"Ursa-cha" = "you're such a".

Granted, the "U" in "Ursa" as a Latin word should be pronounced like "oo" rather than like "yoo", but since in English, "U" is usually pronounced like the latter, it doesn't surprise me that it's apparently pronounced this way as an English word.

Like this?

And definitely short U in ursa. Not yoor-SA; UR-sa.

Thanks for clearing this up for me =) I'd assumed it was pronounced the way most English words starting with "u" are. I like to think my English is decent, but "Ursa" is not exactly a word that comes up in random spoken conversation, so I'd never heard it spoken out loud ;)

I have to admit that, for whatever it's worth, that pun took me a good couple of minutes to figure out. So it didn't work well written down for me.

Puns, they make Dad jokes seem funny. Still, better than Isaac Asimov who would do a short story just to deliver a piss poor pun, and be proud of it!!

And then lampshade it in the title (I assume you refer to "Shah Guido G") for the irony-impaired.

You should look traditional Nordic casseroles. You know fermented potato, sweet potato, swede,  liver with raisins, carrot - these are all casseroles that are made in pureed form. How ever, the most dog food like from the types I know would be "mached potato and minced meat". That's actually pretty good, if the meat is properly seasoned. Also, herring casserole (and anchovy) casserole has a suspicious to say at least consistency, but not really dog food like.

Also, haven't ever tought of that broccoli and cheese thing a casserole. Goes by different name here.

Why in heavens would you puree stuff to put in casseroles? Part of their simplicity lies in tossing in what's available, and some of the charm comes from texture.

Broccoli cheese casserole contains broccoli, cheese, cream of mushroom soup, rice and seasoning.

My personal favorite casserole is pineapple cheese casserole. It's become a traditional Thanksgiving dish in my family.

And that is the beauty of a casserole. Often the dishes consist of ingredients that should not mesh, but do in delightful and unexpected ways.

I am from the South, and casseroles are just common courtesy here. Going with your beau to meet his parents? Bring a casserole? Someone died? Send a casserole? Your second cousin just have a baby? Take a casserole.  Someone wrestle a bear and end up in the hospital? Growl up a casserole to the family.

I don't care for green bean casserole (I don't like French onions from a can) but I can do some serious damage to a layered Mexican casserole.  And what is trifle but a cold dessert casserole in a pretty dish?

Broccoli cheese casserole contains broccoli, cheese, cream of mushroom soup, rice and seasoning.
Because they are fancy party casseroles, sweet and  seasoned with "ginger bread spices" - meant to go with various meats and fishes which are served separately.

The everyday types (macaroni, herring, "Janson's", penna and ham, cabbage) have a larger grain size.

Seems I've been a bit of a Sloth. Bear with me though as I've only just gotten up with the Sun

Mostly though, that last panel is a Kodiak moment.

I'm sure with the (however brief) return of older characters this comic clawed its way back into the interest of many.
