The, “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” approach.

no license?

Push on, Gene. It’s not as bad as sweating bullets. Once you get those jar labels made with Mary Lou’s picture, it’s all gravy…uhhh Gumbo.

Not just any chickens. Meg’s chickens.

Last year a local farm restaurant kept a pig in a pen near the front door. It was a real cute thing to see, but I told the owner he should have had T-shirts made up saying “Don’t Fall in Love with the Pig”. Why? There was no pen this year, but the home made sausage was the best.

Possibly because Meg’s chickens are nearing the end of their laying career, which happens a good while before they’re done living. They’re considering the retirement plan.

Baked, roasted, fried, broiled, stewed, in a salad …

Free Enterprise! Not Savage Kapitalism. And besides that? A great cartoon.

There are eggs with the brand name Nellie’s that have a picture of a little girl on the packaging

I’m sure in our minds we are supposed to think we are buying those eggs from that little girl, like Meg

Nellie is a bit greedy though, her eggs are not cheap

Glad Mary Lou is full blonde again. Suits her.

Calling Colonel Sanders.

What does sweating the chickens means?

Chicken Gumbo

Reminds me of my Grandson quite a few years back now. They live in Seattle. My sons wife wanted to try having “City Chickens.” They began hatching eggs as soon as they were grown. They had a wide variety of hens, so the eggs varied in color and size. My grandson being the young entrepreneur that he was (and still is) he, like Meg, saw a market for the eggs. He would sell them to the neighbors by delivering to their door. He got so busy he built a stand in front of their house and sold them from there. As far as I know they still have some chickens, but my Grandson is off to College this year. I’m pretty sure his major will be in business, marketing and sales. Not a surprise…

Me thinks some of the commenters have a hidden agenda, or is that a secret menu.

just keep them out of the kitchen

If you’re going to treat your characters like real people in a pandemic, then you must also introduce death to your comic strip. One reality isn’t enough if you plan on making them real-life. They are not, by the way.

The health department DOES bother restaurants a lot more these days!

No matter what you do there’s always someone who it’s not good enough for or it’s the wrong color or the wrong type or the wrong manufacturer. It never fails. Take this comment for example.
