The glazed carrots must be really on the side, either the other side of the table or the other side of the room. Staying with @meg’s thinking, white rice with hamburger gravy sounds like what you might feed your dog if he’s been vomiting.
Wanders! I can only hope that KM does not read your secret message! I, for one, am thrilled to see the return of Iris and Zak! The only downside is that we will have to put up with them calling each other "Dear" again. I've been moaning about that for years. No one, KM, NO ONE under the age of 92 calls their spouse or partner "Dear". Oh well...
meg and KitKat - I'm not sure if that's a pile of dog food on Zak's plate or if it's what the dog upchucked. Either way, Uncle Joe would be proud of June.
Is Zak the only one eating this delicious meal or is his business in trouble so they are sharing the same plate? And why is the plate in the middle of the table? So many questions for a Monday and the start of another riveting story.
Ah, childhood days and what we used to get for school lunch and called "gravy train". Who wouldn't be nostalgic for that?! Perhaps Iris was a cafeteria lunch lady in a previous life. And maybe Zak has early onset dementia since he doesn't remember telling Iris about his favorite childhood meal. One can only hope.
I'm with Helen Clark! I'll take Zak and Iris all day every day. They are by far my favorite characters in the sense that they're the only ones in this strip who don't induce nails-on-a-chalkboard annoyance. (Do they still make chalkboards?)
Although I find the dialog and the illustration hilarious, I can’t imagine where the plot can possibly go from here, other than food poisoning or a ghostly visit from Zak’s late mom, rattling pots and pans rather than chains.
Anyone know if the art is recycled again? The only way I can see "white rice and hamburger gravy" making its way onto the page is if they started with the art in panel 2 and had to come up with a meal that could plausibly describe the pile of beige glop that Zak's eating.

The sight of that plate of dog food makes me fear that Saul and his pack will be dropping by to dine.
“Great job! Thanks, Mom!”

I take it that Zak is very easy to please.
WOW! White rice with venison gravy! Thanks, deer!
I don't know how all of you smart people read today's strip. Every site I visit still shows yesterdays strip.
Iris: "You're welcome, dear! I told your professional chef exactly the way you like it! Now, where did I put the TV remote ... ?"
@MissScarlet: I checked the comics section in the Washington Post.
