TEXT OF COMIC:

If "Trix are for kids," then Kix are for trids.

What?

I think that "trid" should enter the language as a word for the kind of child who willingly eats Kix cereal. It could be a synonym for "sissy" or "mama's boy."

Why do you think only sissies and mama's boys eat Kix?

No self-respecting kid eats something so bland. There's no such thing as "low in sugar, kids love it."

Yes, it's "kid-tested and mother-approved"-- the kids tested it and didn't approve it, and the mothers approved it because they never had to taste it.

The type of kids that would agree to eat Kix are so excessively obedient, they probably don't even play in the mud-- which also fits nicely with the fact that "trid" is the reverse of "dirt."

Actually, I've always liked Kix.

Well, you're entitled to your own opinion... you trid.
