It's so hard to not wake my roommate by my laughter. This one really made me laugh. Especially the 2nd and 3rd square. LMBO at "correct"
ReplyI still think this one is my favorite. Usually I enjoy these, but this one got me to laugh pretty loudly, both times that I read it.
ReplyLOL@ wide open eyes.
Replylmao this was the awsome-est of these comics
Replyomfg this takes the cake. so far. LOL
ReplyMan you guys are pussies. I went to work on real psuedophed for every hour of the day for a week last time I had a cold. I was tired but otherwise normal.

I think you aren't quite getting it. People take OTC cough medication for a chemical compound called Dextramethorphan. If you've done way too much, It's like you're drunk while on e while tripping balls. This is probably about being on a lower plateau of that said high, at which point you'd still have to try pretty damn hard to act normal. Psuedophedrine and Ephedrine are mild amphetamines that don't really alter your state of mind.
lol you tried to seem tough and now you just seem rude and dumb sarahofborg. congrats! :D
umm... it affects the brain... HAHA! :D
So funny, as I am high on cold syrup while reading this! I am so happy right now, I'm super energetic, have a new guy in my life, and I haven't slept in two days! Life is awesome!
Replyyes but are you "aware"?
I gave the bald guy the voice of Coach McGuirk from Home Movies.

lol f*gass
Harumph, stupid indeed, almost as stupid as your face, I bid you good day.
nice and short.
ReplyI think the writer should think about creating every comic whilst high on cold meds. It obviously upped his game.
ReplyLove the 'aware eyes' hahaha. Also I'm going to start saying that 'I'm as sleepy as a lemur'.
ReplyAmazing. I'm going to start answering "aware" to all those people you see in passing that ask "How are you?" and clearly have no intention of seeking an answer.
ReplyDoes this apply to being at school as well? Because last time I was high on cold meds I was at school....and uh..had to leave class because I was laughing at everything the professor said. That and I kept passing out between my fits of laughter -_-.
ReplyI usually find these decent but this is hilarious. Good job sir.
ReplyPanel 3 actually caused me to laugh out loud. You've won this round, BI.
ReplyI miss the comment hate speech, it made an average comic laugh out loud hilarious, maybe they followed advice and actually stopped giving the comic page views.... right, as if.
