How dare joice not like Remoulade
*Joyce even. I and Y aren’t even on the same finger for typing, how did i mess this up?
It’s always autocorrect’s fault. Whether there is an autocorrect or not.
Fukin’ autocorrect.
Damn that autocorrect. Damn it straight to he’ll.
Ducking autoconnect.
Remoulade? Sounds awfully fancy. Can she dip a chicken tender into it?
Yes.
Not real remoulade, but you can get pretty close with the right ratio of mayo and ketchup.
Mum used to make an excellent sauce for shrimp salad out of mayo and ketchup (about 2:1 or so), with a dash of lemon juice concentrate and a dab of seafood cocktail sauce mixed in. Very tasty.
And that recipe, via fish sticks, is how I ended up mixing ketchup and mayo for my fries. XD
In Louisiana, remoulade is as populist as it gets. In the rest of the US, what is wrong with you that aren’t you adding ketchup, mustard, paprika, and horseradish to your otherwise boring tartar sauce?
The horseradish is a must. Although I still love Frisch’s tartar sauce. They use dill pickles instead of sweet. That’s what I grew up on, and all other tartar sauce tastes weird.
I can definitely get on board with mustard, paprika, and horseradish. But there is no way you’ll get me to add ketchup! I refuse to use ketchup as a condiment. If it is an ingredient in a specific recipe, I do use it, but that’s the ONLY time I use ketchup. To me, ketchup is what you get if you butcher a perfectly good fruit! Ketchup is not deserving enough to go on my food.
She could, but that would be mixing foods.
Remoulade doesn’t have much in the way of ketchup, tho. Salsa golf is a better match, and if any of you want it gone YOU’LL HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT OF MY DEAD, COLD FINGERS.
In Utah, they call that “fry sauce,” although I think they’re more inclined to Miracle Whip (shudder).
Imagine my surprise when I visited Utah for a few days and everyone was asking me if I wanted fry sauce.
I only needed to say “Yes” once to know that I would forever say “no” to it.
I support this rule and our new leader Joyce.
NOW JOYCE IS THE LAW ‘ROUND HERE!
The cult of Joyce. Followers are Joycians.
Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairwell…
Joycians are only the orthodox followers.
Reformists are known as ReJoycians.
JOYCE FOR RA
I hope Joyce’s god has no opinion on dijon and mayo mixed
He has an opinion on the mixing of linen and wool. What doesn’t He have an opinion on?
Okay, what about (checks Bible) my mustard seeds and my mayonnaise seeds? Can I sow them in the same field or is that forbidden?
I spent my teen years in a place where wild mustard grew in vacant fields. Those fields are now covered by strip malls, and I get wistful when I visit my old haunts and remember the fields of wild mustard that used to grow there.
But I never saw fields of wild mayonnaise. Tell me more about these mayonnaise seeds. Can you get them from the Burpee seed catalog? Are heirloom mayonnaise seeds available? What hardiness zone do they prefer? Are they difficult to germinate, or can you just sew them in an open field?
There are things man is not meant to know. Fortunately Joyce is a woman.
Mayo is made from eggs. Eggs are pareve so you can eat them with either meat OR dairy. Mustard is also Pareve. I’d say your fine.
God doesn’t like it when you wear clothing made from two different materials nor does he like it when you cook a kid in its own mother’s milk.
As for mayonnaise, the condiment of the Patriarchy, I think it’s foul tasting.
It’s eggs. And oil. Eggs are tasty. Oil is tasty. Mix them together and they’re still tasty; it just depends on what you flavor the combo with.
I like chocolate and I like croissants but I hate them together.
Well you’re also wrong about that.

yeah, about that

How did Willis predict that Heinz would announce its newest condiment mixing monstrosity yesterday when he wrote this strip so many months ago?
God created condiments separately! Kranch should never have been born!
(this isn’t my doctrine, just Joyce’s)
It’s how people make “fry sauce.”
Well it’s also the “special sauce” on a Big Mac. My days of working the fryer at Mickey D’s were very disillusioning.
I see two factions breaking out in the Kraft-Heinz kitchens: those who think they need to destroy the hell they’ve created, and those who see it as their ticket to take over the condiment aisle.
