+ | This comic is a subtle statement on the epiphany many have when they reach adulthood and are on their own for the first time: Noone will tell you what to do! Nobody will, however, stop you from making those poor decisions you were refrained from prior to that independence. Eating bacon whenever one wants is among them. This line graph depicts [[Randall|Randall's]] health as a funtion of time after he gets to own a {{w|Kitchen stove|stove}} (or oven). The joke is that his health goes into an immediate deterioration the moment he realized that he could just cook bacon on his stove whenever he wants. When he says "he could have bacon", he means he has both the will AND means, since the stove is now his own. Before the bacoon revelation his health was actually improving -this may be explained because he was now cooking his own, healthy, food rather than getting pizza delivered or having other premade foods/junk food. | ||
− | + | {{w|Icing_(food)|Frosting}} (or icing) is something you use to decorate cakes. Many children enjoys this so much that they eat it of the cake and leaves the rest behind. Frosting in a can, as mentioned in a title text is convenient because it is instant and not necessary to make from scratch. When Randall came to college he still had a very sweet tooth so when he discovered Frosting in a can his health curve at the time also went into decline. However, that turned out to be a phase - he got over it, and he hopes it will be the same with cooking bacon. | |
− | + | There is now also similarly instant, pre-made bacon that can be eaten right out of the box, eliminating the need to put in any effort to prepare it. Hopefully Randall has not discovered this! | |
