In
the late 1970s, Embry-Riddle students did not enjoy anything near the
food service that they have today. When this strip appeared in April of
1978 featuring a cook swatting a roach with the same spatula that he used
to flip burgers, it drew an immediate reaction from the food service manager
who stormed into the Avion newspaper office demanding a retraction. When
he was informed that the cartoonist was actually standing in the food
line earlier in the week and had witnessed, first hand, the cook actually
swatting a roach with his spatula and then pointing it at the next student
in line and asking, “What’ll ya’ have?” before returning to flipping burgers
with the same tool... the demand for a retraction of the strip was dropped.
