Coffee, cream, and juice.

I have an ongoing habit of teasing my wife over her frothy milky vaguely coffee flavoured hot milkshakes.

Sareen Akharjalian tells it like it is in this episode of Ink on the side.

"if you take a ton of sugar with your coffee, you DON’T like coffee. Trust me, you’re just a sugar addict. Ain’t nothin wrong with that! Just admit it, and come join my Anonymous group for candy addicts."

Seeing the New Year in

And when you're seeing the New Year in or doing any other count down you need to keep an eye on the time.

2 shopping days to christmas

Meanwhile on a secret archipelago somewhere in the Pacific, in their debut on this blog Poorly Drawn Lines reveals the secret of our islands.

Clean skin

From Callous, you may think your skin is clean, but scrub as you like you'll never get rid of the bacteria. Even if you get rid of the surface ones, your inner bits probably have more bacteria than human cells. This works because bacteria are a lot smaller.

Food and camping special

Another myth. Two guys sharing a bed must be head to foot (Strangely enough when I was a  child it was called "Head to Tail" which if you think about it is even weirder) failing which they will turn gay.

 What is it about being gay that it is so easy to become? I've never noticed a strong desire to switch from fish to chestnuts. Are these all tales told by closeted gays who are in denial to explain their lapses?

Allergic to round foods

Another mismatched food comparison from Diesel Sweeties.

Anti-vaccine or pro-polio?

Another from Carbon dating. This time on the anti-vaxxers, challenging them on if they are anti vaccine or pro-polio. I have no idea why we let these people spread harmful nonsense like pro-polio and pro-caries (anti fluoride) without any comeback. I'd like to see them made personally responsible for any harm they cause.

Special food issue

 I found I'd been saving a whole bunch of food related cartoons in this time period. I've bumped a few non food related ones to the next posting but this is basically as it happened in my twisted mind.

First up today we have a debut on bacon sandwiches from Callous Comics.  Callous occasionally makes me laugh out loud but more often just gives me a wry smile. I also tend to confuse it with both Donald Duck and with  the PhD comic. I don't follow Donald Duck and no anthropomorphic animals are in PhD so I don't understand why the confusion.

Telepathic coffee stealing aliens

Another Diesel Sweeties, and another coffee pot runs dry.  What can I say, I like Diesel Sweeties and I like coffee.

Driving in Lebanon

The start of March was a bit lean, but does include my first entry from  Sareen Akharjalian's ongoing strip Ink on the Side about middle class life in Lebanon. It's funny seeing how so many of her concerns are shared with "the West" while some are manifestly issues of her homeland.

Anyone who's ever used the Auckland Motorway system will appreciate this view of the Lebanese motorway system.
