I get that Batiuk wants to relate to the "I never exercise, because it's so hard! (because I never exercise)" crowd, but Funky's been running regularly for years; he shouldn't still be going "wow is that what exertion feels like?? I want to die" every single time.

He hasn't realized he has a terminal exercisoma

It's still in use today - possibly only in the UK and Canada, though. Do we know where, if anywhere, this is printed?

It's a webcomic, but Achewood did that with at least Roast Beef's voice and it really added to his personality, all just slightly smaller than other text and with no punctuation whatsoever.

I can't believe they are making an entire week out of chocolate big. It's not even like that in my experience as a retail store chocolate connoisseur.

In reality, the manufactures like to add more empty space inside the package so that they can charge you more but actually it's the same amount of chocolate or less.

I think Moe in Calvin and Hobbes had a different font. I am not sure it's as unusual as you might think, but judging from this one strip this comic looks like it makes much more frequent use of the method than most.

Possibly the safest as well. During the spider verse story arc in the comics that had the villain hunt and eat as many versions of Spider-Man as possible to gain power, the main villain actually wandered into the newspaper comic Spider-Man's universe. He eventually gave up because of the nature of repeating everything after and it would take days or even weeks to do anything of consequence.
