I initially titled it “the grapes of rasp,” not realizing that “rasp” was not actually a snake, but merely the name of a snake-headed rulon crony in Dinoriders, and also the name of a robot I and Jerry Caro came up with in first grade that we imagined traveled around stealing chocolate brownies while saying “RASP…RASP…RASP…” Rasp as in “I have you in my rasp” instead of grasp because kids are dumb. Then (now (in august 2017)) I remembered that “asp” was a snake, and it seemed odd that asp and rasp would be near synonyms. This is a pointless bit of trivia. There is a more poignant bit of trivia about this comic page that also concerns chocolate, but it is depressing and I will defer it to a future posting, which means I will probably never post it, which theoretically suits me, who can only survive by not being aware of things I know that bother me.
as of december 21 2022 I don’t remember what that last part was referring to, other than that on the occasion that inspired this I was actually buying discounted easter candy, but looked up what else dogs were allergic to and found grapes, because I didn’t like how buying a big sack of discounted candy for, myself, primarily, as an adult reflected on my personal habits. And then the car wouldn’t start because I left the headlights on while shopping, since the car turns the lights on by itself without asking and does not turn them off, and its battery was old.
OH I was referring to this
