Posted this on TOMT but I'd figure I'd better make use of my account here & try to ask here as well.
I remember reading a comic around the Smackjeeves era, where a teenage girl bought a weird food package from the frozen food aisle of her grocery store, and when she heated it up in her microwave- it turned into this like, giant food sludgey monster (pretty much looks like the illustration on It Came from the Fridge but bigger and grey, with a mouth) and then turned into a guy. She then befriended him (since this guy basically now lived in her house) and then had to ask her principal to enroll him in her high school to keep an eye on him. It was sort of a comedy/slice of life type comic, with some funny Fish out of Water moments from the food boy.
I'm not 100% certain, but I think the girl had red hair in a short ponytail, and the art was expressive & stylized, and slightly had more Western cartoon vibes than anime. I also think it was possibly done w/ marker on paper? (Less sure about that one.)
I tried looking up some food-related tropes here, but no luck yet. I'm guessing just because of the timeframe (probably mid 2000s/early 2010s) that it was probably on Smackjeeves, but I'm not 100% certain.
