If you still can’t tell if your family actually enjoys the dinner you make — perhaps it’s time for a Wonder Woman Apron.
Brought to us by Etsy user Bambinoamore — the beautifully designed kitchen wear will either give you the empowerment to beat the truth out of the husband and kids… Or you can tie them up with your golden lariat, which always seems to work in the comics.

To help kids eat healthy and to pay close attention to their bananas — publishing house Carlsen Verlag and Munich-based ad agency Serviceplan created a recurring comic strip printed on bananas.
Using a laser-etching technique to print on the banana’s flesh, the images follow the adventures of Fyfe — a boy who gains superpowers from eating bananas.
Banana Comic Week 2013, where they distributed the free comics to kids in various countries, appears to have been a success. Kids were consistently looking forward to catching up with the adventures of Fyfe, and getting their daily potassium overload.
Breaking Bad is no longer, and Twinkies are sort of in limbo. So, a big thanks to artist Brendan Tobin for resurrecting the two, with Twinkie Me, Bitch!.
The short story, inspired by vintage Hostess comic book ads, combines the recently retired TV show and the imperishable yellow sponge cake into a brilliant spoof.
Coincidentally, there’s about the same amount of lethal chemicals in Twinkies as there are in meth — so, the ending is fully plausible. Well done, sir.

At the time of this writing, there are no fewer than 2,332 superhero movies currently in production. So, it only makes sense that some of our superhero friends would have their own cookbook. Behold, The Mighty Marvel Superheroes’ Cookbook.
The cookbook contains a few meals perfect for helping to fuel the body for some web-slinging and shield-throwing — such as Spider-Man’s amazing “Chocolate Web Pancakes” and The Hulk’s “Hulkburgers.” Because if anyone knows how to compose the perfect meal, it’s going to be a human spider and a giant green rage monster. Check out the vintage cookbook here.
