What's a man sized hotcake?
How did you have that picture just ready to go?
Kliban is one of my all-time favorite cartoonists so it was my first thought.
Knew it.
I'm not even gay, but GOD DAMN!
Poor guy is so dehydrated :( I hope his kidneys make it to 40.
Why don’t you come over here and find out, sailor?
I'm scaroused
Think of all the plastic that ends up in landfills thanks to these “disposable” razors.
And plastic producers have known since its inception that most can't be recycled.
I'm guessing the metal in the razors could be re-used too. Probably too expensive to do it though.
Also they're technically a biohazard
I would think something like that would be relatively easy to take care of with the metal if there was a cost-effective way to recycle it because the metal would end up in a forge and I don't think any pathogens could survive that high a heat.
Over here advertising man sized hotcakes. Now in 2024 due to shrinkflation it's more like trial size.
Maybe the just included the refill razorblades within the burgers?
Multibladed razors were new around that time, weren't they? I just remember my dad telling me about the time he first discovered Saturday Night Live in the 70's because they had a skit about, like, a 12 bladed razor blade and both SNL and the multibladed razor concept was so new he honestly thought he was seeing a real commercial since he just clicked onto the station in the middle of it.
It was, and the SNL skit was actually for a three-bladed razor. "Because you'll believe anything."

Gillette now has a five-blade razor.
This was predicted by the onion: https://theonion.com/fuck-everything-were-doing-five-blades-1819584036/
True, but it was essentially the same joke SNL did with three blades.
Those aren't safety razors, just your normal disposable.
Aren't disposables a type of safety razor? Just one where the razor can't be replaced?
Yes

Thanks, that's what I thought.
So, when we say that's good news, did we breach copyrighted material?
