Transcript:
Adam: You know what we're missing here, Rolf? Rolf: Sigh... Here we go again... OK, what's missing? Adam: A sense of purpose... Something to inspire ambition that'll push us toward accomplishment... To just try being better. Rolf: Um... why? Who are you going to impress? Animals: Burp. Urrrp. Braap. Urp. Burp. Urrrp. Urp. Burp. Urp. Burp. Buuurp. Braaap. Adam: Urp. Good point.

JFri, a good brew, a faithful dog and being naked with a TV and pizza; that is heaven, isn’t it? Oh…I would like a side order of Eve.
(Life is good, but something is missing without her around, besides the comment she made about there being a better way to do this)

Eve got Adam in a lot of trouble. They got kicked out because Adam went along with Eve and didn’t tell her no we can’t eat that fruit.
Why would he want it if he had pizza?

The whole “B.E.” series is reminiscent of Mark Twain’s Adam and Eve sets (“The Bible According to Mark Twain.”).
Good stuff all around, Mr. Miller.

My favorite is the walrus with the beer hat! Although there is something really cute about a kitty burp.
Grog, great line about beans….

If they aren’t discreet on one end, they probably aren’t discreet on the other.

This is Eden. I’m certain that the pizza came from a pizza bush. There are several varieties, even one with anchovies.

I don’t eat spam from a can, and I won’t eat spam with my comics.
And … if only life was still like this. If God hadn’t created woman, who ate the fruit of knowledge we men would always have farting and burping contests. :D

B,E (Before Eve) there were no Victoria Secrets that we were dragged into and had to feel guilty as we sneakily fingered the lingerie. Didn’t have to flag them either. Nothing against Eve but she did eat them out of house and home.It wasn’t the apple that got Adam, it was the tomato.(Tomato doesn’t have an E? I could be vice president.)

How can reptiles and birds burp? (I suppose certain birds can mimic a burping sound.)

This is not THE Victoria Secret.
I think the pizzas from the pizza trees already have cheese and pepperoni on them. The boxes are like nut shells. That keg must hold a lot of beer.

Oh…oh….oh…wrong thing to say, Sir Allen of V! That kind of contentment goes on all the time - and not just outdoors! You can’t feign innocence on this one - farting/burping contests never cease to make men laugh…and women leave the room! Oh…maybe that’s the reason, eh?

@plus4- Who said there’s cheese on the pizzas? You do know that pizza doesn’t have to have cheese, don’t you? I actually prefer pizza without cheese.

God thought that it is not good for the man to be alone. He went unto him and said, “I shall give thee a companion. She shall be they helpmate and obedient servant; she shall wait upon thee hand and foot and fulfill thy every desire. She shall exist solely to exalt and gratify thee.”
And the man said, “Well, ‘kay, so what’s it going to cost me?”
“A fair remuneration would be an arm and a leg.”
“That’s pretty steep. How about you just take a rib?”
And so it was done….
And now you knowI!

Wiley, my favorite pizza is a tomato garlic no cheese from Ernesto’s in Boston’s North End!
And do I know you from a former life? Or are you eavesdropping on me?! I have called myself Dudette for many many years! LOL! :o)

JustAnotherMichael over 14 years ago
I flagged the spammer too. At first I thought it was a bot, now I think it’s a person. Either way it’s a real shame for spammers to come mess up this site.
I like pizza sans cheese, but it seems like it should have a different name than “pizza” if it’s without cheese.
Or maybe like someone else said, the cheese grows on trees. We have an authoritative literature source for that:
“Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew…”
(bonus points first person to name the author :-) )

You don’t need a woman to impress in order to advance; you can progress just as fast and as far if you have another guy around to outdo.
Anything you can do, I can do better! I can do anything better than you!
(P.S. grazer, I think Wiley showed a while back that there are scantily-clad cheerleaders at the game Adam’s watching, but they’re bears.)

I’m reminded of the Sylvia cartoon about what life would be like without men: “No crime and lots of fat happy women.”
Just kidding– the fish may not need the bicycle, but she can have a lot of fun with it.

That bleeep Victoria’s Secret is on every comic strip.
Let’s see how long it takes them to ditch this message because I used the work : bleeep
I don’t think this is the fault of spammers, Gocomics isn’t doing a thing about this.
I’m off to another strip to stamp out evil.

Pizza without cheese? I know they do that in China, but really, for those of us who grew up with Sicilian ideas of pizza, pizza comes with ONLY cheese and appropriately spiced tomato sauce. If you insist, the occasional fish on top is also OK, but this idea of ham or pineapple is just WRONG … and while pepperoni is a perfectly good sandwich item, it doesn’t really go well on pizza. :)
Joseph Krois over 14 years ago
No cheese on pizza?! That’s not the America I love! Because? In my heart I feel it’s wrong. What’s next? A Big Mac with no “special sauce”? A Whopper with no “whop”? R we to dismiss the notion that “ANYTHING” is better with bacon? Well I say “NO” and I’ll have bacon with that! In fact double bacon with sour cream and mucho, mucho queso! “BRAAAPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!” (Make of that what you will. Could have been a cough. ;0)

I logged on to FLAG!!!! They are the most conceited, patronising & insulting peces of Bleep!!! I emailed my thoughts to the staff of the spammer website & they sent me back an insult in Chinese(?) which roughly translated to: “STRESS STRESS DEATH DEATH!” As another reader pointed out, not sure if that was for me or that’s how they feel about the folks they work for.

From Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary
FEMALE, n. One of the opposing, or unfair, sex.
The Maker, at Creation’s birth, With living things had stocked the earth. From elephants to bats and snails, They all were good, for all were males. But when the Devil came and saw He said: “By Thine eternal law Of growth, maturity, decay, These all must quickly pass away And leave untenanted the earth Unless Thou dost establish birth” – Then tucked his head beneath his wing To laugh – he had no sleeve – the thing With deviltry did so accord, That he’d suggested to the Lord. The Master pondered this advice, Then shook and threw the fateful dice Wherewith all matters here below Are ordered, and observed the throw; Then bent His head in awful state, Confirming the decree of Fate. From every part of earth anew The conscious dust consenting flew, While rivers from their courses rolled To make it plastic for the mould. Enough collected (but no more, For niggard Nature hoards her store) He kneaded it to flexile clay, While Nick unseen threw some away. And then the various forms He cast, Gross organs first and finer last; No one at once evolved, but all By even touches grew and small Degrees advanced, till, shade by shade, To match all living things He’d made Females, complete in all their parts Except (His clay gave out) the hearts. “No matter,” Satan cried; “with speed I’ll fetch the very hearts they need” – So flew away and soon brought back The number needed, in a sack. That night earth rang with sounds of strife – Ten million males each had a wife; That night sweet Peace her pinions spread O’er Hell – ten million devils dead!
G.J.

Interesting that whatever the “bleep” represents was edited, but nobody can get rid of that VS ad that is on every single comic.
Just wondering if there were no women around, who was the Victoria’s Secret ad for.
