And the little girl is eating the flower arrangement?
This is a very strange cartoon.
It looks like the man doing the hugging is wearing an apron. So everyone else is hugging him to thank him for the included antibiotics?
You should only take antibiotics if you have an infection, so we can assume that everyone there is crawling with communicable diseases. Also, all the diseases are adapting to these random low doses of antibiotics by developing resistances.
This pestilential hellhole needs to be nuked from orbit.
My guess is that the hugging and the flowers are about Mother’s Day.
why does her right arm pass through the blue jacket?
“This pestilential hellhole needs to be nuked from orbit.”
Pretty much my attitude toward all episodes of CLOSE TO HOME, not just this one.
(Maybe their meats have gotten moldy, and the restaurant is trying to pass that off as a feature, not a glitch?)
I thought US meat was chock full of antibiotics anyway as standard (with bad implications for disease resistance). This restaurant is just putting a positive marketing spin on it, as if this was an extra good thing it was doing for its customers when in fact it has done nothing.
Also China. And no doubt elsewhere. Here is one article on the US situation from a Euro perspective… “The difference in rates of dosage rises to at least nine times as much in the case of cattle raised for beef, and may be as high as 16 times the rate of dosage per cow in the UK. There is currently a ban on imports of American beef throughout Europe, owing mainly to the free use of growth hormones in the US.”
Apparently antibiotics cause one’s hands to mutate into horrible claw-like appendages.
I was about to say what narmitaj said at #8.
I agree with Shrug’s assessment of Downpuppy’s comment. Analyzing the sloppy artwork and nonsensical humor is simply a waste of time.
I have Close To Home in my daily feed. I find enough winners to
make it worthwhile. There are cases, though, as we’ve seen at
CIDU, where the poor artwork conceals the intended joke.
(Though that’s not the case here.) I can understand why some
people might look at the ugly people that inhabit McPherson’s
world and be turned off.
His fingers look like rutabagas.
I jave several Close to Home books. When he’s good, I think he’s really good.
OK I saw something different. I saw the “fat fingers” as damaged or cut up by the cook/ butcher. I thought it meant the “added antibiotics” were the ones the injured cook was taking and bleeding into the food.
Like how politicians “spin” a problem. “it’s ok! let’s just say we are adding something healthy to the food!”
So. Gross.
The opposite of selling organic meat, which cannot contain antibiotics.
