How would you use it?

Throw it at people, of course.
Good gad, you fiend!
I wish I’d have thought of that…
See, I was thinking about a dog a friend used to have. The dog had a plush pumpkin (heh) that… ‘got a lot of use’ by the little guy.
If there’s going to be a cumsprite plush, it needs to be based on one of these.
“Turnips are awesome.” The hell? I must be missing something, but this one seems lame^2. Anyone?
No you’re not. A number of her cartoons recently seem to feature non-sequitur virtual anti-punchline endings. Not sure if she’s trying for some meta-humor but not all hit the mark. I kind of liked “turnips are awesome” as it turns the joke on it’s head, but that’s just me.
I thought it was funny, the guy could have all the physical pleasures he wants in paradise, but instead returns home. To his turnip farm.
Much like those stories where the hero/heroine leave the fun fantastical world to go back to their boring homes (The Wizard of Oz and The Neverending Story both spring to mind)
I think the idea is that turnips are his only reason for wanting to return to human lands, and that he likes them more than the wild orgy of indulgence he’d get if he’d stay.
I laughed. I guffawed. “Turnips are awesome.” Heh.
I laughed, it’s just my sense of humour. I’m not sure if he’s desperately trying to justify his choice, or truly content with his life, but it’s funny either way.
I don’t get frog2, can someone explain it?
If fairy tales, the usual cure for a curse is a kiss. Only this time it backfired.
Reminds me a bit of an old story. A young fisherman saves a young mermaid from certain death. As a reward the mermaid takes the man to her underwater kingdom. The man is happy with the mermaid and her people, but after a while starts longing for home. The mermaid is saddened by this but agrees to let him go even though he can never come back. Before he departs the mermaid gives him a gift with the instruction not open it before he gets home. The man comes home to discover his house is gone and the landscape has changed. Confused he remembers his gift and opens it. The gift turns him into an old man. The end.
There was more to it I think, but I can’t recall. Was a long time ago I head the story.
It’s sort of like in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels where at one point Rincewind the Wizzard developed an obsession with potatos. ETA: what Captain_C and Chronos said.
(Paraphrasing)
Captain_C: ‘There’s no place like home.’
Chronos: ‘He likes turnips so much that he’d rather have them than the orgies an’ shite.’
I like Chronos’s take because it’s just so weird that someone would like turnips so much. My initial take was this: The guy really doesn’t like turnips, but it’s what he has. So he creates a fantasy to convince himself that he’s really better off in his humble existence. This is similar to what Captain_C opined, but the character doesn’t make a choice to leave the paradise; he just imagines that he was there and refused the option to make his own home ‘the best of all possible worlds’ (to crib from Pangloss).
The title of the episode is ‘Felicity’: ‘Great happiness; bliss. A cause or source of happiness.’ This leads me to believe that Chronos’s interpretation is closer to what Ms. Cooper had in mind.

Oh! This is hilarious. I especially liked the one about Simon the legless 
Sigh. Okay I can see the joke, better than I did yesterday, but I it still seems like an anti/meta joke and IMO not funny. Whatever. You can’t spell ‘coral’ without ‘oral’ after all.
Also, why is the Hero holding a pitcher in panel 1? He saved the Land of Indulgence wielding a pitcher?
The new comic is up.
So the cake WAS poisoned, after all, and the ambassador wasn’t just trying to get Ivan to suck his cock (again).
