Dude, her destructive ability was unleashed by removing the pickle from a Subway sandwich. “Cooking” has the weakest definition possible in this case, including sandwich-making.
Not even directly involved with the cooking, all she has to do is make a suggestion! Is this a super-power or a magical curse?
And if she looses the power of Food Ignition, does she lose the power of Hypno-Boobs, too? Obviously Bucky can’t be allowed to lose her powers! (Abnd I think Alex would agree with me.)
It was noted as a curse a long time ago, it was done to her by the Married-witch-with-a-demon-baby, but I don’t think she is aware of that.
It has also become worse over time, but it may have reached a plateau now … or not.
Josie existed as a character before Buck first demonstrated her cooking ‘skills’ (She first appeared in strip 229, Buck first shown cooking in strip 241), but she made her debut as the Desperate Housewitch in strip 277.
Josie didn’t appear as the Desperate Housewitch until 277, but as Catelf pointed out, she began studying magic to become a witch in strip 239, exactly two strips prior to the first demonstration of Bucky’s cooking prowess in strip 241.
In 239, Josie commented that it would take a long time to learn enough to become a witch, so whether or not the time between 239 and 241 was enough for her to learn how to place such a curse on Bucky is debatable (and unless the writer reveals it, unknowable), but it’s possible that it could have been one of her early practice spells.
To me, it looks just he’s glad he’s not in trouble for having created a deep well shaft where the grill is supposed to be standing just because he tried to ignite the coal with his eye lasers.
Oh no. This is really dangerous. It was bad enough when even putting pickles on a burger caused a roaring fire. Now, Buckaress doesn’t even need to talk about her own cooking, but rather, responding to a question about food somebody else is going to cook causes a fire. At this rate of progression, soon any time Buckaress mentions a food item the closest building will explode. Next, her thinking the word “food” will set off nuclear explosions. Her cooking fails are a threat to life on Earth!
As Buckaress/Eve is capable of literally burning water ( http://superredundant.com/?comic=241-cook-off ), I wonder why the can in her hand isn’t on fire. Is it because she wasn’t talking about this in particular?
I finally get it.
KEITH is the reason Laser “Pony” is not Laser Stallion and one of the premier heroes of Shitropolis.
He refuses to step up as a proper sidekick.
(Revelation on watching someone else use buckaress to start the fire,… he’s known this for months!)
Anytime Buckaress is involved in cooking food (and as has been mentioned above, “cooking” has a VERY loose definition), it instantly bursts into flames. Her girlfriend has found an upside to this.
First!
And it’s a GRILL, not a barbecue!
Well, she just lit the fire because of her ability to set fire to anything she cooks.
You have no idea if he’s going to let the flames die down and use the lid or not :p
That said, doesn’t Buckaress have to do the cooking to set the fire, not someone cooking for her?
Nope – she merely has to think about cooking
I hope she never fights a villian in a cake factory.
Granted she could easily destroy an evil giant monster pillsbury boy.
Or fight Doctor Cake. Man, he’s toast.
Or fight Professor Toast. It’ll be a piece of cake.
Just use her against the Condiment King.
Ooh, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. Toasted marshmallow for everybody!
KFC, extra crispy recipe.
Wait, does baking count a cooking in this case?

Different country, different meaning.
I just noticed that that comment might be a callback to comic 569:

Can’t be the witch doing it, because the first time it was shown happening was well before she was even introduced as a character.
Weeeellllll……

The first time Buckaress has noted cooking problems comes After the housewife decided to become a witch, and after, the witch comments on having done something without having cast a spell visibly before.
Plus the witch didn’t seem particularly creative or competent enough to come up with a curse like this one.

Desperate House Witch?
What would be funny is if she’s a hell of a Bartender…
…Until someone points out Mixed Drinks are a type of ‘food’, so a Bartender is _technically_ food-prep.
No one going to mention how demonic LP looks, as he stands over the grill..? No?… okay.

Btw, her presence isn’t necessary at all – mentioning her name will do ( http://superredundant.com/?comic=504-meatballin )

Some men just like to watch the world burn.

Ah, clasic (smiles satisfied)
