- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

It's so weird to me when I hear people describe avocados as fruit. Because they are clearly. But it just feels wrong to me and I don't know why.
Nutty flavor, fatty texture. If someone called them a legume it'd still feel wrong, but less wrong.
Yes! This is it this is the one I'm most comfortable with so far.
If you're at all from the US it may be due to use to us teaching that sweet things are fruit and not sweet things are vegetables.
That 90's era food pyramid really fucked up a generation.
Ok, so there's like 2...4...no more than like 10 or 12 exceptions to the rule.
No, see cuz you calling it a vegetable just sounds equally weird to me. They're both weird. I don't know why.
Alright, so avacados are the globs of meat dangling from some trees that they use to reproduce.
Is that sounding more natural to you?
I enjoy defining many fruits as edible tree spooge.
...I could have lived happily without that forbidden perspective of cursed knowledge.
Sigh... Now I have to use it to torture my friends.
Do you suppose the fact that they're green and savory, instead of sweet has anything to do with it?
