Originally, Elder Van Dyke was going to be eating a peanut butter sandwich, but then I remembered that my imaginary country of Laputania hadn't been introduced to peanut butter yet so I found a satisfactory substitute.
I'm sure you appreciate my commitment to continuity.
Actually, Joel, if somebody wanted to criticize this strip, they could start with the oven that heats up to 650º Fahrenheit. Unless it doubles as a smelter, I can't imagine what you'd need an oven that hot.
Our dear Joel has clearly spent his share of time in third-world countries--I think his brain has been host to too many helminthic visitors. Laputania, while not strictly extant, is likely better classified as Eastern-Bloc rather than Third-World. Also, if you're out to be critical, start with the incomplete conversion equation our mathematically-challenged cartoonist offered in the subtitle. As far as cheese sandwiches goes, I'll leave that to creative license.
You mentioned continuity in your comment. I like that Elder Van Dyke is the one cooking in all four of your strips...It's nice to know that you are a much better cook than him.

I'm sure Eric will find something to criticize about the nuances of making cheese sandwiches in a third world country.