This product also split the graphic design department in two. One side says the letters should be evenly colored red and blue for symmetry, the other says only the K should be red because it’s the only letter taken from the word “ketchup”.
Also they should have called it “Ranchup”.
Thank you for being the only person with an appropriate response to my nonsense.
God had nothing to do with either of those.
Ranch and Ketchup are delicious!
Aha, there’s those Mayochup bottles!
Ugh. I can’t speak to the flavor, but I will swear that they picked the least appealing color to make the bottles.
Transparent?
*Squints at picture* Oh! Huh, yeah. I just assumed the bottles were colored like that, I guess.
“Good, bad, I’m the girl with the jacket.”
I’m a rebel
Not the original, but the best.
I am 100% on board with this law.
And yeah, Joyce, come on, you already know having a leather jacket means you don’t have to listen to rules.
The ketchup and mayonnaise rule? Eh….. maybe only the end-consumer mixes them and no purchased food has them premixed? I mean I’d much prefer not to have them mixed on food I buy, but I wouldn’t want to outlaw people doing it to their own food.
As for the leather jacket rule? ABSOLUTELY NOT. The resulting market shift in the apparel industry alone would lead to pure anarchy on multiple fronts.
I am on board with the ketchup/mayonnaise law. I’d prefer both be banned outright, because GROSS, but eh. Not my law.
As for leather jackets – look, borrowing sweet teal jackets from our badass friends is NO basis for a system of government.
What if it’s a storm trouper jacket able to channel the violence inherent in the system?
Depends on the system you’re picking.
Okay, who on this board lives in the part of the USA where Duke’s mayo is a thing? Can you tell me if I’m missing out?
I live in Florida and I have compared Duke’s to Hellman’s, side by side. Duke’s may be slightly better, but only very slightly. Not worth troubling over.
Using my Ethan avatar to say–no, Ethan, she is not onto something here, ketchup + mayo is one of the only good kinds of foods-touching there is. 🙂
She dislike Samurai sauce uh
*notices that somebody interrupted the hacked Muzak with the Ketchup jingle from A Prairie Home Companion*
Also, Jacob is literally too good for this world
Right?
I’ll be honest, I also immediately cringed at the thought of mayo and ketchup together but then I remembered that some burgers I get have that so I dunno how I should feel.
I’m not really familiar with it myself, but I know that chipotle mayo is frigging awesome 🙂 …but that’s more just that chipotles are awesome, and mayo reduces the spiciness so I can eat more 🙂
It’s quite often the “secret sauce” places will use (that, or thousand island dressing) on burgers.
I’ve never been a fan of mayo, but with enough other things to cover the flavor, I can work with it (but as a dipping sauce (like the aforementioned ketchup/mayo) no thank you)
Mayo is used in a lot of things people don’t realize its in. Honey Mustard dipping sauce? That shit’s like half mayo. I think mayo is best for creating other things. Though I do like it by itself on a few things (egg sandwiches for instance).
If I didn’t know that Jacob is canon Episcopalian, I would think that he might be Unitarian Universalist.
I was raised as a UU, and between panel 1 and panel 3, Jacob does a better job of explaining UU belief than I ever could.
Don’t forget Panel 5, that’s an important one too.
Yep! I kicked myself for omitting panel 5.
How does Joyce feel about Dijonnaise?
The Devil’s Sauce
Dijon mustard mixed with horseradish is the best.
What’s Joyce’s stance on mustard on fries?
Fine, as long as they aren’t touching.
How about vinegar?
It has to be malt vinegar. When I am visiting my mother in Arizona, I bring my own vinegar packets to 5 guys for my fries. I can tell the Americans from the Canadians by the looks I get.
I’m sorry but I will fight anyone on this. Mayochup (or fry sauce) is amazing. Joyce is objectively wrong on all fronts.
(PS its best if homemade and has garlic and pepper spices in it)
Oooohh, I know what I’m making this weekend.
Here’s my sort-of recipe. I think it changes every time I make it.
