See the rest at achewood.com. It gets even weirder. If you're familiar with El Bulli, "the most imaginative generator of haute cuisine on the planet" [the Guardian], and if you are also familiar with shooting for greatness and falling far, far short, you will understand the February 11 installment of Achewood. Even then, you may not understand it, but it's fun to see El Bulli, nachos, and Braveheart referenced in a comic strip.

When they are not slaying dragons or saving distressed maidens, superheros keep busy working on cereal endorsements. Batman, Spiderman, and the Hulk have all been tied to sugar-coated flakes or O's. Many of them have even forayed into Pop-Tarts. Gotta pay the cape and skin-tight suit dry cleaning bills somehow.

In this zany comic, the customer (a, uh, talking dog) declines the dish, citing the risk of motor neurone disease. The good news is that, to be appearing in web comics at all, sous-vide cooking must be gaining recognition. As for fandom, just give it time.

Check out this great comic by Chicago-based artist Lucy Knisley illustrating her and her boyfriend's 13-course meal at Alinea in all its pupil-dilating glory. If her drawings of the courses weren't enough—from the lamb stew in a bottomless cup to the dehydrated caramel dust with salt—she says, "the meal was probably the best meal I've ever eaten in my life." Considering that she wrote a book about exploring and eating in Paris, French Milk, she seems to be a food lover.
