Godzilla breath at it’s worse, or best, depending where you’re standing.

Well you didn’t get Novocaine in the other end kiddo. Just wait. It’ll be worse than a “Flaming Moe.”

Novocaine never had that effect on me. My mouth might have been numb, but my throat could still feel!

If I tried to eat something before the novocaine wore off, I would either bite my tongue, lips or inner cheeks. Sometimes all three.

They should try doing that before going to the dentist. They’d be all fired up.

One great thing about reruns: no topical news.

I fell into a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down and the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire, the ring of fire

When I make chili, I always tell everyone, “And tomorrow you’ll know what it feels like to be a rocket.”

Usually cannot eat with novocaine.

I’m surprised he’s not dribbling it all down his chin… that’s usually what happens to me with novocaine.

Ooooo, this is goina be a hot one.

I just drool myself.

Novocaine doesn’t help with the stomach issues. I had to eat two Tums after reading this strip.

I expect to hear claims that novocaine fights the virus, but you have to snort it.

you may not feel it, but the damage is still being done

Jason likes a little taco with his hot sauce…

Does Novocaine dull your sense of taste?

Unrealistic. I mean, can you imagine Andy serving the kids tacos??

Makes you wonder how much hot sauce a dragon uses…

I make a ghost pepper chili. I divide it up into individual half cup servings and freeze it for later meals. My brother-in-law loves it. When I make up a gallon batch I usually give him a quart container, which he proceeds to eat entirely at his earliest opportunity, his face bright red and sweat dripping down his forehead. I’ve never understood that. The reason I limit myself to a half cup serving, usually on a baked potato or a serving of spaghetti, is because my tongue has gone numb by the time I’ve finished it and there’s no point in eating something you enjoy if you can’t taste it.
