The thing that amazes me about cartoonists like Robert Weber is the ability to say it all in one image. I love this one, and it's going - framed - in my kitchen. It does say it all: the frantic pose of the frazzled cook (we can only imagine what her hair looks like now); the burning, sizzling, steaming culinary disasters on the stove; the lobster scuttling away... but what I love most of all, is the well-meaning smiles of discovery (about to fade away) on the faces of the guests as they hesitantly but curiously peer around the kitchen door.
It's well known the best food comes from the messiest kitchens! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love it! Poor little cook...she's thinking the guests are sitting in her beautifully clean and company-ready dining room and so glad that they can't see the kitchen from their seats!
ReplyDeleteButtercream and lemon curd?...I'll be right over to lick the bowls!
I can certainly relate to this. I can crank out a pretty good finished product, but the process looks exactly like this! I am an extremely messy cook.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giggles. I love Robert Weber's cartoons! :)
Very funny! I hope Mr. Tibbles has the good sense enough not to interfere when BPG is creating magic in the kitchen... he could end up like the lobster... or worse!
ReplyDeleteI can relate! Thanks for the big laugh!
ReplyDeleteI love those single panels.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Peter Arno's.
Great cartoon....and I can't help wondering what it is she's reaching for in the fridge?
ReplyDeleteIt is so hot and humid here so when I get home I’m going to make a new potato salad, heavy on the spring onions, a tomato salad, and some mixed salad leaves with shredded raw beetroot served with a slab or two of good quality ham.
ReplyDeleteAnd my kitchen will look like hers.
Ahhhhhh!! What a splendid drink!! We should have some together...