Approximately equal parts mayo and ketchup. Try for organic, not to be a hipster but because it tastes less chemically to me than non-organic. Then, in order of largest amount (maybe 1-1/2 tsp? down to a pinch) to smallest: garlic powder, cumin, (paprika and oregano in equalish amounts), salt, onion powder, black pepper.
If you like it kinda spicey, add in some cayenne pepper and chili flakes or powder.
I almost never make it the same way twice. If I’m missing something, I’ll just put in more of something else. A friend once put in lime juice and that was pretty snazzy too.
Original recipe from my friend in Puerto Rico. Pretty much anything fried goes well with it. I like to make taquitos and then dip them in it. Nomnomnom. Time for lunch.
ah fuck that does sound pretty good, i may have to make some of that but without the ketchup (because yes that part is still awful)
If you make it without ketchup (I commented my recipe above) then add in a little lemon or lime juice to make it more saucey. Unless you want to put that on a sandwich, then you could leave it thicker.
Mayo is the worst thing ever and whenever I see those “millenials are killing the mayo industry” articles I cheer.
The only reason I’m killing the mayonnaise industry is because I’m making five different kinds at home.
Yes! I love homemade mayo <3
There may be some I would miss, but I feel like a lot of the “millennials are killing” things were bad to begin with. Like, RIP, golf. Guess we’ll have to use parks for something not boring and expensive and environmentally costly, oh no.
I like golf, but there have to be ways to make it A) More environmentally friendly and B) Cheaper. I dunno, more natural courses maybe. Or indoor courses, those are always fun.
The way I know to do both A and B is mini golf.
I’d play golf if I could rent a set of clubs to play a round, but short of borrowing from someone or building an abomination of a cheap set from Goodwill, is there a cheap way to get started?
The golf courses around here let you use clubs to play, no buying necessary.
Apparently millennials have killed everything at one point or another. The housing market, jobs, sports, boobs, fast food, coffee, etc.
Everything except avocados, apparently :p
😀
Just killing the planet with those… (That doesn’t apply to the US, I guess. But they are so much imported to the EU…)
Home-owning, job-having, boob-loving, coffee-addicted Millennial here. I’ve always felt more like a Gen X-er who missed the bus, though. (And I hate avocados.)
Most of the “hurr durr Millennials” stuff coming out of Boomer media seems to apply more to second-wave Millennials and “Gen Z” (or whatever they decide to call kids too young to remember where they were on 9/11). It’s like they forget the oldest Millennials are around 40.
It’s just the latest version of “kids these days”.
My favorite versions of “kids these days” are the super old ones, because then you can see how truly absurd these moral panics are.
“Newspapers have destroyed face to face communication! penny novels are a gateway to playing pool and then theft! Chess is corrupting our children!”
(Those are all real moral panics I recall reading about, they are hilarious)
I edited the memoirs of a relative who was born in 1859 and the first chapter was literally “kids these days”. They don’t have to muck out a barn before riding their pony anymore. His father ran a livery stable, but his step-son flew airplanes.
We have versions of kids these days from ancient rome at least – complaining how teenagers are loud and don’t listen to their elders anymore.
How did millennials kill boobs?
Mayo is the only condiment I can stand because I’m a extremely picky eater. Your joy is my despair.
fortunately: aioli! same thing, more expensive. ok, sorta fortunately.
Mayo deserved it.
So, she wouldn’t like the fry sauce from Freddy’s then.
What about mayonnaise and catsup? Can we mix those?
Joyce, you shut your mouth, Baconators are ketchup and mayonnaise and I will fight you to the death over them.
mix mayo with chipotle and a little lime juice!
Yes! That’s my favourite cocktail sauce.
…Does anyone else here wonder if Joyce has autism?
Having food issues does not necessarily mean you are autistic. And while it’s certainly true that she has no concept of personal boundaries, comparing her to Becky suggests that the two of them were just never taught USA-normative boundaries rather than that it’s innate.
I rather suspected Dina of that.
She definitely has sensory…I was going to say “issues,” but that kind of implies that there’s something wrong with her, and as long as she’s not causing harm to herself or anyone else, there’s nothing wrong with her liking what she likes, and disliking what she dislikes.
