July 07, 2008, 01:16 PMYeah, Clarsen, this is fun. It's interesting that the Westerner is eating with his hands. It reminds me of a saying (here paraphrased in English) that a Chinese friend told me once:
The most primitive people use 5 utensils (i.e. fingers).
More advanced are Westerners who use three utensils.
Most advanced are Chinese who use two.
It looks like we just got taken down a notch in the cultural look-down.

Based on what your Chinese friend said, my chubby dog is SUPER advanced.

I really like this one! It took me a second to get the real joke - chicken drumsticks (legs) for the Westerner, chicken feet for the other - nothing going to waste, and no one eating what they don't want.
There's also a very nice synchronicity with today's Newbie lesson on meat.
Keep them coming!

July 10, 2008, 09:42 AMNice cartoons, keep them up. Although I have to say I didn't get it as the Chinese guy just looks like he's eating prawns to me.

July 13, 2008, 02:46 AMNice, add a Filipino there and you'd have him eating the innards of the chicken. :) (not offensive, since we really do. hehe)
Waste not, want not.
Got to love them "phoenix feet"
