Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 08, 2023

I’m not sure how orgasmic Pumpkin Spice bacon would be.. But I’d love a nice BLT sandwich with thick crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, green leaf lettuce, on sourdough toast. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Nice to see TJ, Brad and Toni about to enjoy Sunday breakfast.

Hard pass

Yuck.

quick, someone trademark that!

Not a Dad Joke and not one putting down Luann… What a rare treat a decent Sunday strip.

I’m surprised nobody has thought of this before.

I think it sounds yummy. I’d try it!

Me too. It’s nice to see TJ again.

I’m not TOUCHING the dialog in that first panel.

Hi kids, it’s been a long time. Now, go to your room and bang out your own kind of extasy

Would eat.

In honour of the season, I’m getting my pumpkin spice covid shot.

Actually sounds good. Salty bacon with sweet, but not too sweet, pumpkin spice. Yep.

I prefer bacon rebaked with maple syrup.

Yes, it’s Fall so everything has to be pumpkin spice flavored.

Maple syrup on breakfast sausage (links or patties), with an egg, some kind of muffin and a cup of coffee.

This Sunday strip has some enjoyable, cartoonish humor in it. I can’t imagine pumpkin spice on bacon. Only in the world of cartoons.

TJ, Brad and Toni nice to see you back again.

Yes, by all MEANS partake of and enjoy Old Smiley’s “offering.”

Because if you attempt to experience “Orgasmic Ecstasy” on your OWN, Shannon usually shows up. ;-)

Emeril, eat your heart out , LOL!!

I wonder if Shannon will like it.

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Why don’t they get a girlfriend for TJ? He would make a good catch.

Chef Ptomaine strikes again!

Yecchh

TJ is really an amazing cook. It’s nice to see how much he enjoys cooking, expecially for his friends. I wonder if he will introduce the Pumpkin Spice Bacon in The Fuse’s menu or if it’s only for them.

Fall is in the air!

Pumpkin spice is WAY over done, time to put it to rest.

Why would anyone ruin bacon with pumpkin spice.

An introduction to seasons of taste?

Interesting new look—no space between panels.

How odd… Pumpkin Spice is everywhere this time of year. I don’t think I know anyone who actually likes it. (With, of course, the exception of pumpkin pie where it belongs.)

“At last”, TJ makes an appearance.

good-lookin’ cookin’

“Hey, good lookin’, what you got cookin’ How’s about cookin’ somethin’ up with me Hey, sweet baby, don’t you think maybe. We could find us a brand new recipe”

Remembering Hank

I’ve always said that pumpkin spice is the new bacon and now they’ve gone and proved it.

I’d try it

YUCK!

I’ll have what HE’S having.

Well, that was only a matter of time.

fool

Bleah! Not a fan of pumpkin spice anything.

Hooray! Brad and Toni are back! By the way, I think I prefer regular or turkey bacon.

I am proud to say I’ve never had pumpkin spice anything.

Olivejude has a recipe for pumpkin-spice-candied-bacon

Oh yuck! I want my bacon to taste like bacon, not dessert.

It’s nice to see TJ cook for his friends, shows the kind of person he really is; its also nice to see Brad and tension Toni have a nice Sunday breakfast together, given the slowly accelerating tension in the weekly arcs.

Now life can begin!!!

Someone please explain to me the attraction of “pumpkin spice”? I see it everywhere in most any kind of food, and, drink, but doesn’t appeal to my sense of taste.

I’d eat it.

Pumpkin spice is just Cinnamon, Cloves and Ginger. That sounds good on bacon. There is no pumpkin flavor in it, just the sp1ces you use for baked pumpkin products.

Apparently SP ICES is a banned word. Took me a while to figure out which word was a no no.

It is nice to see TJ again. He would be a great catch for someone.

oh. ikky-poo. plaff.

Noooo! Bacon needs no improvement!

Credit to TJ. After cooking all day at the Fuse, most people would be too washed out to cook at home.

I don’t generally associate ‘orgasmic ecstasy’ with ‘food’.

Pumpkin spice bacon sounds good.

TJ, and any- and every- one who inflicts pumpkin spice upon the public needs to die in agony.

No offense, but no.

Oh, Dear God no! Just NO!

That would be bliss for me, a TJ to cook for me :)

Hard pass on the pumpkin spice bacon

Barf…….

Monday will we continue with Luann and Bernice or move on to Les and Brad and Toni and Shannon.

So you can say orgasmic in a newspaper comic, but you can’t say the with without the I-C at the end in the comments? In other news, McDonald’s has brought back the McRib like it does each and every single year around Halloween, which, as someone I know has recently pointed out, the McRib is McDonald’s answer to pumpkin spice.

Tired of seeing and hearing of it. Walk into store with pumpkins outside the from doors, greeted with more pumpkins inside, pumpkins spice coffee, latte, pies, cakes, donuts, bread, pie makings, a dozen or so other things. Make it to the end of the isle, thought I was clear, turn the corner and see pumpkin spice cheerios……

Nope!

Pumpkin Spice Bacon? It’s the thing you never knew you wanted.

TJ must be a Bacun Hater, not to be confused with a Baconator

Otherwise known as a mouthgasm…

Biggest mistake in Charcuterie!

GAKKK!

Nooooo, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.Keep your never to be sufficiently darned pumpkin spice away from the bacon.

Ooo, I’ll have it with my peanut butter, BBQ soda!

There is such a thing as pumpkin spice bacon. A travesty in my book.

Funny strip but an appalling idea. But clearly heralded by maple syrup bacon.

JOY!!

Actually, I’m surprised I haven’t seen something similar. Pumpkin pie spice blend (or chai blend) mixed with brown sugar and diced pecans baked on bacon would be pretty amazing, I think.

Hey Mommy – what does “orgasmic” mean?

That. Sounds. Awful!Bacon can be enhanced by smoking it with various woods, like Hickory, Maple or Mesquite, but Pumpkin??

NOPE

Pumpkin-spice bacon beer.

Why would you ruin bacon that way?

I like pumpkin and bacon, but I’m not sure together.

NOOOOOOooooooo!!!!!

Easy pass.

I can’t eat most bacon, due to the fact that I’m Jewish, and I’m sick and tired of pumpkin-spiced-everything anyway.

Well, daaaaaang! Now I want to try pumpkin spice bacon!!!

Actually, I LOVE bacon and I love Pizza, but bacon on Pizza is YUCKKY!!

TJ’s leftover bacon will be served free with a cup of coffee at the Fuse tomorrow. Question – has Luann ever drank a cup of coffee?

He had me at BACON!

Don’t laugh too hard – in test kitchens all over America at this very moment, someone’s trying to perfect this…

I think it’s about time that Puddles got his own storyline. Maybe he gets an invitation to attend a reunion at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm.Wait, you mean that story was already done by somebody?

Cinnamon bacon? Been done. https://www.allrecipes.Com/recipe/239497/cinnamon-bacon/

Pumpkin Spice is a chemical. Sometimes a minute amount of pumpkin will be added to the product to allow it to be listed on the ingredients label. I avoid pumpkin spice anything.

Wow. Seasonal novelty bacon. What a chef….

Ooof… my stomach just turned, and not in a good way.

I think I might throw up.

I am so sick n tired of Pumpkin Spice anything!!! YUCK!!

Hmm. I don’t know whether to smile or retch.

Butcher Box has this. You couldn’t pay me to try it.

I think he means gastronomic ecstasy!

(*imitating Darth Vader) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

SALLY FORTH has yet to deliver her annual tirade against Pumpkin Spice
