Tales to Demystify: The Perfect Breakfast Sandwich
Go ahead, get your arguments ready in your head. I thought I’d have quibbles with whatever ingredients John ended up using in this comic, but in the end he won me over. I see you, bacon fans, eyeballing that sausage patty and perhaps not seeing any bacon anywhere on that sandwich. Bacon is a wonderful thing, that’s one of those universally acknowledged truths (except for vegetarians, and most of the ones I’ve been friends with liked bacon, they just didn’t eat it for moral reasons). But a sausage patty is the perfect shape to cover a bun, so it’s always going to be the clear winner here. But wait, am I really not going to list John’s suggested ingredients? Reader, I am not. That’d basically be spoiling the whole thing! You can make an educated guess from the image, but you’ll get at least one of the ingredients wrong. The only thing I take issue with is that he puts the jam UNDER the cheese, which goes against decades of training on my part, but considering the cheese he uses I can see the whole thing working out really well. I knew this would happen, but now I have to go get a breakfast sandwich. I do want to mention that John has been making comics for many years (I even reviewed one of his book before the great website rebuild of 2010, see if you can find it!), and in hindsight I would probably have been better off getting one of his heavier autobiographical comics. But I’m always going to walk away from Cartoon Crossroads wishing I’d picked up more comics, and this one was a lot of fun. It’s not on his website yet, but I think it was $3?
