[...unWARP!!!] Good evening. Foxes are VERY fond of grapes, believe it or not. Has Mr. Simpson done a strip with O&M eating grapes? If not, would any artist out there do a fan pic of O&M eating grapes? Zacatepngolas! Until next time, remember: I AM THE J.A.M. Good evening. [WARP!!!]

Heh, interesting theory... They must also be very fond of wine then as well, if that's the case. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

He leaped. He snapped. Drooling, he jumped to reach them, but try as he might, he could not obtain the tasty prize. Disappointed by the fruitless efforts he'd made to get the grapes that day, he said, with a shrug, to comfort himself, "Oh, they were probably sour anyway!" </td></tr></table>

That might explain why I'm obsessed with the things, then. Hm For the record, while wine is made from grapes, it is not grape-flavoured <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />

Vodka is not potato-flavored.

Mmm, grapes... "I asked if you liked grapes." "And I'm answering you!" <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

Oh yeah that one! I knew there was a grape-related strip in there somewhere, just couldn't think of it.

There's another, well somewhat where the line is something like "what aesop's fox didn't realize is that sour grapes are one of life's greatest pick-me-ups". I know it's old style and I believe felicia is the one who gets grape juice dumped on her. Edit: Also thanks to Octan linking this in the most recent current strip topic thingy <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2004/om20040913.html' target='_blank'>this one</a> has jelly, which isn't always grape but it usually is And as long as I'm on that I know when Locke and Millie got control of Greater Llwellynland Locke was eating jam straight from the jar.

[...unWARP!!!] Good evening. An encyclopedia, actually. Foxes and jackals were big pests next to locusts that invaded vineyards in the middle east, which is why vineyards needed to be fenced in AND kept under guard. Also, coyotes are fond of watermelons. Zacatepngolas! Until next time, remember: I AM THE J.A.M. Good evening. [WARP!!!]
