    Yo I have a discord where you can get notifications for when webcomics update, and you can also talk about them there and share other kinds of content. Sorry to be a bother.

    Is “creme stick” regional? I’ve never heard the term. Sounds like something said east of the rockies.

      It’s a Dunkin’ Donuts menu item. The most troubling thing I’ve learned in my research is that, depending on the donut, Dunkin’ uses the spellings “cream,” “creme” AND “kreme.”

        Here’s hoping the research wasn’t too fattening.

        what is strange to me is that cappuccino has the two c of creative commons AND the two p of pianissimo, but is nothing like a softened coffee collective creative good

          Thought the name derived from the Capuchin friars.

            It was actually invented in 1830s Vienna at Signor Fuseli’s Zoological Cafe. Punters loved the way Zizi the capuchin monkey just went crazy with the milk whisk.

        As a one time chemistry student, I believe that means that the “cream” is real cream, the “creme” is somewhat less real, and the “kreme” is completely un-real. But further research is required.

          I believe “cream” is actual cream, as in sour cream; “creme” is what they use in place of whipped cream, which wouldn’t survive being put in a bag; and “kreme” is custard, the substance “Bavarian cream” refers to and “Boston cream pie” contains. (Ironically, I think “kreme” is more real than “creme”, but completely un-cream.)

            Well, the “crème” inside an Oreo is really sugared lard.

            Can’t be lard, Oreos are kosher.

            Not anymore. They’re kosher pareve now, so they’re vegetable shortening.

        Either the FDA or the American Dairymen’s Association says they can’t say “cream” unless it’s either got real cream in it or it’s some kind of pastry cream. Creme and kreme usually mean it’s the kind of nauseating whipped buttercream you get in the grocery store that’s made from shortening.

    In another story I’d ask how the Cappuccino machine is still working, but here I assume it’s just due to there being Mads around.

    Jeez! Sloppy, HT: don’t just leave your Mads lying around the swamp after your clone them, put them in the recycling bin.

    Tainter’s deadpan line (panel three) is hilarious.

    If you’re not sure where the strangling vine grove is, head down the path a bit, hang a right at the former wendys with the sticky dew orchids (not to be confused with the wendys with the large snapdragons), passed the things that look like Seymour, and it should be right there on the left.

      We only have one Wendy’s, but two McD’s and Taco Hells and three Subways, so it shouldn’t be difficult to differentiate our fast food with lethal plantings here.

    Looks like he even picked up another knitted “U R Not You” sweater, too.

      I take that back. I was looking at his first appearance, and it’s the same shirt.

        It says “Power Up” 🙂 . It’s the text that was on the shirt I’d worn for the reference picture; I’d gotten it from volunteering at an FRC event (high school robotics competition).

    I forget who said it, but “those who strive to make things foolproof greatly underestimate the persistence and resiliency of fools.”. Apparently this also applies to the disposal of fools.

    By the wayside, a couple of days ago it was implied that the Greater H. T. was in the sewers—but even then, and by now, they seem to be out of the sewers and wandering through ruined buildings.

      Last week, Tip was in a dark place with what’s left of the Cypress. Then HT looked deeply into his eyes, and his world suddenly got a lot brighter.

      The Cypress’s offshoot may have dropped Tip off somewhere outside in order to split him off from his team, but that’s not important.
