Talk about today's strip, or anything about the comic in general. You can also talk about any of the characters... but don't expect a response. They're FICTIONAL, you guys... sheesh. :)

If not for ear-cleaning, what the hell are q-tips even for?

I guess they are like cotton balls but with a stick, use them to apply peroxide, or to finish up your boot polishing.

Hm... I was wondering what the hell he was doing there for a moment... and since when can Q-tips damage your ear canal when used right? I mean, geez, sticking that in your ear that deep isn't exactly a smart thing to do in the first place...
If I'm posting, then that probably means I'm naked cause I just got out of the shower. ^_~

I use the pantented Deacon's Ear Cleaning Tool, also known as the "Earwax Tampon". Instructions:
  • Remove three squares of toilet paper from the roll.
  • Fold in half so that you get two layers of TP, one and a half squares long.
  • Fold in half again that way.
  • Keep folding in half till you can't really fold it anymore.
  • Then fold it in half the other way.
  • Then grip the ends (one end between the thumb and forefinger of each hand) of the result and twist in opposite directions, almost like how a piece of candy is wrapped.
  • Grasp firmly in one hand and rotate/twist it as you insert it into your ear, twisting it in such a way that it stays tight and twisted instead of unraveling.
  • Then use the other end in the same ear for good measure or, if you've got everything on the first pass, use the other end in the other ear.
Much quicker and easier to use than Q-Tips, covers the entire surface area in the canal in one pass instead of having to push a Q-Tip around in your ear like a damn toothbrush, is inexpensive, and is more effective.

Deac. I will be trying that tomorrow morning.
You are my savior today. I can almost forgive that you'll vote for Bush.
Almost.

I stand corrected.
My humblest apologies. :)

Oh, and I also feel the need to say. If you're writing in, seriously, it's just a vote for Bush. Might as well vote for Nader. All's I'm sayin'.

Dreamer, in Texas, a vote for anyone is a vote for Bush.

I have to say all this about Qtips damaging ear canals, I agree it can.... if you do it wrong. Everyone has a fear that doing something will kill them eventually but in all honesty, as long as your smart about it, and don't do anything in excess you'll be fine. Everytime I do something I hear "You know it can kill you if you do that" or "You'll be blind if you do that" or "You'll loose all your hair if you" Man pretty soon I'll be hearing "You know, if you breathe too much air, it can cause cancer..."

It's like the carb diet. People thinking carbs are the only thing that causes obesity and it's EVIL! OMGZ nooooo!!! But it's not. Carbs in moderation are just fine. Everything in moderation is fine... just don't do it in excess. If you eat rice for breakfast, and a loaf a bread for lunch, and 4 baked potatos for dinner - you MIGHT be doing it a liiiiiittle too much :P

Or in the case of Q-tips, don't do it in excess (yes cleaning your ears with q tips EVERY DAY is bad for you) or jam it so far in your ear you need needlenose plyers to get it out :P
