Ha! I KNEW it! Healthy food is BAD for you!
You do know you drew Mr. Healthy Bug eating a carrot, and not Brussels Sprouts, right? His arm falling off is hilarious! Serves him right! Eat a donut once in a while. Eat a gag burger down at the local mom n pop burger joint. LIVE a little!
Every once in a while a joke comes around that describes a situation I’ve never discussed with a human being, but have definitely dealt with. In today’s cartoon, it’s about trying to find the seam in a pistachio.
I never really gave it much thought that there must be other people in the world who have had trouble finding the seam in a pistachio. Ana as a bonus, it’s applied metaphorically to death — in a “it’s so surreal it’s actually quite funny” panel.
Are you familiar with sokushinbutsu? It was a practice a few Buddhist monks did — “self-mummification.” There are couple dozen sokushinbutsu mummies. The way they did it included eating very little for a year ahead of time, to remove as much fat and muscle as they could, and eventually starve to death. And it ALSO involved drinking a tea made from the same plant that you make laqueur from. So, yeah.
Step 1. For three years, eat very little, so you start to starve.
Step 2. For the next three years, eat nothing but, basically, tree bark, including drinking tea made from preservatives.
Step 3. When you’re pretty close to dead, get shut up in a big clay tomb with a hole for air and a bell to ring every day to let them know you’re still alive. Once you stop ringing the bell, you’re dead, and they can close up the hole and let you dry out.
So, yeah. Eating more preservatives CAN help save on embalming.
Now imagine yourself as the stretchy guy from fantastic four made of cheese. Superpowers, AND you smell delicious!
And the invisible girl then would be made of Aspic?
Ben Grimm would be made of fruitcake, then
Habanero Johnny Storm?
But what if someone’s a cannibal?
Then they are who they eat.
Wow, talk about multiple personality disorder if you ate a burger or a bowl of chili.

If you are what you eat, you must be a cannibal :p
An autocannibal, no less.

I would like to expand on this point, and mention that the human brain is significantly made out of cholesterol, and runs entirely on glucose.
Save on embalming– eat more preservatives.

Hmm. So if the Monks kept a regular diet they would probably live another 30 years, maybe?
