On the matter of Durians …

She’s gonna gain like ten pounds before she realizes she’s not really pregnant, isn’t she?

Like I said – not like they would know the difference from her eating habits.

Sedine eating sweets? She hates sweets, if she’s eating the pure sugar that jelly beans are then she might be having pregnancy cravings…

I’m still leaning towards that’s she’s not pregnant, and she won’t figure it out for a while, she seems to have false pregnancy cravings down, and if she continues to cross spice, fruits, and candy she’ll have false morning sickness too! XD

Although I think this pregnancy is most likely false, Sam hasn’t really been happy since finding out. I thought he’d love the idea of being a father, although anxiety is expected it’s kind of depressing how joyless Sam is coming off. Roy was happy right off the bat when Charlene told him, even though his qualifications and resources for fatherhood were…non-existent…

I’m still calling false alarm

I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop…

BTW – nice comeback from Sam in Panel One.

The bulge in your stomach will certainly grow, but not because is a living being… at least not the one hoped.

wth is a durian?

Sedine normally hates sugar… so the jelly beans must be proof of preggo cravings…

Watch out, Sam! She keeps eating like that and she will get as big as Violet in the original Willy Wonka movie but without turning blue.

For a cartoon, this is as close to a confirmation as we can expect. Food cravings.

What excuse did you use before, Sedine?

I would guess Sedine’s been eating for two for awhile now, which would account for the bulge she’s taking as an indication of pregnancy.

Maybe she just got really really hungry

Hot chili? Yeah! Jelly beans… no. Durians are just plain nasty, and that girl needs an intervention.

Assuming Sedine could find durian fruit in this country, Sam would not be blithely standing by, but would be in the bathroom puking his guts out. The smell has emptied hotels when a guest illegally smuggles one into his room in the countries where it grows. (It’s a male thing, like Limburger cheese or cheap cigars.)

It’s also lethal when the trees start dropping the ripe fruit. It weighs 6-8 pounds, has a hard spiked shell and grows up to 150 feet off the ground. Trees are usually circled with yellow caution tape when ripeness approaches. Falling durians kill more people every year than sharks do.

Wait a minute. She’s eating jelly beans… She’s… eating… JELLY BEANS!!!

Dear God… Perhaps she is pregnant, after all.

I don’t know what is shocking me more… That she’s eating jelly beans, or that she’s eating them with a fork.

Poor Sam never had a chance.

After eating all that, Sedine might want a bite of their old marriage cake.

You know, the one she made while wearing only an apron…
