Slight change in the lyrics. "My milk brings all the boys to the yard And they're like, it's better than yours Damn right it's better than yours I can teach you, but I have to charge"

Stress urticaria is fairly well represented in the literature, estimated to affect up to 10-20 percent of the population at some point in time, whether from heat stress, exercise stress, or emotional stress. Associated bronchospasm is rarer but possible as large histamine release from the catecholamine response can cause mast cell degranulation, which leads to an asthma-like presentation. This has not ever been found to cause life-threatening anaphylaxis from an emotional response, although there has been one case since the 1970's from an exercise induced response. The treatment - as Jeph accurately presents - is inhaled beta-adrenergics (albuterol), antihistamines (Benadryl) and in severe or refractory cases, corticosteroids, either inhaled or injected.

I can provide citations, if anyone is interested ...
That’s worrisome…
Oh Emmett, you anxious lil bean. I love you so much. Sincerely, a vaguely-masculine parent type person.
Anaphylaxis requires epinephrine not just antihistamines
THAT is a great point. Although this is a cartoon, if in the real world a person had such an incredibly rapid, serious response to stress I for one would be on the phone to get an ambulance.
Emmett reminds me of my daughter. They're adorable and so VERY STRESSED.
Should her mom be saying "aboot" instead of "aboat"
The "oo" sound is a stereotype. The sound of "ou" in a typical Canadian accent is more of an "oa" sound as Jeph is showing here. My wife is Canadian and she sounds very much like this, though her mother's accent is a lot stronger, and is also like this. tl;dr, it really is more "oat and aboat," rather than "oot and aboot."
From C.S. Lewis “When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
Tako Tuesday Comic!
The numbering of the IDs in the URL on the website is off. It breaks the next/previous buttons.
How’s the numbering on the EGOs and SUPEREGOs?
I guess we keep Emmett away from the robot dermal fixative
Surely there must be a precious cinnamon roll support group by now?
"Mom! They're not CARTOONS, they're ANIME!"
I tell my wife that I'm watching SIlly Cartoons... and proceed to watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
Wah!
Waluigi Time!

The dangers of the 4th wah!
Wah!
Emmett: flustered but innocent
I think Emmett’s mom should be better attuned to this sort of thing? ( w a h )
I hope both of them gets a big hug and maybe a full day of nothing exploding. It seems like they need it
I hope Professor Becky makes the kids her world famous chocolate bean brownies with a chocolate tofu ganache.

Did Emmett's mom just trigger hives in them? That is not cool.
No she did’t. Sam brought up UR and their mom reassured them it was fine. Sometimes (often!) teens are just anxious.
Emmett being a takodachi just makes them even more likeable! I don't watch Ina much, but she is great! I read this comic while listening to an Ookami Mio karaoke stream. Jeph's posting on twitter about vtubers definitely didn't contribute to me falling down the Hololive rabbit hole...
oh no stress asthma :( that's a bit scary.
Not sure if "How aboat..." is a typo or her accent getting more pronounced with stress.
If Emmett doesn't want to move back to Canada, it's definitely accent.
ANXIETY’D!!!
Ow! My stomach lining!
I was embarrassed I watched Inspector Gadget, but was totally into robotics.
Penny was my hero when I was little.
Emmett, on some bright day you will be able to substitute coffee for cortisol. Also, one of the advantages of becoming an adult is being able to do kid stuff again without social stigma
It all comes out now, JEPH
Takodatchi shirt!! Wah!
[obligatory thirsty comment] The hips on Prof. Bennett though…
I'm wondering if Emmet's mom may have overreacted to some their antics in the past, and thus be the source of their anxiety issues. And bless Sam for being so supportive and accepting.
The ones involving the police bomb squad, the fire department, or the physics police for misdemeanor offenses against natural law?
Yikes. Emmett, you sweet panic gremlin, you have to breathe. I’m starting wonder if this is an anxiety disorder, or if it’s a reaction brought on by past trauma. I’m worried for them.
I'm wondering that too...
I'm in my 30's and I will still PROUDLY watch and cry over cartoons! Thank you very much!
54 here, and a lifelong fan of cartoons.

I read Teen Robot Mystery Squid and now I want that to be a thing
In that case, they should be wearing an ikadachi shirt.
Are they teen robots who solve mysteries, or teens who solve robot mysteries?
Maybe they’re teen robots who cause mysteries.
Emmet needs all the hugs and head pats.
And probably a Xanex!
Oh boy. That’s some severe stress hives. How cute is it that Sam accepts them and shares their interests.
"Emmett, have you considered you might have an anxiety disorder?"
ANXIETY DISODER?? ::WHEEZES HARDER!!::
Testimoniary . o O (I like worb)
Corrobalate
I love how their mom is such a gentle soul, and poor Emmet...oh you sweet summer child. We know you're crushing hard on Sam.
Wow. I didn't know anxiety could cause an allergic reaction.
Bodies are weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh this poor anxious bean.
I'm wheezing just watching
