Recent news from the Bacon Nation…

  • Scott Kurtz of the webcomic PVP is having guest artists do strips for him while he recovers from illness. A recent guest strip involves a character who randomly gets attacked by a panda. In one of the strips, the character fashions a suit made of bacon to keep the vegetarian panda from attacking him. (Thanks to reader, Jason).
  • Duff Goldman, the Ace of Cakes, was recently featured in an article in USA Today. When asked what food he likes to travel with, his response was “I like to travel with food that’s not too messy and not too greasy…(but) what I really wish I could travel with is bacon. If they invented a way to travel with hot fresh bacon, I would travel with that all the time. Unfortunately, bacon’s something you have to have at home or in a diner or something.” By the way, I think Duff needs to do a bacon-themed cake for his show on the Food Network
