Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for December 23, 2017

Hope that green stuff on the plate isn’t meat.

Well, since only seven of my 60 or so comics have updated…

I traveled to Twitter to find out what Tony’s asking….

which is…. “Favorite protein?”

Hmmm… elastin is nice.

Wish I still had more of it.

And a lot of the amino acid ones keep me going….

sorry, but I don’t remember all their names.

X .. I hope those are beans or something, and the poor colorist just didn’t have time to read the strip in the 10 minutes they’re allotted.

and Kyle… right.

No lettuce is quaking in its roots.

@Tony

“Favorite protein?”

Beer, of course. And don’t be giving me any of that scientific mumbo jumbo.

So’s his brain.

~ source of ~ would make sense, but phrased like that…

Sorry no comment today I haven’t updated either!!!

@Tony

“Favorite protein?”

Medium rare ribeye when I can afford it. Bush’s baked beans when I can’t. Washed down with X-Tech’s favorite.

What’s with the updates? Everyone gone home for the holidays?

@ Tony:

My favorite protein is beef. And I hope you all won’t have a beef with me when I ask today’s…

Second “Daddy’s Home” Question:

What counts as a “vegetable”?

(Today’s strip reminds me of the time when then-President Ronald Reagan told the nation that “ketchup may be used as a vegetable”!)

At least Elliot is getting his ruffage and I’m with X-Tech on the favorite protein.