And having specific food dislikes doesn’t necessarily put someone into any particular quadrant of the DSM-V, let alone any particular section of it. At best, that may be part of the differential diagnosis, should diagnosis become a thing to be explored.
I would say she is harming herself, given her anxiety and self-esteem issues that she’s displayed with regards to her eating habits.
She’s eating everything on her plate. She’s just eating it in tranches, rather than mixed together.
If she were consistently eating some things, and not eating other things, that might be a cause for concern with regard to nutrient deficiency. But if she just prefers to eat her pizza with sausage on the side instead of on the pizza, I don’t see the problem.
Which is not to say she doesn’t have self-esteem issues. But I don’t see how the fact that she eats food differently from other people is a symptom of that, and I also don’t see how other people making her self-conscious of the fact that she eats food differently from them is going to improve her self-esteem.
The irrational revulsion to everyday situations is an issue in and of itself. She clearly does not just want or prefer to have her food a certain way; she’s experiencing compulsions that make her feel disgusted in everyday situations, and has been actively fighting to ignore those compulsions.
She also clearly has a heap of anxiety about how others perceive her eating habits. Part of why she’s forced herself to branch out around Jacob is because she doesn’t want him to think she’s weird.
Fairly put. I may be misreading a situation for which I have no real-world experience, and the compulsion aspect is something I hadn’t considered.
“If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism”. as the expression goes. The spectrum is a wide one. I could see her being on it, but it’s difficult to tell.
Especially since Willis has said a lot of these discussions are ones he’s wondered about himself and are Joyce being autobiographical. Question for the ages.
Dan Shive just said that, like, a few days ago: that people tend to ask whether his characters are autistic when they do something autobiographical. Are you sure Willis said it too?
Not about autobiographical character moments being perceived as autistic, but Willis has said Joyce’s journey to some extent is intended as autobiographical, I would source but I don’t know where to look and am still waking up
Willis has definitely also talked about that exact thing happening to him, though it was long enough ago that when I first found the tumblr posts they were already ancient. Right now I can only find this one post about Dina, but I’m pretty sure he talked about it more at other points. Also I don’t often link tumblr posts so apologies in advance if I link it wrong!
Anyway the takeaway from this happening multiple times is that webcomics are clearly a portal into the creator’s innermost psyche! Freaky.
She likely has OCD to an extent, and she was definitely a sheltered child, but I don’t think Joyce is Autistic.
Like others said, Dina likely has a mild Autism-spectrum disorder, probably what had been defined for decades as Asperger Syndrome. She has the characteristic encyclopedic knowledge of a specific subject (dinosaurs in her case) and obliviousness to nonverbal social cues.
Of course only a mental health expert can diagnose a real person, and only Willis can diagnose his characters definitively, but that’s what I see from my perspective.
oh my gosh YES. She displays a lot of overlooked female autism symptoms and I feel so seen in her. Having her, along with Dina, display such different sides of it but be in the same canon makes me so happy. Even if it’s not actually canon.
What the HELL?
Ketchup and mayonnaise? Who would do such a thing?
MCDonald’s and their Secret Sauce would >:(
McDonald’s secret sauce is thousand island dressing.
You know what the base of thousand island dressing is, right?
It’s pretty common in in American restaurants that serve Belgian/Canadian-style fries, which usually have flavored mayo as a dipping sauce.
I don’t blame people who have never heard of it for being repulsed, because yeah, it sounds gross, but there’s a point of don’t knock-it-till-you-try-it here. Plus. there’s brand issues. I hated mayo until I spent some time in the Netherlands and now I’m super into it, but I’d NEVER buy mayo from a supermarket–still seems gross to me.
Heinz. Yes, I actually saw this on the shelf when I was shopping for catsup the other day. Didn’t even sound like a good idea to me, but to each their own.
Um…this is pretty much common in any part of the world where ketchup and mayonnaise both exist? Condimentally speaking, ketchup and mayonnaise serve different functions: ketchup is mostly savory, mayonnaise is mostly fatty/mouth-feel.
