Realized about halfway through the strip I probably should have put up a Late Update notice. 😡 Well… Happy Comic Day.
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.

Bwahahaha! 🤣
Oh no, yeah. With no sugar, after presumably not having had a meat flavor profile for however many years? Never had a chance.
I’m sure she will Todd. You have just lost the taste for bacon, poor sop.
How long has he been a vegan? I’ve known some folks who have gone so long that consuming any kind of animal product is likely to make them sick.
I give Todd credit for having an open mind. Wish more Vegans were like him.
Yup. The body will stop producing enzymes to process meat through atrophy.
Does that translate to the taste buds, though? I mean, couldn’t someone lack those enzymes and still find the taste of meat good? Genuine question
I am pescatarian (only animals I eat are fish a couple time a week) so I likely still have the enzymes, but find I will get nauseous consuming beef or pork products. Oddly, I actually still like the taste of them, but poultry? Not so much. I still like eggs, but bird meat is gross.
Interesting, since chicken is normally considered a mild flavor that picks up the flavor of seasonings rather than its own flavor profile (unlike say steak or pork).
I would think that the enzymes for digesting different types of meat could be different. I know that buffalo (aka American bison), is considered easier to digest than beef. I would think that eggs would maintain the poultry enzymes. Marinating stuff can also make a difference (since it can break down components).
I’m vegetarian and have been for over ten years now– and I stopped eating red meat even longer ago. It’s only recently that the smell if some meats cooking– like steak or bacon– has lost its appeal for me. Sometimes it still smells good, but not consistently, and sometimes it even smells unpleasant to me. The smell of poultry cooking got gross quick for me, though.
Can that be regained? Sort of reminds me of conversations about why you can’t immediately give people who were starving a lot of food and have to start with broth and the like. Wonder if it’s a similar thing.
In Japan, there is Tako ice cream. Tako is octopus. Yeah…
Reminds me of a friend who had visit Japan and was told that they were going to have tako for dinner. They heard “taco” and were extremely disappointed.
I cannot speak for bacon ice cream, but Bacon Soda was…. not good.
There is so much bacon flavored stuff out there that shouldn’t exist. Still better than surstromming though.
Do not give up hope! We will save him from the dark gods of vegetarianism. It will take time but time we have.
I mean, he’s got an obligated carnivore for a daughter and is meh, food chain is a fact of life.
And I’m sure temptation to eat the eel that almost killed him is there. Or at least watch the thing be eaten but Pants is safe in a lab being put through language tests.
Any darkside of veganism resentment and rage he had has long since faded.
Kudos to Todd for trying.
Todd, you will loose your vegan powers
