I don’t blame him!

Fun fact: Tomatoes were domesticated in the western hemisphere and brought to Europe by Spanish explorers in the 1500s. Assuming the strip takes place in Medieval Europe, they probably shouldn’t have tomatoes yet. But then, this strip is loaded with anachronisms.

Turnabout is fair play, even for the fink.

Eggs were too expensive, even for him.

Check out today’s Thatababy for a different take on farmer’s markets.

Did his Finkness ever have it to begin with?

You Say Tomato, I say Tossmat-ow!

What did the tomato say to the wheat?

You go pasta, I’ll ketch-up.

What did the tomato blush?

It saw salad dressing.

What happened to the boy who got tomato sauce in his eyes?

Dunno. But he probably learnt his lesson because Heinz sight is 20/20!

A cabbage, a tomato, and a nose were having a race.

The cabbage was ahead, the nose was running, and the tomato was trying to ketchup.

It’s your Majesty, not your Highness.

Really? I’d never noticed.

Um Fink, you’re tossing them fresh, farmer’s market tomatoes. They toss you rotten tomatoes, like the rotten little runt you are!

Revenge of The Fink!

And the villagers went home and had a nice salad.

It’s over, Id! I have the high ground!

You underestimate my catapult.

All is fair in love and tomatoes!!!!

Better tomatoes than the gallows

Attack of the Kinger’s Tomatoes

LOL!!!!

Nice twist, I thought he was going to say something about removing peasants ammo before his speech.

Is the Fink throwing them at his unruly subjects or the Huns?

Rodney gets to practice his wheelbarrow skills today.

I thought he was just going to buy up all the missiles before his next speech.

Wow! This is the first time the King actually helped the economy!

Tomatoes are fruits that are considered vegetables by nutritionists. Botanically, a fruit is a ripened flower ovary and contains seeds.
