Miss Bliss: Another Interesting Corn Fact - Corn is susceptible to a fungus called "corn smut." Beni: I don't think this corn maze is haunted at all. Alice: Miss Bliss, I feel yucky. Miss Bliss: Oh, dear, Alice. Dill: I'll bet she's got corn smut! Beni: In the movies, this is when someone turns into a zombie! Kevin: Alice is a corn-smut zombie! RUN!

Arrgh! Corn smut zombies! Just when you thought it was safe to go out again!
(Personal: Old Wolf, are you reading this? Num, num, num.)
margueritem over 14 years ago
Sisyphos, I was thinking about Old Wolf, too. What is that dish called again?
pbarnrob over 14 years ago
Chupaquesos? Nah⊠huitlacoche.
Howard Tayler of Schlock Mercenary webcomic invented the chupaqueso, crisped cheese wrapped around melted cheese.
Then some huitlacoche and natto gently folded together, as a side dish for #2 on the menu⊠-as seen at Schlock Mercenary 08/08/08.

morgueritem, pbarnrob has it right: here is Old Wolfâs smutto video.
EDIT: had to edit that a couple of times to get it right: itâs good to go now.

I think Attack of the Corn Smut Zombies would make a great movie.

âAttack of the Corn Smut Zombiesâ, I think I saw that at a drive-in theater back in the 70âs.

Poor Alice - sheâs about to discover that sheâs allergic to corn.

Night of the Corn Smut Zombies? - Sorry, I donât watch cornâŠ
Bargrove over 14 years ago
We went to Mexico and had âCorn Mushroomâ soup. It turned out to be corn smut which I had seen often on the farm as a kid. Eating it seemed out of the question, except we ate it before it was identified and it was quite good. I have heard that it is available in Mexican grocery stores canned, but I have never seen it. Corn Smut Zombies is quite funny.
D Frog. You donât watch corn. Come now you are the punniest among us. Where do you get it? I know: Your motherâs knee or some other low joint. AckâŠ..attack of those zombies!!!

I think that there is a kernel of truth behind Kevinâs comment.

Corn smut really is quite disgusting, scary, alien-looking stuff. oozing out of the ear or taking over the tassel. Perfect for Halloweâen! Although itâll turn Alice into a pod person, not a zombieâŠ

Poor Alice. Her facial expression in panel 2 makes me feel bad for her.
Steven Crofts over 14 years ago
I wounder if she has alergies. I could never go to farms because of my hay and animal alergies.
chromosome Premium Member over 14 years ago
DF, I canât watch corn, either. I donât have a cornograph.
billdi Premium Member over 14 years ago
run you fools!

I guess Alice is going to be a vomiting pangolin for Halloween..

This is what happens when you allow two unrelated conversations to mixâŠ

Love it! (And also love how Dillâs hair detaches from his head in moments of great excitementâŠ)

I know I have seen that some love that corn product, I find it disgusting (but then, I also will not eat okra either). I have been learning new recipes and experimenting with my better/healthier versions, but those will NOT be among my ingedients.
Old Wolfâs vid was great and I see that heâs probably younger than my kids- Iâm dazzlebirdy on utube and only posted one of Cuddles talking so far.

We all have SOMETHING that disgusts us. With you itâs corn and okra, which I do like, and for me, itâs cheese. Any kind of cheese, I find it disgusting. If youâve ever been anywhere that had a filthy menâs room where maybe someone threw up, then you know what cheese smells like to me. And the taste is even worse. And, yes, I eat pizzaâŠâŠjust NO cheese. Iâve been eating it that way for over 50 years. (Iâm 75) I didnât have a pizza for the first time until I was in the Marine Corps at 17yo. SoâŠâŠ.I guess 58 years.
