eats microwave popcorn has a death wish!

Pop-porn corn

QVC

My popcorn is ready in 2 minutes.

Ya know, this strip is a rerun, and I remember thinking the first time around that it was a stupid concept. Since then, just a years or two, I think, the demand for electronically transmitted content has gotten even bigger. Maybe GT is more visionary than any of us know.

For me, “something useful” for those 3 minutes would be adding butter and salt to that air-popped packing material…

A rerun from 2012, the first Sunday rerun since the second Doonesbury daily hiatus.

Why not be smarter and fix it so you can kill two birds with one stone? Make microwaves more dangerous so that people who want the porn start to glow.

Women wish it took longer than 3 minutes with that extra time.

Look out, the next thing will be a microwave that doesn’t let you unlatch the door til you’ve watched an ad. (Pop-up ad?)

I hope Trudeau has trademarked that idea.

Gee, I must’ve missed this the first time around when I was up in Wisconsin or something. BTW, I did recognize President-for-Life Bmzklfrpz in Panel 5, but when I first saw it in today’s Tampa Bay Times, they had left out the first two panels. Boo!

I have heard that computers will soon be nowhere and everywhere. We won’t have them in the current form of little boxes, rather, we will have smart, enchanted objects in our lives. Smart refrigerators, dishwashers, etc. My daughter just got back from Japan and tells me that many folks over there don’t even have dishwashers or clothes dryers, let alone smart or enchanted objects of this kind. I think it has something to do with energy consumption and the cost of it.

More than 3 minutes nuking the popcorn?

Yep, hot air popping is good.

Women don’t stand watching the microwave – there’s always something else useful to do in a kitchen.I still don’t know whether blokes really can’t see these tasks or just can’t be arsed.

News Flash, the body does not recognized microwave food as a nutrient source. Why, because the nuclear process changes the molecular structure of the food stripping all nutrional elements. The body processes it as “waste”. Just thought you’d want to know what the Surgeon’s mom was told when she was caught nuking a frozen dinner. Then I received a long lecture on how micro’s are baned in Germany. My kid is a hawk!!!!

Oh yeah, now I have a “toaster oven”.
