The results of the fanart contest 2012 have been posted:
- Ye Thuza: Why the sad face?
- David: I just realized that I’ve become an adult, an old geezer!
- Ye Thuza: How come? Did you look at your children and said to yourself: “Wow, those are mine!”?
- David: Nooo.
- David: … I… I liked the vegetables better than the dessert!
- Ye Thuza: Don’t worry, you’re still way too immature to be considered an adult.
- David: You think?

One’s partner (heterosexual/homosexual) should always make them feel as young as the day they met 🙂
You’re never too old to be immature.
I’m 16 and there are times I would much prefer vegetables over desert. Just not ALL THE TIME.
So still no drinking for him?
I’ll celery take celery celery celery celery over desert celery celery.
Starting to like vegetables over dessert huh? Well in that case the solution is obvious: make a dessert out of vegetables! Namely carrot cake.
Last panel made me laugh. Still, they both have a point. He’s so immature that he thinks that if veggies taste better than dessert, than he’s old. So they’re both right…
Nothing like a pat on the head to make you feel less mature.
“I will yield not one jot to maturity! If I cannot remain a child, then I will be, at least, childish!”
Whatever happens, he still named his son after a video game character. No one can ever take that away from him.
Cloud: Clyde? Colin? Hmm, no… Kirk? Ah, definitely not. Kurt? Carl? … Calum… Callan! Yes. Callan Williams! Now, how old do I have to be to… oh. (groans)
(Only joking. >:=)> We’ve seen no indication that Cloud isn’t perfectly happy with his name.)
Lol this is awesome. Almost as awesome as The Avengers was.
Gotten back into the gag of the day format, huh?
In that case, can we have another Sly Raccoon reference? Please?
It’s sad to say, but I can relate. I reached for the All-Bran over the Honey Nut Cheerios today. Not a shining moment for me…
Nah, he’s just becoming more Asian. Most Asian veggie dishes are more flavorful than their desserts. I’d take another serving of the potato leaves over any number of red bean buns. Now, could someone pass the kimchi?
I don’t fear dying but I fear getting old. My dad taught me that.
@ BarGamer:
Kimchi is awesome. And stir fry Baby Kailan is so damn tasty! many Asian food recipe for vegetables are just finger lickin’ good!
Ye Thuza: “Listen dear, I don’t care if you’re being immature. At least you’re still a Man in the bedroom” *wink*
I hope my husband will say that to me when I grow up.
…Otherwise I’ll say it to him xD

I hear that! Curry with veggies in it is awesome, too!
Except for the hair, this is absolutely me!! I even share his name!
I’ve always been a big fan of broccoli, myself.
Dude don’t knock it… baby carrots are awesome!
If it is what takes to be an adult, I will never be one. Ice cream forever!
I wish I had a Wife Like her….looks so much fun….
Vegetable: hot, buttered, sugared carrots.
Dessert: Jello.
Choose.

I guess you can have mine.
Celery makes me break out in hives of I eat it and I get a rash if i handle it.
Do you hate beets, carrots? I can eat extra of that for you.
Sweet and sarcastic…..I am totally in love with Cloud’s mom!
what type of vegetation are we talking here? If it’s coal-slaw then it counts as a dessert.
@Crestlinger If you puree those sugared carrots with milk and cinnamon then they’re even better.
Is Ye Thuza getting fat? She should keep doing her one handed push-ups. BTW my name is also Ye, although I’m a guy. But it’s generally a male name. 😀
@ Hfar:
But Hfar, isn’t that baby food?
I feel younger when I embarass my teenage daughters. Now that one is going off to college I guess I have to start growing up.
@Bucc-i Related but not the same. The trick is to use the freshest carrots you can find and lower the milk content so its less of a bland mush and more resembles something akin uncooked pumpkin pie filling. The addition of spices such as cinnamon and clove help in this regard.
@ Greenwood Goat:
In fact we have every indication that he DOES like his name; after all he acts the part!
As a side note, this strip reminds me of an XKCD strip that I really like. Here’s the link: http://xkcd.com/616/
@ Burmese:
She looks pretty normal to me. I’d rather she didn’t look like a bony supermodel. That isn’t healthy either you know.
@Burmese; Not really. I guess ‘a bun in the oven’, as it’s all about food anyway. 🙂
I’m glad not to be an adult, my son (33) is one. One adult in the family is enough!
Oh no! I’ve been an adult my whole life!
Wonderful comic! Liking vegetables more than desert doesn’t mean your an adult. I commonly do (especially sweet potatoes, beets, and artichokes) and I’m only mid-teens. Dark chocolate often wins out though… One thing about the wording, I think it would be “Did you look at your children and SAY to yourself” instead of said. Just a suggestion (and I like the gag a day style for at least a little while)
getting old in mandatory growing up is optional! 😀
Wolf in Bears Clothing (its the last thing they’d suspect)
well this is me irl Honest I still play with trains & other toys 😉
ever notice that david has the same hairstyle as link?
The most mature person in that family is Cloud, I swear. XD
@ alexander B:
You monster!
Just think of all those poor cookies that go stale and die a slow pianful death instead of going out in a blaze of glory between your jaws!
THINK ABOUT THE COOKIES!
I love Clouds family.
Just so awesome and yet so immature.
I liked my vegetables better than my dessert once…. but the dessert was badly made jelly O.o