It’s a fairly common thing in Germany. You can get “Fries red-white” from any food stall that sells fries. It usually looks something like https://i.imgur.com/ZLusgex.jpg
I do, all the time, tastes great.
I agree that pure mayonnaise is disgusting. However. Joyce has clearly never eaten tostones. For they are quite tasty with mayoketchup.
I have eaten tostones many times and never knew that was a thing
Fry sauce is in fact the Devil, yes.
I am SO SURE that she hasn’t had a wendy’s baconator to hold this opinion.
I knew I liked you more than for just your art.
The Baconator is great… when you order it without the vomit-inducing mayonnaise.
Stop ordering your sandwiches with fucking ipecac mayo, and you wouldn’t have that problem.
Personally I like Burger King’s Bacon King more.
“SEPARATETH THINE CONDIMENTS” SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW
And The Lord said unto me, Thou shall sittest at thine dinner table, and the ketchup shalt be at thine left hand, and the mayo shalt be on thine right, and both shall be pleasing in My sight, so long as they touchest not. For he that mixeth the sauces shall be unclean in My sight, and will be cast out to wander the desert for forty generations, with nothing but their Dijonnaise and their Baconnators and their Renoulades to sustain them. For such is The Will of Our Lord, Amen.
Is Joyce gonna lead a boycott on Heinz?
*points to Joyce will sitting down*
You…keep talking…
Yeah, Joyce is completely correct here.
And related to that, what is with you weirdos who put mayonnaise on burgers?
It sticks the lettuce to the bun. 🙂
And what’s with you weirdos who sap the heat and life out of a sandwich by putting lettuce and/or a slice of tomato on it. Salads exist so you don’t have to ruin burgers.
Barbara Kruger is a great artist and this is one of her greatest pieces:
How dare you not be me?.
You are a heretic to the delicious cronch :<
Tomatoes and lettuce (especially tomatoes) are godly and fantastic on sandwiches and burgers be quiet
I should have scrolled down a little further before my mayo comment. This is the thermonuclear global crisis take I should have addressed instead. A big fat slice of tomato makes the burger and I will die on this hill.
I like different flavors and textures in my burger or sandwich.
Heretic! I put extra tomato slices on my burger. The flavor makes the burger better.
Aioli on burgers is amazing!
Aioli is really only mayo with delusions of grandeur…
You mean donkey sauce?
Guy Fieri’s schtick is obnoxious, but damn that stuff’s good.
I like it, stop judging me. Mayonnaise is the only sauce I like and you will not take it from me.
Joyce’s ideas are intriguing to me, and I would like to subscribe to her newsletter.
Mayonnaise is the spawn of the devil… and for me I think that says something, given that I’ve tried to put all that behind me for decades now.
In that case, nobody tell her what’s in 1000 Island Dressing!
Man, Jacob’s awesome.
THEN WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DIP MY FRIES IN, JOYCE!?
If Joyce becomes Andrew Ryan because of this I will blame Jacob.
Joyce: “Are you entitled to the mayonaise in your sandwich? No, says the man in Washington, it belongs to the rich. No, says the man in Moscow, it belongs to Putin. No, says the man in the Bible Belt, it belongs to legal citizens. I choose a different answer. I choose the Imposible: Joyceland, a place where the people with OCD can make sandwiches their own way without restrictions of petty cuisine, where every sandwich and salad is valid, and where you can’t force people to eat something they don’t want, and you can make this place your own too.”
“A man chooses, a slave obeys, a woman KICKS YOUR ASS”
Joyce: “No gods, nor bigots, only friends.”
Mayo makes everything worse.
I agree, I’ve never understood the appeal of mayonaisse.
It’s very rich in fats and can bring different flavours together into a harmonious whole. I think the problem is that too many people thought you were supposed to just slather it on instead of adding just a little.
It’s okay, you can say Americans ruined it for everyone.
That’s a lot of the problem. I don’t particularly like it, even in small quantities, but it’s really gross in the quantity you get on a deli sandwich.
The mustard they skimp on.
I’ll never understand.
It tends to go very well with meats and chicken and can give things that extra little tang without being overwhelming if it is in a suitable dose a.k.a like a bit from a squirt bottle, not 3 spoons of it.
