Don’t you need graham crackers and chocolate also to make smores?

Dragonbreath-flavored burnt marshmallows. Oh, yum.

Snores s’mores.

Good thing Henry left his pilot light on !

Maybe Snore’s!

S’mores? An American reference, I assume.

No.

I wonder what happens when Henry snores? And what happens to the marshmallow and the marshmallow-cooker when he does snore?

Life is s’more fun with chocolate and marshmallows.

Life is better with s’mores by the Dragon?

Let’s gather around the fire and s’more it up!

S’nores

This reminded me of two animated cartoons from the late 1950s. In the 1957 Oscar-nominated cartoon One Droopy Knight, Droopy and Butch have to fight a dragon. Butch fails to beat it but Droopy befriends it and ends up roasting something on the dragon’s breath. That was from the Fred Quimby animation studios shortly before it closed down and Hanna-Barbera began making cartoons for TV. One of their early cartoons for TV would be The Huckleberry Hound Show. One cartoon had Huckleberry trying to fight a dragon but losing. In the end, Huckleberry says, “I guess I’ll just have to go back and marry the king’s daughter!” The dragon says, “The king’s daughter! Not that old dragon! I wouldn’t let that happen to my worst enemy. You can stay with me.” The last scene had Huckleberry staying with the dragon and using the dragon’s breath to barbecue food for them both.

Dino snores! With apologies to the Natural History Museum, London…..

S’more is a contraction of the phrase “some more”. A S’more recipe appeared in a Campfire Marshmallows cookbook in the early 1920s, where it was called a “Graham Cracker Sandwich”. A 1956 recipe uses the name “S’Mores”, and lists the ingredients as “a sandwich of two graham crackers, toasted marshmallow, and ½ chocolate bar”.

No reference to Henry the dragon anywhere?

More S’mores? Why not!

Where’s the graham crackers and Hershey bars?

Yooo

oh boy, I’ll join. :g

Fire pit will be next!

I’d love a s’more. I love me some Hershey bars.

dragon breath anyone?

The Wiz sure knows to live!

American, s’more or less

Well, the good news is that you have a nice space heater for the winter, and if you lose power, you can still cook.

Yes, please!

I had my first S’more at Girl Scout Camp. They were good made properly around a campfire.

If the tools are available, it’s a shame not to use them.

Couldn’t he make smores using his wand? Perfect smore every time.

This is how people who have acid reflux feel when they sleep.

He doesn’t need to worry about drying wood out. Jealous.

I like pets that do something for their owners

Smores off a dragon snores has got to be an experience worth having. Let’s do it! …where?

But why is Henry so small in today’s strip? The joke would’ve been the same if everything was drawn to scale.

S’mores are amazing with the toasted coconut marshmallows my wife gets.

Hope you make one for Henry …… since he “IS” providing the fire ….. :)

I guess Henry doesn’t sleep under their bed.

There is alway one a s s h o l e commenter bringing up political on a non-political comic, and we got one today…(reply to Jonathan Mason)

Yes, please! Love ’smores!!

Count me in!

Count me in!
