| | Fitz | FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Potatos. Taters. Potaytos and potahtos. Who doesn't know 'em? And yet 500 years ago only South American Indians did! So while most of us Europeans - who now can't live a day without their puree/chips/crisps/etc. - munched on maize, they'd been growing that thing for the past TEN THOUSAND YEARS! Today, you can find a hundred different varieties within a single valley in the Andes. Hell! An average Indian farmer grows a dozen of 'em! The mother of all potato kind is Solanum Brevicaule - a native to souther Peru. However, 99% of all taters worldwide descend from from the Chilean subspecies, Solanum Tuberosum Tuberosum.
Did YOU eat your daily portion of taters today? I did.
And in this unusual fashion, I present to you: The First Ever Strip of CHOMP! I was supposed to post a bunch of teasers - but I was just too busy working on the comic itself. And slacking. MOSTLY slacking. BUT here it is, finally: CHOMP! - a comic about foods! Made to make your mouth drivel and your brains grow!
Hope you enjoyed this one! I still need some time to get the whole thing rollin' - but hopefully it won't take me as long to make as this first one did ;) Oh well, as they say: the first step is always the hardest! -Posted on Apr 20, 2009 |

Potatoes! I'm thinking mashed with butter as part of dinner. -Posted on May 27, 2009 | | User: Brogan | | 5 | | very cool! -Posted on May 26, 2009 | | User: Fitz | | | Vickie: No worries :) I allow myself some dietary insanity, too. While I'm trying to eat healthy and keep fit, I won't refuse some chocolate. Or waffles! Or chocolate chip cookies!
Gary: taters = "Irish potatoes", as wikipedia tells me ;)
Midge: Yeah food IS supposed to look great ;)
Frey: If I'm not mistaken, there's also brown sugar, yerba mate (an acquired taste) and tobacco (blah!) among others.
Trevor, Bocaj: Thanks!
Dawn: Hehehe! Good to see You still hanging around on DD :) How's Your dotcom?
Nepath: Mashed, pureed or the English way: fish and chips?
Abt: I wouldn't call them cops. Just regular bullies - but it's true one is always of the talkative kind while the other's all about the actions ;) And yes, rice and noodles! I'm munching on a rice waffle as we speak (my favorite source of carbs before workout sessions, by the way)
Machinehead: Wow you must have wide arteries ;) -Posted on Apr 27, 2009 | | User: machinehead | | 5 | | I was born in Idaho I got taters in my blood. -Posted on Apr 26, 2009 | | User: Abt_Nihil | | 5 | Figures... spoon and fork play good cop/bad cop, with the knife being the silent bully!
I won't have potatoes today, didn't have any yesterday, won't have any tomorrow. Because well, there are still rice and noodles too - can't neglect 'em. -Posted on Apr 26, 2009 | | User: Nepath | | 5 | i WILL be having potatos later today!
