ilsapadu, cats lack the taste receptors for “sweet”. They might be able to eat chocolate, but there’s no reason they’d find it enjoyable.
Eno, you should have left one bonbon in the box. After all, a “single, perfect rose” is as romantic as a dozen, so why wouldn’t a “single, perfect chocolate” be as effective as a boxful?
When my beloved Bert was about a year old, he got into a box of assorted chocolates that a roommate had unwisely left open within his each, and finished off about half the box before he was discovered. No adverse reactions, except a pissed-off roommate, and I had to pay for a replacement box.
In the first collection of “Get Fuzzy” comics, Darby Conley’s dedication was to his childhood dog Patch “who probably ate chocolate every day of her life. I’m not recommending this, I’m just sayin’…”
runar, if you go back to last year’s Valentine’s Day, you’d probably find another 15, and another 15 the year before that, and next year there’l probably be another 15. There are some gags that every cartoonist feels they have an inalienable right to use once in their careers. At least on the other 51 weeks of the year you’re unlikely to run into this particular gag…
My own “single perfect chocolate” reference above was cribbed from an old Richard’s Poor Almanac strip by Richard (Cul de Sac) Thompson, “The Language of Valentines:”
Cute Little Card: “I love you. Let’s elope at recess.”
Scented Bath Salts: “I love you, but you have smell issues.”
Expensive Perfume: “The bath salts aren’t working.”
A Single Perfect Rose: “I love you anal-retentively.”
A Single Perfect Chocolate: “I love you, but I got hungry.”
Lacy Underthings: “I’m thinking of Tyra Banks. NO!You! I’m thinking of you!”
HuggyWuv BearGram & Jellybeans: “My ardor for you dwarfs that of Romeo for Juliet - O! fain would I linger in thy fair arms but Alas! for I’ve eaten all the jellybeans, too.”

Chocolate kills dogs.

Not white chocolate!

Actually dogs can safely ingest a small amount of chocolate, just like my waistline.

Women like it better with the chocolate in it, Eno.

How thoughtful of Eno. He’s saving her from……well…..she’s already got a big butt.

Cats can eat chocolate, I think Garfield ate it.

Number of “somebody ate the candy before it got to the recipient” comics read today: 15.
Get a new idea, guys. I might as well just be reading the same strip over and over.

comicgos - let’s be serious; “white chocolate” may be white, but it certainly isn’t chocolate.
GROG Premium Member over 13 years ago
I beg to differ, crit74. But I like it better than dark chocolate if I have to eat chocolate at all.
COWBOY7 over 13 years ago
It doesn’t look like she needs any chocolate. Maybe exercise.

How magnanimous of you, dipwad!

I believe “white chocolate” is made from cocoa butter, so it’s not entitely unlike chocolate…
comicgos over 13 years ago
crit74 - WHAT? White chocolate isn’t chocolate? Who do I sue?
