2006-10-13: Breath (Vacwm)
Okay so then...
You may be wondering why Rabid's breath is not visibly bad in the last panel even though it's been established that bad breath can exist in a vacwm.
Easy! There's no-one around to smell it!
This comic is in the storyline:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved.
Text transcript
Rabish: Rabid, you have TERRIBLE BREATH. Rabid: HOW can that BE?! Rabid: We are in a VACWM and no smell can transmit! There is no MEDIUM!! Dr Quickly: Actually if you look at a bad breath under a microscope, you can see that it contains "stuff" -- thus it is its own medium! Bad Breath Particle One: I'm an unruly scent particle! Bad Breath Particle Two: Gonna go up yer nose! Bad Breath Particle Three: RARR!! Bad Breath Particle Four: Me too! I'm very stinky! Rabish: Not to mention that we are not in a vacwm at all, being sitting on a deck. Dr Quickly: A crucial observation! Rabid: My breath is unruly? Rabid: Well! A vacwm makes it rather hard to breathe at all! Rabid: I should have just used mouth-wash.
