Cast-Iron Ceiling

By Jimmy Johnson

May 11, 2015


I’ve always liked this one, from five years ago. The best gags just write themselves, it seems. If you follow the link above to GoComics, you’ll see it inspired quite a lively discussion about the proper care of cast-iron cookware. When I was a younger man, I was easily dazzled by shiny trinkets and owned a lot of stainless-steel pots and pans. I still have them and use them, but along the way I developed an appreciation for the cast-iron stuff. It’s great for browning! And if you’ve read this far, you probably know as well as I do that it has to be the old stuff.

    I was less interested in or bothered by the mirrors in the casino/hotel in Wendover NV than I was by the stale tobacco odors that permeated the building, including the nonsmoking wing. There was no escaping it.

      Yep, makes as much sense as a non-peeing section in a swimming pool.
