It’s just… it’s not right.
You forgot the eyeglasses repair kit!
Yes, but when the Zombie apocalypse happens he’ll be able to: remove blood stains, write checks, take the bus, draw comics about daily life while snacking on a cereal bar with adequate hygiene and fresh breath! Huzzah!
Pretty sure he threw the cereal bar, since it was crushed. I bet it would have tasted even better.
I once had an art teacher who spoke in metaphors. He once compared drawing to packing a backpack – that first you need the hard elements, before you add the light fluffy things near the end.
To which I responded by pulling a heartily smashed strawberry-oatmeal bar from the bottom of my backpack. He immediately fell silent, and abandoned the metaphor, spirit defeated.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who accidentally destroys food via backpack. (I opened it out of curiousity, the entire thing had been smeared into an unhealthy shade of mauve.)
Shoot, I’d still eat it.
I do that all the time. I want to be prepared for anything, and because of this I lug around a 6-8 pound bookbag filled with textbooks(that I don’t really need until i’m studying), a computer(which I do actually use), random pens(without tops), pencils, flash drive, hard drive, tissues, wet naps(…), Nutri Grain Bars, and one time a Wendy’s chicken nugget with sweet and sour sause.
So I guess i’m on Roy’s level.
Wendy’s chicken nuggets are awesome. Five delicious nuggets for a dollar? You really can’t beat that. I prefer them with BBQ sauce.
Wendy’s nuggets are adequate, but I am on board with keeping stray fast food for later. i recall a drunk friend pulling an entire hot sub out of a cargo pocket once – he had 100% forgot it was there.
Damn, I’d swear I know the same guy.
holy crap me too
I love this comic.
