Comics Pull-Ooza

You know how if you were a teenager in the 2000's in the midwest and Olive Garden was like peak fine dining. It was a relatively nice restaurant, not overly expensive, but delicious plus unlimited breadsticks with as many calories in them as a candy bar. My favorite was always the Tour of Italy. Why settle for one "classic" "Italian" dish when you could have three. This episode is kinda like that. Nothing this week is "classic" and it certainly isn't Italian, but its comfortable and sits a little wrong after a while.
