No Bad Pizzas


Apropos to nothing, I couldn’t help noticing after I’d selected this old cartoon that it appeared in newspapers exactly one week after the 9/11 attacks of 2001, but it would have been drawn and submitted to the syndicate for distribution before the attacks. That also means it would have run 17 years ago this month. Where does the time go? I used to do a lot more “pizza delivery” jokes before I moved out from town, far beyond the range of the pizza guy. I experimented with making my own pizza (as has Arlo during the same period), but eventually I became a connoisseur of frozen pizzas. “Home Run Inn” and “Palermo” and “Freshetta” come to mind, a little pricey for frozen pizza but considerably less than delivery. And those that advertise being “just like delivery?” Uh-uh. Do you have a suggestion?
