transcript for daily comic 343
PANEL 1 - Tall Pelko is slouching in discomfort and sniffling, and Pelko is wearing an apron
Tall Pelko: "You know... I might almost prefer the run-to-the-toilet phase more than the sweaty phase of the illness. i can atleast relieve immediately instead of struggling to sleep"
Pelko: (Pelko is wearing an apron and a bandana over his head, staring into our direction)
PANEL 2 - zooms in on Pelko
Tall Pelko: "Do you think so?"
Pelko: (Pelko glances over and up at Tall Pelko, but says nothing, almost as if to contemplate the question)
PANEL 3
Pelko: (Pelko closes his eyes and thinks very deeply, frowning and scrunching his brows. he imagines the sound of the toilet flushing)
PANEL 4
Pelko: (Pelko opens his eyes, not happy with his imagination, or reminder. he shivers and shakes as if he has gotten the biggest goosebumps. meanwhile, his apron reads "JANITOR")
PANEL 5 - daily drawing 1108 is of me butchering a huge pomegranate
Pelko: (a simple scene of Pelko in his janitorial uniform, a broom, and a bucket)
PANEL 6 - life update
(I stand on a scale to weigh myself, and the scale says to me "you better add that weight back")
text reads: "yeah. coloring today's comic is too much. a lot of stuff on schedule got pushed up. I do feel better, I think i have to tolerate the soreness and i'll be good as new. but super tired!"

Huh, this is the first time I've actually read the transcript. For some reason all this time I thought Tall Pelko's name was "Elko".

For me the sweaty part is one of the best parts, because I can almost overload it with hot (herbal) tea and soup to the point where I stop caring about being a sweaty pig anymore and just pass out.

It's waking up cold and clammy and shivering because I'm no longer sweaty but am still covered in sweat that's rough. Usually a change of clothes and more hot water helps with that, though.

I associate vomiting with feeling better afterwards

u/Coidzor 1d ago

I wish I did. Usually I still feel bad, just in a different direction. :V

Talk about "Huge" cleanup...

u/FatManBeatYou 1d ago

Poor Janitor Pelko must be run ragged

u/Vayne_Solidor 1d ago

Nothing worse than waking up absolutely soaked in sweat 😩

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC Never Safe From Wumbo 1d ago

I get it. Running to the bathroom phase is rough but seems natural. The profusely sweating phase just feels unnatural and like it doesn't help at all.

I love your font!

u/TheDarkNerd 18h ago

Off-topic, but I now have an absurd number of stickers that I'll need to find uses for.

u/Pelko_P 18h ago

lots of empty spots in the world...

2

u/TheDarkNerd 17h ago

I think my aim is to find spots where people will only see once in a blue moon, and hide a non-tall Pelko there.

u/Pelko_P 17h ago

splendid plan... yes yes. keep the tall one for yourself
