I'll admit they do often slyly refer back to elements of previous strips, so perhaps a familiarity with the entire corpus is necessary to appreciate them. Or perhaps this is just another illustration of how widely individual tastes vary.

slogger : Is it just me, or does raw celery have a slight numbing effect on the mouth?
Yeah, I see this all the time. It's a really common source of confusion. Celery is a fibrous green vegetable with a leafy top. What you are putting into your mouth is actually a white powder called "Cocaine".
And yes, it will have a numbing effect.
Like I said, it seems to catch people up all the time, it's just an easy mistake to make.

Celery contains a bunch of nasty naturally-occurring chemicals. Phytophotodermatitis is a big problem: people who handle raw celery (harvesting, produce stocking, bartenders) are not infrequently afflicted with it, developing painful rashes when skin that has been in contact with celery is exposed to sunlight.
I suspect there's a lot of celery being grown with the heavy use of pesticides and fungicides. Those would easily cause irritation.
Some of the naturally-occuring chemicals in celery are potent mutagens. Google "celery mutagenic" if you'd like to be scared.

Although many people enjoy foods made with celery, a small minority of people [suffer] fatal anaphylactic shock. … Celery is amongst a small group of foods (headed by peanuts) that appear to provoke the most severe allergic reactions … In the European Union, foods that contain or may contain celery, even in trace amounts, have to be clearly marked as such.It turns out to be related to parsnips…
Until the potato arrived from the New World, its place in dishes was occupied by the parsnip and other root vegetables such as the turnip.How very fibrous the olde European diet would have been. Dinner was a tough chew.

A, the first letter of the Roman alphabet, has occupied that position since the late Bronze Age, when the stylized glyph of an ox's head from which it is descended, ʾĀlep (pronounced "Aleph," which is also thought to have been the West Semitic word for ox), was the first of 22 characters composing the Levantine Proto-Canaanite alphabet.

What does it say that I am now disappointed with any webcomic that doesn't include an alt-text joke?

Also, there seems to be a pretty standard and defined set of webcomics that MeFi as a whole is reading. xkcd. Achewood. Dinosaur Comics. Daisy Owl. Am I missing any? Any chance of smbc making it's way onto that list at any point?

IIRC, there's a video out there of a toddler boy who is fascinated by his urine stream and decides to check it out. And it goes directly in his eye. Fucking LOL.

From the "your favorite webcomic sucks" department: I like xkcd pretty well, but get frustrated by its ugliness (it works perfectly, it is intentional, but it still bugs me). I don't much like Achewood or Dinosaur Comics. This is the first I've seen Daisy Owl, and I like it OK.
Unmentioned: Cat and Girl is terrific.
and I can't miss an opportunity to link to Perry Bible Fellowship, on the off-chance someone hasn't seen it.

While I haven't seen it frequently mentioned on here, I suspect the MeFi librarian cadre may be reading Unshelved.

fff: one of my internet-friends is allergic to cucumber, and thus can never experience the joy that is dill pickles. :(

Je t'adore, SpiffyRob
Course I’ll eat you, I’ll eat you all!
Hehehe, hehehe, f'real
I love beans, beans, beans, beans
Beans, I do adore
Dump a package in yo’ crock pot, or simmer on the stove top
Don’t drop any of them on they floor, yo
I got this Spanish bean with spots on its skin
It makes me call it pinto while I’m shoveling it in
Fills up my burrito and gets all refried
Makes my tummy rumble when I put it inside
I got this black bean, she got vegan friends
A major source of protein for them to make ends
She like, "Pair me with some onions and peppers,
Fajita time you fool, don’t act like you cool.”
I got this Chickpea I use to make hummus
Tahini and some lemon juice smooths it like pumice
My Mediterranean healthy-ass treat
But don’t add too much garlic or it smells like feet
I got this lentil cryin’ out for me to make soup
Or mix it with some curry to make Indian goop
It’s money when I eat it, what more can I say
But damn it burns like hell coming out the next day
Now that's pinto bean, chickpea, lentil and black
That's a kidney bean, black-eyed pea, lima bean stack
Baked beans from Boston, soy beans from Japan
I eat ‘em everyday, that’s my fiber-heavy plan
I love
Beans, beans, beans, beans
Beans, I do adore
Dump a package in yo’ crock pot, or simmer on the stove top
Don’t drop any of them on they floor
I love beans, beans, beans, beans
Beans, say oh my god
I could overthink this plate, dump my motherfuckin’mate
But don’t ever get your cat declawed.

Take a bag of pinto beans. Sort through them, discarding any mutants or small stones. Rinse. Put beans in large pot with lots of water. Add a few strips of raw salt pork or bacon and a tablespoon of crushed garlic. Also add two tablespoons of mineral oil (fart-free beans!) Bring beans to boil, boil for five minutes and turn the heat off. Let sit for 1.5 hours.
Turn the heat on again and boil for about two hours, replenishing water as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve in a bowl topped with diced white onion. Must-have accessory: hot cornbread.

You're overthinking it.

This comic is spectacular and if you disagree, you are not made of beans, you are made of bullshit.