On the other hand, I can’t get the appeal of any other sauces used whatsoever.
In hindsight, the path from Leather jacket -> Dominatrix was short, so short.
After leather jacket comes leather pants and bra. Then comes full body suit with zippers and strap-on holster. She’s like a size 6.
And thus the Great Crusade against Thousand Island Dressing began.
Mayo and ketchup are both pretty bad, but if they should happen to be on something edible I can usually scrape them off and still enjoy whatever it is. Not mustard, though. If mustard touches something, that thing becomes garbage.
Is that any mustard, or just the yellow nonsense Americans have decided I need to specifically ask restaurants to exclude if I want edible hamburgers?
Honestly, mustard on McDonald’s hamburgers is probably what made me not much of a fan of hamburgers. Even a very good cheeseburger feels off if it’s not really tricked out. I much prefer fried chicken sandwiches.
I remember I once had this hamburger at this taco place as an adult. It was overcooked and had way too much sauce on it. I thought disliking non homemade hamburgers was one of my many childhood quirks, and on some level it proberably was. I mean it I did blame the bun. But this hamburger reminded how the one time I tried a fast food burger and hated it.
The best part of a McDonalds burger is the warm, rubery-yet-crunchy pickle slice.
Ehhhh…I mean, I guess any other kind of mustard is preferable to the plain yellow stuff? It’s bit like saying the decaying rat is less appetizing than the rest of the stuff in the dumpster, though. I’m just not much of a condiment guy.
mayo and ketchup should never be mixed, but they’re both good on burgers, even at the same time, although not on the same bun, but they still do get mixed in your mouth, but they don’t start out in a mixed state.
Mayonnaise and barbecue sauce is a far superior combination.
damn millennials are killing mayo
what’s next, freedom itself?
Millenials didnt invent Fry Sauce. It’s been around in the Us since like the 60s and Brazil (where it’s called Golf Sauce) since the 1920s.
First i was like “what people do that” but then i realised that i always put mayonnaise on my sandwishes with makrell in tomato sauce…
That’s right. Mayochup is just not right.
In Panel 4, Joyce looks like her Nobody just slid past her with a blurry whoosh effect and the speed of it is scaring her.
Ethan in the last panel is the most Jewish he’s been in DoA’s entire run and I am here for it
Has Joyce figured out yet that ketchup is just a whole bunch of different foods all touching each other? Just wondering…
Wow, i like what Jacob says in this strip. All of it are important messages!
Look at least they’re not mixing Cadbury Creme Eggs and Mayonaise.
(… Yes. This is a thing. No, I am not making it up.)
Found this: https://static.standard.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2019/04/02/10/heinz-cadbury-edited.jpg?w968
I am disturbed and horrified.
Ah. So this is what Joyce is like when she’s drunk with power.
Mayonaise and curry ketchup mixed is like the best.
I’m putting my hands over Joyce’s ears so that she doesn’t hear about curry ketchup. She might die of shock.
Even though I think I know how far down the rabbit hole Joyce is, sometimes there is a strip that reminds me she’s even further than I thought.
I feel so bad for Joyce. I can’t even fathom being so far up your religion’s butt that you can’t even comprehend critical thinking without it.
Then I remember they’ve only been in school for maybe a dozen weeks, and that’s all it took for Joyce’s entire worldview to upend. Her religion’s worldview was so threadbare that it snapped in a light breeze.
Then I remember that Joyce is auto, and my brain hurts even more.
Right on, Alt Text.
Mayo plus dill pickle relish is the base of homemade tartar sauce (with dry mustard, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh Italian parsley) so Alt Text is hereby redacted.
I can empathize with Joyce on principal. I have a (mostly) joking breakdown of how sauces are right and good, and condiments are base satanic fluids. Ketchup, mayo, mustard, relish, vinegar, all terrible. Soy sauce, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, marinara sauce, all good. Much like leprosy, any food tainted by a condiment is a lost cause, leaving surgical excision the only means to save a dish.
You can have my ketchupmixed mayo when you wrestle it from my cold, very slippery hands.
