Kid was right. That tomato didn't rot. Something was up with it

Þe kid clearly needs chemical treatment if he rotted quicker þan þe tomato
- Haha, what a delight, my first wild spotting of the thorn (þ) character! I watched a YouTube video by a language nerd who'd love to see it resurrected :)

Eating tomatoes with just feta cheese and olives is something else.

Edit: I ment as they are, not a salad! From where I come(wink wink check profile), we do it a lot.

I know taste is subjective, but as far as I'm concerned, those are three gigantic nopes. 😝
I wonder how many people dislike the same groups of things?
- Okay let's test it: Do you like licorice? I hate it, but the comment you replied to was talking about bliss
Or just decent heirloom tomatoes, not the mealy garbage spread across half of the grocery. There are so many varieties with an abundance of unique flavors, and all relatively easy to grow yourself. Heirloom roma tomatoes are hearty, delicious, and culinarily versatile, so they’ve been my pick for ages. Haven’t lucked into an unpleasant variety yet!
- I'm always sad when tomatoes season ends. IMO tomatoes are the singular item with the biggest difference between grocery store and local heirloom ones. It's like night and day.
- I didn't know heirlooms would be just as easy to grow. I might give it a go... I love their taste, unfortunately the price is a bit on the ridiculous sometimes.
Even with only lime juice and salt, they are like crack to me.
- Or buffalo mozarella and balsamico
- Plot twist. The local farmers market dealer is also a crack dealer. The tomatoes have a light layer of crack on them.
Yuck! I hate olives. ;)
- Black or green?
I like a nice salad of tomatoes and cucumbers with french dressing and a little pepper. Some feta would make it even better!
It's a completely reasonable snack! Lol
Aaaaaa I have very specific use cases for feta, but no thank you by itself. Or in most things.
Tomatoes or olives alone… I’m with ya 100%.

xD

It's such a strange concept. "Here kid, eat this food you hate or I'm going to starve you!" You wouldn't do this to an adult, and we'd all hate to be in the position of having food we hate force on us. So why do we do it to our kids? Sure, maybe we need them to eat something other than hot dogs and candy; but, we can do better than just, "this is why I bought so you will eat it!"

I think it'd be more fun if in the last frame the tomato had flourished into a healthy tomato plant.

I thought determination was supposed to be a good trait!

“Stripped of all flesh, your bones bleach in the sun. It fills you with determination.”
- Stripped of all flesh? Could I keep at least a little of the flesh? Cuz the flesh is what makes the bones worth having.

Tomatoes are ingredients, not food. :)

Yeah fuck tomatoes

I've always struggled to like raw tomatoes. They are warm and pungent, like opening a garbage receptical in the summer heat.

Grape or cherry tomatoes washed and wrapped in fresh baby spinach. Perfect healthy snacking!

i thought they were siblings? this comic is playing very fast and loose with its characters...

What indicates that they're not here?
- just got the vibe that she's his mom in this one
