Comic #358: 2006-01-16
Description
Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
Panel 1:
- A man with short, light brown hair, wearing a blue shirt, is startled and looks shocked as he yells, “AAAHH! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!”
Panel 2:
- A woman with blonde hair is depicted in a comically exaggerated state, showing a graphic representation of damaged lungs. She replies, “GOOD MORNING! THAT’S WHAT YOUR LUNGS MIGHT LOOK LIKE IF YOU DON'T STOP SMOKING TODAY!”
- The man is adjacent to her, looking at her with wide eyes.
Panel 3:
- A clock on a bedside table displays "8:20."
- The man continues speaking in a thought bubble: “Laurie probably thinks I’m weird, but practice is everything, and I need to be ready in case she ever actually does start smoking.”
- The man then resumes speaking aloud: “Now, where was I. Oh yeah… “LAURIE! THE KIDS ARE DEAD! THEY’RE ALL DEAD!”
The comic combines humor with a serious message about smoking and its health effects.
