Sunday Sweets BRINGS CAKE To The Library!

by Jen

Who's ready to sink your teeth into a good book or two?

Or seven or eight?

 

Assuming you can convince anyone these are edible, of course.

Have you seen the new 3D storybook trend? Because it is SO COOL:

Talk about a tall tale!

 

And "wood" you believe this retirement cake?

Tsk. SO SHELF-ISH.

:D

(I've decided we need more librarian-themed cakes, y'all, because librarians rock and that cake is awesome.)

 

Here's another storybook cake, this time more like a pop-up:

Loooove those illustrations. Seriously. Unlike the cake, I'm melting.

 

Ooh, here's an idea for my fellow bibliophiles:

A book-themed wedding cake!

(Even the teacup and candle are edible! YOWZA.)

 

This next one won gold in a Tolkien-themed tribute contest, and it's easy to see why:

What sorcery is this??

Awe. I AM IN AWE.

Do you think instead of cutting the cake they just handed out books for everyone to eat? Because that would make me indescribably happy.

 

Speaking of sorcery and happiness, we can't celebrate books and the magical places that let us read them for free without a little Potter magic, now can we?

Sha-pow.

 

And one more, which isn't technically a book because it's a journal, but I think you'll forgive me:

Because oooooh. [grabby hands]

Slytherins never follow the rules anyway, right?

 

And finally, let's end with the sweetest lil' library cake you ever will see:

D'awwww.

 

Now, who wants to go to the library? Remember to thank a librarian while you're there!

Happy Sunday, everyone! Hope it's Sweet!

P.S. Hey fellow book lovers, I just found what may be the prettiest bookmark EVER, check this out:

Metal Feather Charm Bookmark

It's like jewelry for your book! You can choose from gold or silver - or get both: one for you, one for a friend. Or both for you. I won't judge. :D

Leasing Agent Learns About Lease The Hard Way

The best part about this shady leasing agent is they thought they'd go ahead and get away with some unadulterated BS, without the tenant actually reading the finer details of said lease. Well, they certainly got humbled and learned their lesson in the end. Check out some more juicy housing drama with this landlord who encouraged their tenant to research their rights, and ended up losing the battle as a result.

Boss Tells Employees They're Slacking, Petty Revenge Ensues

Not all bosses are great. In fact, some can be complete waking nightmares. Whether you find yourself under the incompetent wing of a maniacal boss who never should've been put in their position of power in the first place, or perhaps fielding an array of toxic instances from a boss who misplaced their moral compass, you'll probably suffer through a gig with a nasty boss at one point or another in your life. In this story, these employees decided to take a glorious, petty revenge on a boss that accused them of slacking. Suffice to say, it seems to have been successful.

An Unhealthy Indulgence of Fast Food Nostalgia

Most people who grew up in the 80s and 90s remember the peculiar angular pastel interior of a fast food place, the lawlessness of a McDonald's play place, the absolute need to get a specific happy meal toy, and the peculiar flavor of Hi-C orange drink. What a weird time. If this gets your nostalgia motot running, here's some 90s nostalgia from simpler times.

Yes, Bakers Are Still Making Disgusting Baby Shower Cakes

by Jen

Warning: Graphic cakes of a medical nature to follow. Hide the kids, and hold on to your appetites!

Additional Helpful Warning from john (the hubby of Jen): There's lady bits ahead.

 

Remember when all we had to worry about on baby shower cakes was the occasional creepy doll or demonic ultrasound photo?

Next were the boob and belly cakes, because apparently moms-to-be harbor sado-cannabalistic tendencies:

kaseyval.lw.pregnantbellywithfoot.jpg

Then they added those Alien-inspired belly-burster baby feet - which is SUPER fun to say three times fast. (Go on, try it. You know you want to.)

 

Soon even celebs like Christina Aguilera were getting in on the gross-out-your-guests act:

SandyRos-FB-christinaaguillara.jpg

 

So how do you top edible naked moms giving birth?
Why, make the cake wet plastic shiny and embed a bunch of CLEAR GELATIN, of course.

LindaGer.lw.bellycake.jpg

Mmm, that's the stuff.

 

Or you could go for classic realism:

DarrenWal-FB-babycake.jpg

Sure, everyone will 'ooh' and 'ahhh' - until the carving knife comes out.
("No, no, YOU serve." "No, you!" "Maybe we'll just have ice cream.")

(If you need more nightmares, just look at this baby cake being sliced.)

 

But for maximum hurkin'-in-the-gherkins, there's really no beating the spread leg, peek-a-boo head:

devonhal.lw.birthing.jpg

With extra jam filling.

 

 

Hang on, it's missing something. No, not feet. Or a torso. Or common decency.

PUBIC HAIR!

Lynds28terbergg29-TW-babyshoweratwork.jpg

Ah, so much better.

 

But really, aren't those legs kind of, I dunno, unnecessary?

I mean, let's get back to basics, people:

maggie28sweetie_260929.ow.birthing.jpg

All a good dessert needs is stretched vagina lips, and a crowning fetus head. Am I right, or am I right?

 

 

Thanks to Kasey V., Sandy R., Linda G., Darren W., Devon H., Lynds, & Maggie for understanding that there was really no good way to censor those last three, short of blacking out the whole photo. Which would be preferable, but less educational.

Hmm, I wonder if "uncomfortably realistic baby shower cake" is on this list?

Well, I took a lot of breaks and pushed a lot of fluids, and somehow was well enough today to get back on top of things. Finished today’s strip as well as finished Monday and Tuesday’s (you’ll find the last two day’s posts updated).
 .
Fortunately, I wrote and laid this week’s strips out BEFORE I got sick, so they are theoretically coherent. And funny. Fingers crossed.

by luke

Ain’t no party like a People of Walmart party cause a People of Walmart party only costs about $13 to throw.

Jon Stewart Emerged from Beneath Stephen Colbert's Desk to Give Some Advice to the Media

It's been a rough, I don't know, eternity since that reality-TV gameshow host became president. And in that time, we've seen an uptick in hatecrimes, a bunch of unanswered questions about Russia, and a president who thinks "fake news" means "I disagree." 

That's why, last night, on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Jon Stewart emerged from his home beneath Colbert's desk to deliver a message to the media on how to deal with all this: Do your jobs. 

It's good to have the old boy back.
