Monty by Jim Meddick for June 11, 2023

Well, he has a kernel of an idea.

I want mine butter flavored.

Monty: “Unfortunately, they are still tough and feel like biting into a shoe.”

Need another microwave.

A bit too corny, if you ask me.

He’s gonna need a bigger bowl…

great, but how do you get it out. :\

Gives the singular “popcorn” word a new meaning.

I like Monty’s goggles.

I think even Orville would be against the destruction of the microwave, and he was a stove n’ saucepan only guy.

From Orville LookAtTheSizeOfThatFocker? ☺

No unpopped kernels and the hard bits of broken shell are all located in one place. And, if you cook it in a pan, that should fix the microwave-breaking problem. This could be the best popcorn ever.

Looks like it would be tasty with sausage gravy.

Nice dose of microwave radiation if the hinge breaks before the latch. /s

Kind of hard to share. Got a steak knife? :)

GMOnty.

Many years ago, back when people repaired appliances instead of buying a new one, one of my grandmother’s neighbor fixed microwaves. He once told me that microwave popcorn was hard on microwaves. The small volume of the bag made the microwave work harder in some way. It’s been over 30 years, I don’t remember exactly how he put it.

One bag wouldn’t destroy a microwave, just wear it out faster. Not that the info stopped me from using microwave popcorn.

Off Topic, but does anyone know why, when you open the page and see X number of comment responses, that even after you read and dismiss them, they keep showing up on the page. If you click the back button they all reappear but even when you leave the page and come back… there they are… all waiting for you to read them again. I realize mine are all web gems worthy of reading again, but still….

Looks like making small things big is a thing in the comics today. See Doonbury.

How’d you like to bite into that little devil in a bowl of others if it didn’t pop?

Monty is a home-grown scientist.

But for finishers, you’ll need a lot of hot melted butter to slip that giant single popcorn out of the destroyed microwave. —And, to be sure, a new microwave. Talk about expensive popcorn!

I had a dream where I dried out a potato and microwaved it and it popped like this.
