The symbols may be easier than the letters…..

“Open Sesame Seeds”.

Too trendy for me.

“mellon”

“password”

And you need to scan the QR code to read the menu. And then prove you are not a robot.

and then there is the MFA

@littlejohn: Confucius says – Man who thinks he is funny is wong.

“Open Sesame?”

And while he was in the trendy restaurant his car was broken into. Welcome the the San Francisco Bay area.

I once went to a Chinese resturant and got a fortune cookie with 6 numbers on the fortune. Played the Powerball. Not one number came in. Bummer.

“Swordfish”

Velly cleber cartoon people…

Use the password they are using on hospital files.

Our Chinese food came without any cookies…

It was unfortunate.

I found a terrific online course for cooking Chinese food.

It’s called ‘Wok This Way.’

What is a Chinese investor’s favorite food?

Beef mutual fun.

So I was trying to decide if my favorite type of Asian food is Chinese or Japanese…

I decided to call it a Thai.

I went for chinese food the other day, they got my order wrong and forgot my dumplings, but I got extra wontons for free.

You dim sum, you lose some.

My friend Juan is a narcissist. Whenever we order Chinese food…

He orders " Juan" ton soup.

This the second day in a row that all my comment, (and just mine), have been deleted from Shoe. And the strip Wizard of Id. But not elsewhere. This is happening around 7:00 am PST. And since this is only being done on just two strips. I believe I’m be “canceled” by someone (s?), and not GoGomics. So I have re-posted them. (I can be stubborn too you know.)

Please leave the “Cancel-Culture” elsewhere. If you don’t like my comment, please say so. Or just not read them. But other people do seem to like them. I try hard not to offend anyone. And have clean puns. But with free speech, someone is bound to be offended.

And the fortune is encrypted.

And you need an app for the appetizers.

…or scan a QR code!

My last fortune cookie read: “Help! I’m being held prisoner in a Chinese fortune cookie factory!”

And, have to answer “Security Questions” if you order General Tso’s Chicken.

And fortune cookies originated in San Francisco about 100 years ago.

…and after you produce the password, they offer to text a code to your phone.

Usually the that code in in the other side of the message inside the cookie, in other words you’re sc****d !
