   Reminds me of one of my Dad’s Navy stories—why he learned to drink his coffee black.

   Haven’t we all been there – what’s a little saliva between friends?

   Hey, smitty smedlap- COTW! Good going, guy. And, I must say, rich, no, we haven’t all been there- I’ve never done it, nor has my husband. Eeeeewww. Josh, I definitely won’t be drinking milk at your house, thank you very much. Now I have this image of you and Amber regurgitating your various milk and milk-like products back into their own containers, drinking some, spewing some back, etc, etc, ad infinitum. Thanks so much, I really needed that. BTW, soy milk tastes like beans to me- suggest to Amber that she try almond milk (if she’s not allergic to nuts)- it’s much better.

   Vanilla Rice Dream is ok on cereal, if you have to.

   Replace Jamaal with Mary Worth, and it makes sense..

   sort of.

   Plati-spew.

   spew, you know, like spit.

   Boy, it’s so quiet around here when Beasley doesn’t have any power in Boca to turn on his ‘puter.

   This thread reminds me of why I’m so glad I live alone.

    Y’know, I live alone and I’ve never drank directly from the milk container; nor have I ever deliberately backwashed. That’s just nasty. Talk about an “ewwww” factor.

    Sing it, Islamorada Girl! Whenever I feel lonely and sad, I shall think, “Spitting milk back into the carton” and my spirits shall instantly lift.

    Zorba, you can be sure YOU don’t spit milk back, but how can you be sure about your DH? (And beans is why we drinks soy milk!)

    Oh dear, I’ve sowed marital discord. Where’s a platitude when you need one?

    A college roommate once claimed that the liquid at the bottom of a bottle of Coke was 90% saliva. She could not explain, however, why that saliva was still Coke-colored. Fortunately, the Coke in question was not hers. (Maybe her Coke’s dregs were 90% saliva.)

    (ps: now the comments box is where it belongs, re my earlier comment on the metapost that follows this post…)

    Apropos of nothing about Herb and Jaamal or this post, I’ve created another of my Photoshop comic mashups. May I present, For Pinhead or Foob:

    Please don’t tell you-know-foob, lest I get in trouble for it.

    seems to me that, tree climbing beavers aside, the Phantom has left his hat on the hotel bed. Isn’t that a bad-luck move? Meanwhile the good Dr. Morgan seems to be a little down on his luck. Aren’t most medical facilities these days self-contained air systems? Aren’t the windows supposed to be unopenable? And here he still has the airconditioning unit in his window. It’s October for gods’ sake. And is that a framed heart scan he has mounted on the wall?

    Milk of any kind, be it cow, soy, pig, or whatever, is a vile substance. Mix it with human saliva, and…ok, I’m gagging now.

    Great job on the For Pinhead or Foob strips! I’m sure you’ll be hearing from Lynn’s people shortly.

    That is so gross. I am glad my DH doesn’t drink out of containers even though I love him. Ewww.
    I love the strip you made Dub LOL
    Also I like this new format I can read without a magnifier.
    One of these days I will get brave and share my own all original strip.

    Is anybody going to comment on the fact that, apparently, Jamaal is delivered milk by a 1950s milkman?

    How about the fact that it was after he drank the milk, checked that the bottle was empty, then heard what’s-her-face state she hoped he left some milk for her, at that point he spit back into the bottle. What was it, all spit? I don’t think he was holding a mouthful of milk that whole time. Who fills their mouth without swallowing?

    Sorry, but what does DH mean (outside of baseball)?

    #11: La Belle, my husband is a molecular biologist and, I assure you, would never do anything like that because he is overly aware of infectious diseases (come over to my house some time for a hilarious evening on health statistics regarding how many people are killed each year by which disease). He would never even let our kids, when they were little, drink out of his glass of juice or milk, not just to prevent them from catching his germs, but to avoid their backwash in his drink.

    I expect scat humor in my comics, but this is really gross.

    Am I the only one who noticed that Jamaal and Mrs. Jamaal still have their milk delivered to their door in bottles?

    sick sick sick…. & I have a question… Does it make sense that we treat milk so different (especially in the gross out category) than any other drink? Practical jokes involving milk are just plain wrong. I can only drink milk out of something ceramic (never glass or plastic). Weird I know but the nature of milk causes us to do strange things.
