Bacon, or dignity… Man that’s a tough one.
I’d probably take the bacon. Bacon makes my tummy happy. Dignity just makes me care about what other people think.
Dignity-schmignity, guys, we’re talking BACON here! Besides, who among us doesn’t do silly dance moves anyway just to embarrass the kids? Bacon and “Oh my god, dad, quit it!” all in one, sweet!
There is no dignity when it comes to bacon… there is only bacon. If someone offered me a months worth of bacon to show my posterior to passerby’s for 10 minutes, there would be a lot of scarred and traumatized people…. but I’d have bacon. *nom*nom*nom*
Canadian Bacon is a 1995 comedy film which satirizes Canada–United States relations along the Canada–United States border.
OR
It is much leaner than streaky bacon, and is sometimes sold in the US as Canadian bacon, owing to the popularity of back bacon in those countries. “Canadian Bacon” sold in the US can also mean a round, sliced and usually smoked ham product sold in many parts of the US.
In much of Canada, “Canadian Bacon”, often referred to here as “Peameal Bacon”, is not smoked but rather set in a brine. The name reflects the historic practice of rolling the bacon in ground dried yellow peas, although nowadays, it is generally rolled in yellow cornmeal since it is cheaper an standard US practice of c heaping out when they can get away with it.
Mind you the use of actual Pea Meal does affect the flavour if you are a bacon aficionado.
This is one of the strips that I don’t really find funny because of culture differences. I don’t like bacon, actually, I’d avoid it or left it on the plate if it comes with other stuff. I even pick the bacon out from my burger if I happen to order a new one and didn’t know it contains bacon.
Better substitute: Cinnabon. Or sticky buns, if you know what those are. Offer me a sticky bun warm and fragrant from the oven and I would be willing to do dance moves that would embarrass almost anyone.
…You know what – fine. It’d be fairly strange of me to brag about embarrassing myself in public and then not share the link to the very same… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HY5VBMJ9VY
Dancing is a socially sanctioned way to get your moron on, when the music stops everyone goes on as if nothing had happened. And all the other inhibited stuffed shirts are too busy worrying about who is looking at them to look at you.
It’s…it’s bacon, man. Not just any bacon, but *hot & crispy* bacon. I would totally bust out the old cabbage patch and electric slide, heck, even the running man, for bacon.
(and now all the young ones on here are going to be asking what the heck is a cabbage patch and electric slide…)
I just imagine someone randomly visiting an office to sell hot bacon and not getting kicked out, because hey, would you want to be the one that kicked out the hot crispy bacon guy?
I will do this embarrassing dance: My version of the chicken dance. Here’s how it goes: For the first part, i’ll walk in a circle with my arms looking like wings and flapping ’em, and when it gets to the “DUN DUN DUN DUN” I shake my booty to the beat of it, and when it gets to the slower part I move my waist and nothing more in a circle. I wonder how much bacon the entire song would give me…
Ferangi Rule of Acquisition #109: Dignity and an empty sack is worth the sack. If there’s free bacon for dancing like an idiot, I do that on a regular basis anyone.
For example, I was at the dentist and the hygienist gave me some antiseptic solution to swish for a minute. Since standing around is awkward already, I decided to do a little dance to liven things up. Her response was “Oh my god, are you flossing?” Yep, the floss was my stupid go to dance at the moment, didn’t even think of the pun. She had to leave the room to gain her composure since she was laughing so hard. I’m pretty sure she thinks I’m nuts. And I had no cavities.

Especially if it’s only the Bacon Salesman watching. *Especially* if it’s fresh bacon.

If I’m not mistaken, this is your first strip to contain no dialogue aside from the narration box.
It has no need for dialogue – the bacon does enough talking! Listen to the bacon….
Adam’s next project: “Baconcomic.com”. Without any words.
Yeah. I think a lot of my strips are too wordy.
Not at all, Your comics are hilarious and are just fine.
There is no dignity when it comes to bacon… there is only bacon. If someone offered me a months worth of bacon to show my posterior to passerby’s for 10 minutes, there would be a lot of scarred and traumatized people…. but I’d have bacon. *nom*nom*nom*
BACONBACONBACON!!!!!!
Bacon could be the subject of many “strips”. What is Canadian Bacon?

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
I have a feeling I’ve only had the smoked ham product. I’ve had brined pork before but it I’m pretty sure it wasn’t back bacon.
How do you define an abstract concept with a single image? Panel 1. Congratulations Adam.
There is a fervor here for bacon that is unfettered… dignity be d***ed full speed ahead.
This is one of the strips that I don’t really find funny because of culture differences. I don’t like bacon, actually, I’d avoid it or left it on the plate if it comes with other stuff. I even pick the bacon out from my burger if I happen to order a new one and didn’t know it contains bacon.
Perhaps I should’ve provided a link that would take you to the same comic, only the word “bacon” would be replaced with “gazpacho.”
Awesome reply, Adam. Gazpacho indeed for the non-bacon eaters. We don’t judge here…but that’s just crazy!
Better substitute: Cinnabon. Or sticky buns, if you know what those are. Offer me a sticky bun warm and fragrant from the oven and I would be willing to do dance moves that would embarrass almost anyone.
Although I just realized that I’d also have to change “hot, crispy” to “cold, damp.”
For those who didn t already know, when “Someone” wrote “cultural differences” he actually meant “intergalactic cultural differences”.
Actually they were referring to religious cultural differences, mainly Jewish and Islamic cultures, although some Christians avoid it as well.
“The more you know.”
I would do anything for bacon, but I won’t do that!
(Apologies to
baconmeatloaf!)Easiest bacon ever. I occasionally dance like a moron at work anyway; one guy even filmed me and put me on YouTube…
We’ll be needing that link, r0b3rt…
Oh, I’m sure you’d like that, huh.
…You know what – fine. It’d be fairly strange of me to brag about embarrassing myself in public and then not share the link to the very same…

Wow! Great job, the bacon is on its way.
Dancing is a socially sanctioned way to get your moron on, when the music stops everyone goes on as if nothing had happened. And all the other inhibited stuffed shirts are too busy worrying about who is looking at them to look at you.
If God had not wanted us to eaten bacon, She wouldn’t have made it taste so good.
Bug: “I have my dignity.”
Oh, you do not.
It’s…it’s bacon, man. Not just any bacon, but *hot & crispy* bacon. I would totally bust out the old cabbage patch and electric slide, heck, even the running man, for bacon.
(and now all the young ones on here are going to be asking what the heck is a cabbage patch and electric slide…)
Oh man- I’d dance for bacon…
I just imagine someone randomly visiting an office to sell hot bacon and not getting kicked out, because hey, would you want to be the one that kicked out the hot crispy bacon guy?
shhhaaaattttt U QUESTION THE MIGHTY BACON!?!?! best get ur two step on bug bacon wins every time
What do you think bacon-vendor-Bug could get people to do for candied bacon? It’s like normal bacon, but with a crunchy coat of delicious brown sugar.
See Epic Meal Time for more details.
