TURNIP GREENS! TROTTERS! WHAT A HEARTSTOPPING SPREAD. WISH I STILL ATE MEAT. THE ONLY THING HERE I CAN HAVE ARE THE ROLLS.

DID I EVER TELL YOU ABOUT WANDA BARNES' GIRL THAT WENT VEGETARIAN? IN TWO WEEKS SHE WAS BALD AS A BILLIARD BALL.

TIP O THE NIB TO BARBARA SMITH

SHE SHAVED HER HEAD, AUNT YO-

THAT'S WHAT SHE

LANDA.

TOLD PEOPLE.

1947 BY AUSON BECHDE

REVEREND, THANK YOU FOR THAT MOVING EULOGY. I HAD NO IDEA MY MOTHER GAVE SO MUCH TIME TO THE CHURCH BUILDING FUND.

SHE WAS A GENEROUS LADY. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU TAKE RIGHT AFTER HER. YOUR FATHER JUST TOLD ME HE'S MOVING UP NORTH WITH YOU AND YOUR,UH...FRIEND AUDREY.

HE WHAT?

KA-HACK!

THOSE ROLLS ARE AINFUL DRY. GO TRY SOME OF THAT CORNBREAD WITH THE HAM CHUNKS AND BACON DRIPPINGS.

Slap!

MEANWHILE...

OKAY, DAD, OKAY! NOW WILL YOU GET OFF MY ASS? GOODBYE!
