Sometimes I really do wonder if Batiuk is just outright not capable of recognizing when it doesn't make thematic or contextual sense for his characters to be smug assholes. For example, when they're stuck at the DMV solely because they failed to notice their license expired over a year ago.

Hello, and welcome to the Ohio BMV fun fact corner.

- If you renew your license after six months of its expiry, you must obtain a temporary permit and re-complete all necessary testing.
- You receive mail notification prior to your license expiring
- Ohio BMV offices are not filled with dry, snarking losers eking out their last days before death with stupid smug one-liners, but rather normal state government employees.

More BMV fun facts:

- Cash or check only requirements are only for certain functions of the BMV, of which the driver's license is not one.
- The BMV actually takes your license when you renew it, meaning that they only ask for changes in information.
- gently caress that smug prick.

My stepdad spent a few days in the hospital after accidentally flushing all of the electrolytes out of his system, so I'm siding with the strip here.

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.

If his fluid intake was already subpar it's entirely possible to seriously dehydrate in a comparatively short time period. At the point where he's fainting it'd be pretty irresponsible for that doctor to let him go without an IV.

Finally, incidental knowledge gained from living at altitude in dry climates pays off.

Dad totally fainted, so we didn't take any chances. He also totally didn't have insurance, so we didn't let him hear the end of it.

It's like that one time a lady in Mary Worth got her wallet stolen and had to contact all her credit card companies and a bunch of us were like, "Oh, poo poo, that would be a total pain in the rear end! We better make a list of our credit cards, just in case!" Newspaper comics serve an important educational function and should continue to be supported.


Not a "lister," an rear end in a top hat. But I recognize that the writer of Dustin does not know the difference.
