Brandon never learned to cook for himself, but at least he doesn’t pretend to know how to cook either. Dewey on the other hand… He’s been operating under the delusion that he had some kind of natural talent in the kitchen. Chef Demerde might just be the teacher that Dewey needs to overcome his culinary catastrophes, but some unsettling realities about Dewey’s cooking may emerge.
So to recap, Birdie is sick of Dewey’s cooking, and has hired Chef Jimmy Demerde to train him. Will Jimmy be able to overcome Dewey’s delusions of adequacy long enough to get him to stop ruining food?
So Jimmy is a new character, and he’s French. I’m not gonna lie to you… I don’t actually know any French, so let’s hope that Google Translate doesn’t make me look too stupid.
Oh, and Happy Halloween!
So it’s been a long running gag that Dewey has a bad case of Dunning-Kruger with regards to his culinary ability. Since Birdie has a lot of what it takes to get along, perhaps there’s a way to change that.
This comic was quite an exercise. I wanted to see if I could get my entire cast of soldiers in a single comic. I even got the arm patches right this time. For those who don’t know, they are wearing the CAPOC patch. This is the patch worn by soldiers in Civil Affairs and PSYOP. I went with it because that was the unit patch I used to wear. You wouldn’t believe how much work went into this strip, but it was actually kind of fun.
So Toni is back after all these years. Toni and Tyler separated before Tyler joined the Army. For those of you who are tracking, I’ve gone and added the rank back onto the uniforms. I’m also going to put the flag patch back. (ed. note: I just realized I got it backwards in the comic. The flag is supposed to go on the right arm. Ironic since I’m always annoyed at seeing the glaring mistakes in TV and Movie uniform portrayals.)
Actually my Laptop dual boots into both Linux and Windows 7. I’m working a lot of overtime this week, but I’ll try to install the upgrade on the 29th. If it doesn’t work out, I can always reinstall Windows 7… Or just reformat the whole thing and do a fresh install of Linux. The nice thing about being a Linux user is that you’re never more than 20 minutes away from a fresh new system.
Just about every summer my unit would have a family picnic day. Soldiers generally brought a covered dish, their spouses (or SO’s), children, siblings, parents , and some even brought civilian friends. Uniforms were proscribed, but once I had to don my ACU’s because I was the designated driver for giving HMMWV (Humvee) rides. The kids loved it.
It’s been a while since my last comic, so I’m a little rusty. Today’s comic is the result of me tinkering around on the new computer. I was setting things up and decided to try creating a comic. I think this new computer will do fine.
BTW: There’s another comic in the queue for next Saturday if you’re interested.
Brandon met Clif when he first got hired at the office. They quickly became friends, but Clif has always had a bit of a crush on Brandon. Now it seems that Clif is over Brandon and has found a new Prince Charming.
