Whoever lived here before me and planted the grapevines next to the bamboo just cursed me with sky grapes

Grapevines have grown up the height of a bamboo plant, resulting in bunches of grapes 15 feet (4.5 meters) off the ground

Guys, this is less than half of the strips in this book specifically about toasters (not to mention toast).

Superman is standing outside of an apartment window shooting beams out of his eyes at a smoking toaster. A man sitting at the kitchen table shouts "Egad! Not again!!" A caption narrates " Having been thwarted in the courts, Superman, with the help of his x-ray eyes, instead carries on his incessant harassment campaign of burning archfiend Bruno Pitt's toast"

A factory worker is using a hose to squirt vanilla topping on top of a conveyor belt of cupcakes. Down the line, an unplugged toaster approaches. The caption reads " a potential reject"

A man in a suit squats down and says " hello. To begin, I'd like to do my impression of a toaster. Here goes. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm- POP" He throws his hands in the air. He continues, squatting down, " thank you, thank you. And now, a fuse box. Ready? Mmmmmm" he squats down again.

A man is sitting on the end of his bed facing a small kitchen table. The kitchen table has milk, canned and boxed goods, and an unplugged toaster. He has 5:00 shadow and a revolver dangling in his hand. He says " you have brought Sunshine to my life and now I must say goodbye."
The man shoots the toaster point blank.

Sometimes a small thing gets me, like the way the caption casts a physical shadow in the kitchen. Other times, I'm left in awe of the absurdity of "Good desk."

In the foreground, a tv dinner sits, abandoned, a fork speared unto what may be meatloaf or Salisbury steak. In the distance, a man in a suit is fleeing across the checkered tile floor of the kitchen. A caption reads "...Somewhere in Ohio, a man runs away from his TV Dinner" the caption is casting a shadow across the corner of the room

At a beach, several small sand castles hide the figures that have built them. Each person squints suspiciously from their parapets

A four panel comic, all featuring a man leaning forward in a chair, holding a box of biscuits and speaking to a large office desk.
Panel one: Sit.
Panel two: Roll over.
Panel three: Play dead.
Panel four: Good desk. (He throws a biscuit underhanded to the desk and it bounces off the surface)

A man has pushed his lawnmower in a curving path away from his home far on the horizon. He has paused, one hand still gripping the bar of the mower, and thinks "The world is insane." A caption beneath declares "A sudden realization"

I will continue to share some in this thread as I go through the book, but I have to show my favorite Ziegler

Two men face off in karate gis. One has very small hands. He declares "My hands—as you can see—are tiny and made of porcelain, so let's be careful."

My girlfriend rightfully spotted this book as something I would enjoy

The cover of Hamburger Madness: Cartoons by Jack Ziegler.
At a museum, a security guard is sitting in a folding chair, eating his lunch in front of a painting of a hamburger. His rifle is propped up against the wall nearby.

A decorative box holds a bottle that is shaped like a woman lying on the ground, pulling herself away from the viewer towards a farmhouse in the distance. The box is labeled Christina's Brandy, a play on Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth

A man sits, dejected at his desk in a high rise office. The telephone receiver is dangling from his hand. The caption says "For months now, Gordon has not understood a single thing on Dial-A-Joke"

A man stands in a bare room, nothing on the floor or walls. Behind gim is a simple card table with a typewriter and a tray of paper, and a folding chair. Out the window, a nondescript neighborhood can be seen. He is facing the corner, staring at the ceiling, mouth agape. The paper is blank.

My gf was so disappointed when she learned this was a reference, rather than a complete non sequitur.

Fried rice for breakfast. Furikake in the eggs, maple syrup and toasted sesame oil in the soy sauce. What a way to start the day

The local Friends of the Library have an enormous warehouse bookshop, and currently there's a bogo sale on scifi mass market books, so I've seen a lot of rad covers

The cover of Lloyd Arthur Eshbach's "The Sorceress of Scath" which features a very tall blue cat woman with giant bird wings. She clutches a pair of golden snakes that are coiled around her body and she stands on a golden dais, towering over a pair of humans in fantasy medieval attire

It's TDoV, an increasingly complicated holiday over the last several years. I'm Vid, a nonbinary transfem who is slowly writing and illustrating their first trans sapphic romance. I'm also unemployed from my career working in politics, another statistic worth seeing on TDoV.

It's Angler's birthday! I highly recommend tracking at least one OC's big day. She popped out of a pond in 2020 during my D&D game. Six years now this elf has taken up rent in my brain, and I'm so happy for it. This piece is going to take a few more hours, but I'm looking forward to it.
