Frazz by Jef Mallett for March 29, 2022

Only a bad dream. I’m surprised you didn’t have a bad belly ache.

The process of growing up involves getting a better grip on what “doing something to deserve it” actually means. Usually by example.

I can hear Neapolitans turning over in their grave

OMG, that sounds just awful

Ah, it used to be rarebit.

No anchovies?

Hawaiian, with jalapeños added!

Dill pickle and onion ring pizza, i.e., veggie pizza.

I wonder if weird food really does cause bad dreams or if it’s a case of confirmation bias. Has anyone done a proper scientific study? If so, I bet it’s worthy of an igNoble. ;-)

If bad things only happened to people who deserved them, the world would be a much better place.

Just reading that combination causes me problems. Can’t imagine what would happen if I actually ate anything like that. Or maybe I can.

Dill pickle soup is smaczne!

Inspired by Winsor McKay’s “Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend” and “Little Nemo” in which bizarre nightmares were always caused by eating some troublesome food before bedtime.

Why is he assuming that food affects dreaming? And how is it that he’s able to order a pizza for himself just before bedtime?

The pizza sounds interesting, but I wouldn’t be eating it before bed.

What is the “after” for?

“Congratulations you ruined pizza! First the Hawaiians and now you!”
