It is certainly true that Chester Gould had comedy breaks in his strip, although usually they were between stories. Of course, our gang at the MCU doesn’t know about the current criminal plot yet. But we have been seeing not one, but two crimes brewing and I had hoped that today would move the story along somehow. They will probably break tomorrow for 9-11; maybe that’s why they used up a whole Sunday strip with filler material.
It is good to see the MCU team having a joke together, although I must admit, I don’t get the connection between the spoiled cheese and Sam’s “Inquisition” remark.
Please don’t quote me, but, I am pretty sure it is from a Monty Python Gag! It has been a long time since I have seen this gag, but I really think it was Monty Python.
It is just a simple joke for Sam changing Shredded Cheese to Dreaded Cheese and the whole gang jumps in on the joke and turns it on Sam. This one is not a thinker but a light hearted play on words. Go with the flow and smile!
, personally, would have rather started today checking up on the Nitrates (anyone remember them?) than this cornball waste of space. Here, some serious stuff is afoot on two fronts, and the cops are yukking it up in the squad room.

Once there was a savory cheese, a taste sensation fêted
Growth of mold on cheese too old, a science project dreaded.
Over time it turned to slime, now spoiled, rank and fetid.
None dare to discard the mess they’ve aided and abetted.
Please think twice. It is not nice to abandon cheese thus shredded
Far past mere stink. I saw it wink. This creature should be netted.
An office mascot infamous. When on its leash it’s petted
One of a kind. Its third eye blind. To the Creature Con it jetted.

If there’s a joke here, I really don’t get it.

Children at play
No matter the age
Always fun to see
Although I do think
There’d be a big stink
if Sam had suddenly cut the cheese
Hopefully for us
This MCU fuss
Will only last for a day
If tomorrow they’re still
Accomplishing nil
This diversion would be a mistake

OK, I don’t get it, either. Unless it’s a sidelong hat tip to Monty Python and “No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!”
I’ll check back tomorrow for enlightenment.

Never expected this strip to present anything cheesy! Couldn’t resist.

Today’s strip reminds me of the time Tracy grew a moustache and the whole squad room held him down and shaved it off.

A “Sunday stand-alone” for the Tracy cast and corny characters: the humor is cheesy and dreaded; it should be shredded!
I think I may need a little sip of something to go along with that!
