SWIMSUITEMBER RETURNS!
It’s been a hot minute, but Swimsuitember is back with a bunch of fun ice cream-based themes!
As for this comic…
Well, this is going about as well as anyone expected. And for those wondering, Emily is still in the store just out of frame. I just pulled in a little closer with my framing to accentuate the sense of ‘Colin being all on his own with this’. And to cut down on drawing labor.
Why not? It’s labor day here in the states.
Here in Canada too. And the best labor … is poorly done labor!
That’s what I reckon too, “If you’re gonna do something then do it poorly so you can get paid to redo it properly” /s
Ugh, that actually hurt to type out. I’m more of a “measure twice, cut once” kind of guy and “If you’re gonna do a job then do it right”
Your old-fashioned work ethic sounds exhausting.
I’m surprised that a Canadian English teacher spells “labour” incorrectly… lol
The Internet is America. When you’re on the United Internet of America, you spell everything like Americans or get get constantly chastised by them for spelling it ‘wrong’.
‘…constantly criticized by them for spelling it ‘wrong.’ Well, in keeping with the Americana theme, all I say is, “It’s America, Jake. It’s America.”
I would NEVER! But yeah, some of my countrypeople would. We’re a weird people and I’m sorry that many of us are annoying like that.
Hmmm, I kind of think that after four hours, most women wouldn’t care how it’s spelled. Just that it’d be over as soon as possible.
Roger, Roger. What’s our vector Victor?
Aren’t you glad that’s over, Oeuver?
Do we have clearance Clarence?
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
Oh, hey. Congratulations on getting buy without Phoebe’s dad noticing the comic page count.
Our anyone else for that matter.
I’m a sly devil.
Word play. Now that’s a horse of another colour.
Could at least have moved it “under” the counter and then come back up with it. I can convincingly fiddle with machinery.. but I warn you that the result’s resemblance to any beverage, living or dead, is purely coincidental. This beverage contains coarse grounds, and should not be consumed by anyone.
Something similar will likely come of Colin’s attempt to make a drink.
If asked for coffee, I’ll respect the spirit. They’ll get water and some No-Doz.
It is always best to be prepared no matter what happens at work…
Exactly.
Doesn’t anybody in the younger crowd take their coffee black anymore?
No. No they don’t. This is partially why the coffee is so nasty at Starbucks: no one orders it. They order caramel macchiatos and the like.
I take my coffee with a dash of milk. I used to love the cream and sugar, but with the amount of coffee I drink daily, I realized long ago that I was basically consuming the equivalent of five chocolate bars and three sticks of butter just through my coffee.
But it’s been a long, LONG time since I’ve seen anyone under forty take it black.
I know a streamer who still takes it black, pretty much for your reasons. They’re also a big fan of cold-brew coffee. (that’s just grounds, ice, and patience) They might be 40-ish by now, though.
Also, Starbucks seems like a step UP because the majority of people (in the states, at least) are used to coffee that’s sat in the pot all day at the office or in a diner.
I tried for black, but none of it was my speed. Never been a hot beverage person. (I’ll drink hot Tang on rare cold occasions, though).
I just opt for pill form, or in a popular beverage that would be giving me diabetes if I weren’t drinking the diet form that uses an artificial sweetener that would possibly give me brain cancer if it could bypass the blood-brain barrier.
Hot Tang? That is … about the worst thing I have ever heard.
“It hasn’t gone anywhere.”
I have. Well, my migraine has
I could swear there are other hot orange drinks. I figure that’d be similar. Usually I prefer cool or cold beverages, but then I also like ice cream in the winter, so… yeah.
Ice cream in winter is a little unusual but I understand and sometimes partake. Hot orange drinks, though, are an abomination. And hot Tang? I’m pretty sure that’s classified as torture by The Hague.
I saw this kind of coffee described as a “hot, wet, candy bar.”
Don’t drink coffee myself. Never liked the taste. I take my tea straight.
I miss tea.
It hasn’t gone anywhere.
Some day, I’ll tell you the sotry of how my dad learned to drink coffee.
I used to drink my coffee with double cream. I’ve worked my way down to a dash of milk like you. I like being able to taste the coffee… and being able to see my feet
In my head canon, Stoney Creek Dairy is still a going concern, so I HOPE that’s where Robin got her ice cream cone.
Unless they drove to Hewitt’s in Hagersville, but the cone would have melted on the way to the closest beach (although Robin looks like she’s posing against a backdrop)…
The beach ain’t real.
And yeah, Hewitt’s is one of the last places around that will make a decent malted milkshake. Haven’t been there in a while, but boy do I miss it.
Sounds like an excuse for a family trip.
BTW – Roma Pizza had it’s 70th anniversary this weekend.
I heard. And they’re expanding.
Sounds like a place to hold Puck-con. Not that Puck would have one.
I’m a touch confused, is this a coffee shop or a nerdy merch store?
Also, hi fellas. sorry I was MIA for so long. It will happen again.
To answer your question, yes. And yes. It is many things to many people.
And we are all happy to have Buggle back, even if only for a moment!
You could make up for the lack of Satan by having him show up in 676, claiming to have overslept
Hey Buggle.
Yes, I can. And I do. This is what happens when you work with teens. You forget how to lie.
I work with teens. I still am very adept at lying.
You’re also an artist. But O.K., I may be wrong. I’m just thinking teens aren’t much a challenge.
They are the most challenge, to my mind.
You would know better than me. I have no idea where I was coming from.
Until this moment, I had not contemplated the perils of combining nerd culture with coffee culture.
Don’t cross the streams man!
That is so most singularly uncultured of an order than I’m going to tell you to leave and never return. That’s not a request, that’s not a demand that. My dear. Is. An. ORDER. Begone, I shall be leaving a scathing yelp review of the most uncultured ill-mannered brat to attempt to make an order here. And a pox on you hat. p.s. I have a zero-tolerance policy for such orders.
This passes for a standard order at the local Bucks across from the university where my daughter insists on going. I listen to what the girls order. (They’re mostly girls.) This is actually a slightly more retro request. If I were going for ‘authentic 2022’, it would definitely be some sort of matcha thing.
Hazelnuts and vanilla are both sweet, which is everything she’s not! 😉
I refer, of course, to Pikachu girl.
That’s why she needs them. To counteract her sour face.
“You know that what you eat you are, But what is sweet now turns so sour.” – The Beatles (George Harrison) 😉
I like that song.