I use ketchup, mayo, and a bit of balsamic to make a sauce for my fishless fillets. And I will not be stopping that deliciousness. 😛
Ketchup and Mayo are both fine, but you should be care to mux them so you don’t wind up with excess sauce.
Joyce’s not a fan of Pommes Schranke, I take it. 😛
Mayochup is the future.
Joyce doesn’t like Utah fry sauce? It’s one of the only good things here.
You are not my Mom, Joyce! I will mix ketchup and mayonnaise, whenever I want!
I hate to break it to you, Jacob, but religious people have been trying to make rules for everyone else since *check notes* ever.
Also, to all the people asking about Dijon, that might depend if Joyce is still Republican. It’s my understanding that Republicans think putting Dijon mustard is a crime against America.
*puts finger to earpiece*
Oh, my bad, turns out that’s only if it’s a black person doing it. Same with *checks notes* tan suits.
Putting Dijon on your Freedom Fries is extra bad. (Psst. Don’t tell the Republicans the American Revolution would never have worked without French help!)
But it’s so much fun telling them that the French threw the equivalent of a gazillion bucks at the revolutionary forces just because it’d mess up the British… 8(
Or where the Statue of Liberty came from.
Well, they don’t likely being reminded of what’s written on the Statue of Liberty so much these days. Though I’m sure they’d be relieved to know that the French were decent enough to cover up her breasts, to spare the poor Americans’ sensibilities.
As someone who hates mayo and dislikes ketchup I am torn between:
“Meh. Nothing to do with me.”
“A plague on both your houses.”
and
“Just pass out condiment packets until the squirting stops.”
P.S. Mustard is awful too.
If you hate onions too we can become cooking friends
If you mean that fluorescent yellow stuff that is called mustard I agree with you, but real mustard, of which there are many variants, are great. I am partial to Dijon mustard mixed with horseradish.
And suddenly Joyce is disliked in Utah…and Brazil (where its called Golf Sauce)
G..golf sauce? I’ve only ever heard Rosé Sauce in Brasilia.
You will pry my pink sauce from my cold, dead hands. Well, someone’s cold, dead hands. Lots of hands about. No use wasting a good one.
This mayo+ketchup war in the comments section is like the war on pineapple+pizza.
(I like the former but not the latter)
Is no one going to mention that Jakes is pointing at Joyce’s ‘pointers’ in panel 3?
That’s about five-to-fifteen degrees too high. More like her collarbone.
To those who have never worked fast food:
Every sauce on any fast food burger is just mayonnaise, ketchup, and/or relish mixed in different proportions, possibly with packets of different dry sauce mixes blended in. That’s it. Everything is those three things plus optional powder.
Also they’ve probably had the expiry date stickers secretly switched more than once.
Also the Carl’s Jr Happy Star training videos will replay in my nightmares long into old age.
Wait, mustard isn’t on that list?
…. wait, does mustard count as a sauce?
Honey mustard sauce is one of the powders. It goes in mayonnaise.
Regular old mustard mustard is in standard little mustard bottles next to the lettuce and tomatoes on the burger assembly line and is generally not an ingredient in mixing things.
*raises hand*
Allergic to mayonnaise here. That shit shows up everywhere, even when I specifically ask for without. (Not like I need an epipen or anything, but if I eat more than a bite, it’s barf city.) Ban it all, Joyce!
So you are allergic to eggs?
I really like these comics where Joyce explores her faith. There’s really nothing else like it out there, and it’s handled very well. Good job.
I for one approve of our new Anti-Mayo Joyce overlords. It is a sandwich ruining monster of a condiment.
It is! And once it’s on, it can’t be undone. Soaks into all the bread and other ingredients. If you’re allergic like me, it’s like “whoops, guess we just don’t give a fuck about you”.
I just made myself a mayo and yellow mustard sandwich.
On whole wheat toast.
So bite me.
God help us all
I’m the one who came for your mayonnaise, btw. I keep it in a secret refrigerated storage vault in case the mayonnaisecalypse comes.
I would not be at all surprised if that was hidden in some half-forgotten chapter of Leviticus somewhere.
oh wow.
