Happiest ‘babies in a plastic bag’ scene ever!!!

I know for a fact that that is where they come from.

Awe… Sweet

Just regular carrots cut down to size usually. Baby corn, that’s different. You can do real baby carrots but I suspect baby-cut carrots are the norm these days.

Very clever, once again.

Eh… What’s up, stork?

Just plant them, water them and they’ll sprout in no time.

But, but… we only did it Once!!

Awww. So cute.

This strip is his-stork-kle.

This turned into a big dill.

Tell ’em Groucho sent you!

When life gives you carrots.. make cake..?

Just lemme turn around. I’ve got you some ranch dip here, too.

The stork from Costco.

Why are storks in cartoons always drawn wearing those old-time railroad-depot-manager hats?

Oh! Now get a kiddie pool (filled with ranch dressing)

A bunch?

Wrong house!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Very nice, Mark. Not sure why the parents looked so surprised – they’ve been rooting around for some time.

Well, sure — where else would they come from?

Baby carrots are large carrots that are cut and shaped then washed in a chlorine solution (to eliminate bacteria) then rinsed and packed. It’s OK to eat them.
