Some Regrets
at least they didn't die

I want the happiest of outcomes for Emily.
The bleak background really sells it.
It looks like they feel.
Jeph! Your art and story telling keeps improving and keeps feeling fuller and deeper. I'd be super interested in the next round of printed books!
If you can drink coffee and eat ANYTHING you probably aren't badly hung over. (Sober alcoholic, I KNOW hangovers from past experience.)
Soon they might have reggrets.
Or maybe egrets?
Some party.
Grim Dawn: Fangs of Alcohol
I don’t drink. I did get stoned once in the 60s. 1967 - 1978, but just that once.
That's a long stretch of once
Marten: “So what do you want to eat?”
Emily: “ I want a . . . “ I want a . . .
Another secret DnD comic revealed!
Now *I* want an egg sandwich! Maybe with some nice cheddar cheese on thick toast...
I want mine like a steamed Chinese souffle style with dollop of sesame seed oil on that amazing Japanese toast cooked by that ridiculously over-engineered Mitsubishi Electric TO-ST1-T bread oven.
Having a really bad hangover in a vomit green jumpsuit -- Somebody please keep Emily away from a mirror.
Wait, have you vomited that shade of green? What were you drinking, Mountain Dew and plutonium?
Nobody died of a hangover. Nobody was that lucky
What freaking level is she that she can lose 10 hp so often and not be like, making death saving rolls?
Emily actually can't die. She accidentally created an elixer of immortality once while trying to make a banana smoothie. Regrettably the formula is now lost because the smoothie wasn't that great.
There are no hangover cures -- only hangover treatments.
There are also hangover prophylactics. I've found an "extra strength" dose of NACET prior to imbibing tends to give the liver a fighting chance to eliminate alcohol as efficiently as possible. It's a great hepatoprotective ;)
At least it isn't the word 'garlic'. ...ooops...
At least they didn't matching No Regrts tattoos. (sic)
That we know of.
No Marten, no sympathy. Remember, they have nobody to blame but themselves and they deserve no sympathy. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4169
Heh. Jim sure was the best bartender. Not sure about the best sidewalk though, never met them.
At least they didn't die *so far*
Might be considering it though.
Does Martyn know how to make an “Egg Cream?” Failing that a root beer float?
Marten seems like the sort who might fail at making an egg cream by taking the title literally...
Those "-10" actually do show up above Emily's head. Some time ago, when she spun up her green suit, she tried to incorporate a holographic health condition monitoring system. Never could get it to work entirely right, but the "-10" function works, at least.
You're both drinking water and praying to God or whichever deity you believe in.
They would feel better if they went back to cuddling in my expert opinion
As someone who went straight edge at, like, twelve. I am someone who has never had a hangover but I often wonder, don't you technically end up spending more time hung over than drunk? Time wise? I seems very uneven to me.
As someone who stopped drinking over 40 years ago (because I didn't enjoy it): it depends on how long you can stay drunk and awake, and how fast your body clears the toxic byproducts of alcohol metabolism, and many other factors. Speaking as a biology teacher: biology is messy and complicated.
Nope. Not gonna say it. No way. I nominate Bookbeard to say it.
Okay fine, then I *will* say it! ... wait, what am I supposed to be saying again? Whatever it is I nominate Yelling Bird.
Coulda been worse. At least nobody ended up in a new body, amiright?!?
I love that Emily and The Gremlin are friends. 🤣
Partners in misery.
Aw!
choose to act before you remember that last time, it always ends well
I regret that Aimee France took my suggestion for making an egg salad uncrustable sandwich as a suggestion after she made a chicken salad uncrustable sandwich. (Looks really good though.)
I appreciate that she took another tick of damage after saying it herself -- nice touch
They didn't die, because Marten has a lot of ranks in Heal.
he learned it all from an arcane witch of Northampton
Does Marten even serve food there? Or is she expecting him to run out and get her breakfast?
No, and yes.
i'm scared to ask what kind of eggs they use in Cubetown.
Chicken eggs, but they come from roosters.
Ah, yes… Consequences. This strip reminds me of my favorite hungover conversation of all time, which began: “All is strange and vague… Are we dead, or is this Ohio?” (That’s originally a quote from the Animaniacs & as a native Ohioan, who adored that show as a kid, having someone quote it back to me a decade later, in college, nearly sent me back over the edge from hungover to silly drunk. Good times!)
As a fellow native Ohioan, I can see how someone could get those two things confused.
But they both made the decision to be friends!
twu fwends
I like the accurate debuff numbers over Emily's head.
She inflicted 10hp damage on herself just to make a point!
Coffee and breakfast burrito... there's a morning after breakfast...
My absolute go-to for nigh-on 3 decades now.
Neither one ended up with major body modifications. Seems like they have nothing to complain about.
That we know of...
Power Word "egg sandwich" is only a level 2 spell
But it is a step up from Finger of Egg Sandwich
When you really need a Waffle House
I think they only have Tim Horton's.
How much HP does she have and which stats do you think she’s min/maxed?
Well her INT has to be at least 20...
Bacon, egg, and cheese is the ultimate hangover breakfast
closely followed by Irish coffee but that's a bit of a self perpetuating cycle
