Well he can’t call it edible

HA! clever

Gelatin has no food value. It’s made from horns and hooves. But shredded wheat is not ground up horse tails. My big brother lied….

Back in the ’60’s, Jell-O actually came out with vegetable-flavored gelatins for salads. Not surprising that it didn’t last!

Next — she serves him “Broken Glass Cake” (Cake covered with small cubes of Jell-O and whipped cream) … but with real glass.

I remember seeing some of these Jello concoctions at parties and family gatherings. Never felt the need to eat any. Many looked as if the contents had been eaten already and just recycled.

Jello shots are good. (spiked jello)

After the jello salad, she serves him the entrée: “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic”, a favorite of us old King Crimson fans. (Aspic is a jelly made from meat broth.)

Loretta. You want Leroy to call your Jell-O salad what it really is?

Why? It’s the best pun this strip has had in a while.

It’s alive!!!!!!!!!!!

People still do Jell-o salads?

I know she’s a bad cook, but mess up jell-o?

Im from Utah, can’t have a gathering without green jello!

The way you cook Loretta jello could be a concealed weapon
