Richard's Poor Almanac by Richard Thompson for October 03, 2022

I’ve known a few spongebrain cowpats in my time.

P. J. Piehole closed for hidden obsene messages on the children’s coloring menu.

I’m certain there is some copywrite infringement here….

I love Thompson’s “Restaurant Closings.” I’m pretty sure that P. J. Piehole’s has been closed in other Richard’s Poor Almanac strips as well.

It was that cow brain pie surprise that did it. Boy was it ever!

Causes Illustrations comparing a normal prion with a diseased prion How prions fold

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and its variants belong to a broad group of human and animal diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). The name derives from the spongy holes, visible under a microscope, that develop in affected brain tissue.

The cause of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and other TSEs appears to be abnormal versions of a kind of protein called a prion. Normally these proteins are produced in our bodies and are harmless. But when they’re misshapen, they become infectious and can harm normal biological processes.

“Over a million served” only then it was found out and traced back to every P. J. Piehole in the country and Guam. Poor Guam.

[Not to be confused with the Pie Hole in “Pushing Daisies”.]

P.J. Piehole’s has been closed so many times it should just surrender its license and give up!
