Looks Good on Paper by Dan Collins for July 15, 2021

Order up!

Ironically, one of the survivors made it to Sacramento, Calif., and opened a restaurant!!!

Been waiting long?

I’ll stop shaking my head in about an hour.

I prefer legs and thighs …

Oh, so that’s what happened to the Dufresnes. Call off the Bush search party!

Must be the “Alferd G. Packer Memorial Grill” with the slogan “Have a friend for lunch!”

If you know the real, true story of the Donner-Reed Party you will understand that this is not as funny as it seems. Some of the survivors settled in the San Jose, CA, area and there are several streets named after them.

Just ketchup, please.

I’ve had Donner kebab at a middle eastern restaurant. I wondered if it was made from reindeer meat.

(At other restaurants it was spelled “Doner kebab.”)

Too soon? Nah.

Still too soon.

And I thought human meat was Trayf.

Missing first 2 panels: Donner party of 8, Donner party of 7…

Take the clothes off first.

They’re playing Twisted Twister.

Great fun at restaurants. Doesn’t work so much anymore now that they use beepers and smartphone notification but you can still find a few spots.

Give the person at the desk the name Donner. When they get to your turn you hear “Donner, party of 8, Donner party of 8”.

The next sound you hear is the cracking neck joints as a few savvy diners whip their heads around in surprise.

The one guy must like rump roast.
