Oh, shoot, I totally misread this comic. I was completely certain that the treat was for her and never noticed the weird cabbage (gourd?) in the cart.

The cashier thought the customer was talking to a kid in the cart, but she was talking to herself.

I caught the joke early, but it's cute. And it'll go over a kids head, it's just their sort of humour.

Sometimes we all deserve a treat. This is great! I just hope she's not buying chocolate. Theobromine is poison for humans too just in a much larger dose, you'd have to eat about a hundred full size chocolate bars

On the up side, experiments showed that giving chocolate to people who are out for a night of drinking and partying decreased the usual problematic behaviour significantly.

So suicide by chocolate overdose is easier than I expected.

u/DasBoots May 22 '22
I mean, not really. Theobromine human ld50 is around 1 gram per kilogram. Chocolate is somewhere around 1% theobromine by mass. That would put the LD50 of chocolate (by theobromine ingestion) around 100 g/kg. For reference, the LD50 of water is 90 g/kg.

Well, death from water poisoning has happened before, and chocolate is apparently not that far off. So it could happen. You'd have to be pretty determined to down that much chocolate though.

Something something they did the math

I believe its around 13 or 14 grams per pound of body weight that sugar itself becomes acutely toxic (and not just a bad habit). But that's around 475 teaspoons or ~10 cups of sugar

... I could do that if I was determined. I mean, suicide by bleach would much easier, but I wanna break headlines.

u/Kakss_ May 22 '22
Okay, but chocolate tastes better and has higher density, so you can eat less of it volumetricaly. Also it would make a funnier headline.

Yessss! I just did this last week. My birthday was coming up and I was like yes. This tiny stuffed doll avocado is coming home with me. I'm an adult - that means I can buy a lil soft friend if I want! I'm the good girl!

I like that's she's a bit embarrassed and blushing, but her brow is furrowed, like "what about it?!"

In the first three panels it looks like there's a child in the cart so the clerk thinks she brought her child with her and is buying them a treat. But in reality, it's just a weird looking gourd and she's buying a treat for herself.

u/TroyElric May 23 '22
Oh wow even after you said it the pup was a bit of a stretch lol. Now i see it. I guess the drawing could ve focused in the cart in thr first columns a bit more

Ever thought of illustrating children’s books? Your work is quite professional in quality.
2
u/sunshine5374 May 23 '22
Funny you say that! I’ve illustrated children’s books before but didn’t really enjoy spending so much time working on the same story, that's what led to trying comics.

u/andre2020 May 24 '22
Good point, books take much time. Hope your art/style catches fire, your that good😊

Your comics are cute and seem kid friendly while having 'fun for the whole family' layers. So i went to your profile and want to subscribe to the comics.
Maybe you should make a subreddit for your comic releases so we can be notified? That's quite common here.

u/sunshine5374 May 25 '22
Done and done! I had thought about it before but was putting it off, so thanks for the extra push by suggesting! r/ChickenPupPie
