[Last Place Comics] Gingerbread Man
(thelemmy.club)
Somebody explain this to me 😅
Some people don't like raisins on their cookies, so by sprinkling raisins on himself, the gingerbread man made himself inedible / safe.
But that arises even more questions like, why does he so angrily want to eat a years old stale gingerbread? And about the raisins, he can simply remove them.
The gingerbread man uses a modified bacta tank to keep himself moist and scrumptious. As a side effect, he's also super absorbent.
He only wants to eat it for the satisfaction after enduring years of ‘can’t catch me’.
As for the raisins, even the slightest essence ruins the cookie.
People who hate raisin cookies REALLY hate raisin cookies. I don’t get the hate myself— raisins are fine. Is it a texture thing?
Incidentally, I think there’s a good chance the story came about because of the way cookies puff up in the oven, sometimes looking a little like breathing. I can see that easily turning into “don’t open the oven too early or it’ll jump up and run away…”
Texture and flavor thing. I like its cousin the craisin on things like salads and trail mix but I'd still prefer my cookies to not have either of them.
Raisins are not fine

- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.
