Suggested wine pairing: port.
UPDATE
It took all Wednesday night to decide on an ending for Thursday’s comic, so it’ll be up Friday. (This is the biggest surprise in the last 30 years, I know.)

Those are the cutest little stick-figure evil spirits* ever. That one even rolled his eyes.
also this has to be how we all feel whilst using q-tips for the purpose they are clearly for, even if everyone says not to, because they wouldn’t be on long sticks otherwise.
*and one uric spirit I guess.
Haha, q-tips were exactly what I was playing on. Did you know that the Latin word for the pinky finger basically means “earwax remover”? I’m, like, 45% sure that’s true.
Glad I picked up what you were puttin’ down. Man, that was so plausible I believed it. I had to look it up, and in the process I discovered that the term pinky finger comes from Dutch, though they don’t explain why.. just that it also means a one-year-old calf, which makes me wonder if “pinky rats” aren’t called that because they look like a pinky finger, but maybe it’s t’other way ’round!!!
I actually read something a week ago about what the Romans called their fingers! I don’t know how true it was, but the Latin term for the smallest finger certainly varies from the Dutch!
I assume the Dutch refer to the pinky as, more or less, “the smallest finger to exist in our beautiful, egalitarian society, where the people are free and the levees are increasingly insufficient.”
