    A bucket of water might work better.

    Doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of water around, above ground at any rate. Their prescriptions are easier to read, however.

    Well, that prescription could have said: STOP WAIT TILL WE GET THE SPIT READY.

    I have often thought to go to Troglodonia, so I could be the smartest & best looking guy there. Then I realize what happened when I came to Earth….

    His particular health care plan doesn’t cover prescriptions for water. However, if there was a generic equivalent …

    This saves the Troglodyte government a whole lot of money. Here, we would need to take his temperature ($100), do a CT Scan ($2000) (I’m making these numbers up…it works for the President, it can work for me), give him a pregnancy test, draw blood and wait for the lab results to come back…all to avoid lawsuits after the fact. [I’m opposed to bringing politics into a strip comment gratuitously, but here the comic itself seems to be political so I hope it’s okay.]

    Ray C - Tim Rickard very slyly keeps jabbing at political issues so I think you are safe.

    shouldnt healthcare be what everyone is entitled to instead of a political issue?

    I couldn’t help noticing that the burning guy is mostly cut-and-pasted from panel 2 to panel 3; the flames and most of his body are exactly the same, but with thicker lines in the last panel.

    Gweedo: That sounds like “Water Lite” to me. A better substitute would’ve been dihydrogen monoxide, but that has been banned because accidental inhalation of small quantities can cause death, it’s a major component of acid rain, it is a major component of many biological weapons, and every single mass murderer has been known to have drunk large quantities of it. But it is one of the best materials for quenching fires.

    To get water, the fire needed to not be a pre-existing condition according to my HMO

    Good advice — even better if he could read.
