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.
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)
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
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.
Time mixed cream cough for a berry filled drop.

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

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.”

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.
I knew I wouldn't be disappointed by these comments.
Yeah, I specifically buy cough drops that don't taste overly good for that reason now...
@Ephera @doug wait they aren't candy? Woops
