Sheer genius!

Doesn’t that throw your tooth brushing schedule off? You’re not supposed to brush immediately after eating.

Note to self, keep M&Ms on hand at all times for “rewards”.

Just remember to swallow the pills and chew the M&Ms.

Don’t get me started on frozen M&M’s!

Yeah, the M&Ms go good with Metformin.

Hurrah! Color again!!!

Forget it Opal, Earl is a pain a pill won’t reach!

At least I don’t have to take a pill to counteract the bad symptoms of another pill. (Yet)

That is so funny!

I take a bill to lower my blood pressure…washed down with my A.M. coffee…which raises my blood pressure. Hey, that’s balance, right?

Right on, girl.

Earl is jealous.

He hasn’t noticed she’s popping M&Ms?

Don’t waste good M&Ms swallowing them whole. Unless prescribed by your doctor. Or, a good long time researching it on the internet. While snacking on M&Ms.

In my case it would be the opposite: 2 M&Ms and 14 pills twice a day. Stay safe and healthy my friends.

I take enough pills to start my own pharmacy

M&Ms is missing out on an opportunity here.

Wow – That is TOTALLY my Mom.!!!!

Panel 4: poor Earl. Left there holding his toothbrush.

I prefer a Snickers bar for my reward.

Well at least at their age Opal doesn’t have to worry about birth control pills.

There, but for diabetes, go I.

M&M chewables are the best.

I prefer Smarties to M&Ms.

OH, Good Idea!

So how does Rose crunch the M&M’s (to get at the choclatey innards) without crunching the pills?

We call ‘em “Happy Pills!”

Attagirl!

I love that idea!

That’s a great idea. There can be no better way to start my morning.

One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small

I honestly don’t know why they sell M&Ms in resealable bags. I’ve never had to reseal a bag.

Attagirl, Pearl……..

is today national take a pill day?? a handful (pun intended!) of comix today are all about taking pills…what are the odds!…(I gotta go get some m&m’s tho…I’m fresh outta them!)

You can gulp down a whole fistful of M&Ms at once because the enteric candy coating makes them easy to swallow

Have a wonderful day my friends.

Best idea she’s had in a long time.

I’m gonna try this!

But…..M&Ms aren’t rewarding if you just swallow them!!! You don’t taste the chocolate!

Everyone sing: a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down…..

That’s how I’m translating – one passage or page – one news article, piece of comics or stretch of a game. Otherwise too tedious.
