Art supply stores are heaven! :)

Today's cameo features Tickledlion.

Poor Andrea. Tor might end up on the couch after that.

Oh boy... He anesthetized himself. You know, this makes me wonder how much of Tor's character in their S&S show is actually just the real Tor being himself...

Also, the clerk at the register seems awfully unconcerned that Tor is basically collapsed in Andrea's arms. Does that happen alot at that store?

Bruce B. • 08/20/2017

Lots of solvents are also anesthetics. With nasty side effects, but IOACS so we'll ignore that and file it under Rule Of Funny.

So pour Tor into a shopping cart and get what you came for, you can bring the empty cart back tomorrow. Just hope his stripes don't get read as a UPC Code.

I dont have a very nice history with turpentine.... i see tor has just figured out that he doesnt either.

Squeak, squeaker, squeakest.

Well, we now know what causes Tor to squee!

Robin Bobcat • 08/20/2017

I used to work in an art supply store. I have seen the squee. The squee is real. Not so much the turpentine. (most of what we sold was the less-nasty green can stuff)

No-one's commented on how the title of this strip references a TV show? :-)

There is a light "problem" in the third panel : we can see a circle around the pupil in Tor's left eye , showing how mad he's becoming with the sniffing idea ; but the same is missing in the right eye

@ Antarian_knight :

I bet Tickledlion has seen such things , and even worse , at the store

@ Jan :

Tickledlion has a "squeak" translater ? ^_^"

@Kangaar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0evlWSY8kTc I watched this when I was in middle school :D

FermentedSkunk • 08/21/2017

This is why I can't go to art stores... I never leave without spending at least $100.

Katnik • 08/21/2017

Let's hope that eraser can rub out a turpentine hangover. Been there, not much fun.

Ephesus • 08/22/2017

I like Bruce's idea, it's practical. However that wouldn't happen here, the comic being for comedy. At least if Tor died now, he'd be happy forever. Just look at that muzzle, it's grinning even in unconsciousness.

@Panther The "problem" is intentional.. conscious artistic decision :)

Panther • 08/23/2017

@ Jan :

This makes the problem out of madness , but more "drug addict" for Tor ^_^"

And I thought only we have to suffer from shopping...

Dawn the DrMooID: Mooo. Moo mooo MOO. nods (Translation: Panel 3. Boys and their toys. nods)

My last girlfriend used to give me that panel-3 look... whenever I stopped in at Home Depot. Still... this seems familiar somehow...

Dawn the DrMooID: Moo MOO moooo, MOO mooo. (Translation: Broken Plot Device, June 2011.)

Oh yeah! Lizardbeth’s (never offer to buy her a coffee) defunct Broken Plot Device comic. Something about her finding a new art store and having an ‘artgasm’ or... something. O_o

The SQUEEEE is real folks... just like that look of ‘the crazy’ in Tor’s eye from panel 3.

Oh yea, I forgot to note this: the genders are reversed from the earlier arc with Jan and the girls.
