You have to admit, Miles knows how to be tactful about Kevin’s halitosis.

Took me a second to get that lol

“They call me ‘Yuck Mouth’ because I don’t brush.”

The man has tack

Wow, friendship like that really stinks.

Crest Extra Heavy Duty Tar-based Toothpaste would seem useful….

Easily the most polite way to say, “Your breath stinks,” ever.

Who can gargle real Listerine the longets?

You know what they would be staring at now a days

Dental hygiene is essential and fun.

Not necessarily. There’s still the odd “staring off into space thinking of nothing in particular” going on with kids. Tho’ I have to say, most of it is staring at a screen of some sort, with no thought at all. Which is not the same as thinking of nothing!

That breath of Kevin’s has got to STANK if he’s asking for a teeth brushing competition.

Here’s a tip, breathing through your nose is a lot easier if you put your tongue on the roof of the front of your mouth.

Don’t forget the mouthwash.

We had a kid in our class in elementary school who had chronic bad breath. To the point that someone nicknamed him “Breath”. And it stuck. And he was goodnatured about it. He signed my final report card cover when we graduated sixth grade. I still have it.

That’s two comics, so far, that feature best friend tactfulness. See ‘Agnes’. It’s good to see them being nice, not that joshing around isn’t fun and inclusive. Just being kind once in a while is cool.

Or you could see who can eat a whole bag of Sour Patch Kids the fastest. That would ”freshen” your breath too, and be way more fun!
