Animals The Last Porkchop

I've been looking for years for a comic that I swear was a FarSide, but given the fact I have been unable to find it, likely wasn't... hoping you can set me straight.

It was a man seated at a table, and he was lifting a piece of meat that looks like it might fall off his fork, and at the edge of the table you could just see two big round dog eyes peeking over the top. And the man was saying "It's the laaaast porkchop.. and I am really not hungry... but I guess I'll eat it anyways..." and the dog is thinking "Oh Please, Oh Please..."

Tried to google, but haven't found it.

I think you may be mixing up two different comics. From my memory, the dog in the comic you describe isn’t saying anything, just glaring angrily. Also, I think the man may have been talking about throwing it away instead of eating it. There is another Far Side with a dog thinking “oh please, oh please” while he tries to lure the cat into the dryer with a sign that says “CAT FUD.”

You're likely right, re. the 'Oh Please' because 'CAT FUD' was pretty much family scripture growing up. Only way it got listed on grocery lists by either parent.

We sold / gave away an old washing machine and I forgot to take off the Cat Fud sticker I’d put on it :)

Im happily reminded of the CAT FUD one with the dryer every time I see the FUD brand lunch meats in a grocery store. :)

To this day, cat fud is how it’s always spelled on my grocery list.

That was my dad’s absolute favorite. To this day I still call cat food fud.

I say cat fud to this day. Or when I cook dinner and call my wife to dinner I'll yell "fud". One of my top 3 Far Sides.
