Time mixed cream cough for a berry filled drop.
Yeah I should’ve hyphenated cream-filled to maybe break up that consistent gap.
I would literally doodle these on a notepad, take a photo with my phone, jack up the contrast, then put the text in using my handwriting as a font; all in ~10 minutes with barely any QA. I’ve been meaning to remake/re-draw them, but I know myself and the more work I put into it the less I’d enjoy it.
It's totally not a big deal. I think it actually adds something to the comic.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one

At least for me the river between the words made me initially read it that way, too
You have an extra / in the link
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_(typography)
On Piefed (and I think lemmy?) it doesn’t display the link properly if I don’t have that extra \ (it’s there to cancel out the final parenthesis, so that the markdown knows it’s part of the link)
Not sure if it is correctly rendered by all clients, but you can try wrapping the links in < and >.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_(typography)>
... becomes

It is referred to as autolinks in the CommonMark specification.
Thanks for the info! Your example does display correctly on Piefed 👍
Don't dead open inside
The spacing and my lack of glasses had me read it as "The mixed cream cough, for a berry filled drop."
Reverse (transposed) "Don't Dead Open Inside"

Latchkey kids growing up in the 1980s:
“Want some candy?”
“Sure”
tosses them a Vics
“…What is this?”
“Cherry.”
I grew up in the early 2000s and I remember kids my age passing around Vics like candy and even then I never understood it. I understand it even less now as an adult
This is me with the morphine based cough medicines.
Given my lack of self control with sugar and sodium, I’d probably OD on propofol if I had unchecked access to it. I can sleep for eight hours without any noisy neighbor or birds waking me up? What’s the catch?? Except the OD part of course.
The other catch is constipation
I do love a Ricola. I can't think of many strongly herbaceous foods in the U.S.
Yeah, I specifically buy cough drops that don't taste overly good for that reason now...
I knew I wouldn't be disappointed by these comments.
