Small panel: The Argyle Sweater today has a Cheetos mascot leopard sneezing a bunch of orange dust onto a drinking partner with the same “Gesundheit” caption.
When I was in Germany once upon a time learning German, I was surprised to see the word Gesundheit used as the name of a chapter in a book. That prompted me to find out its meaning; it wasn’t what you might surmise at its use over here in USA.
And Germans are surprised to hear that we say Gesundheit after someone sneezes.

What does gesundheit mean literally? – healthGesundheit was borrowed from German, where it literally means “health”; it was formed by a combination of gesund (“healthy”) and -heit (“-hood”). Wishing a person good health when they sneezed was traditionally believed to forestall the illness that a sneeze often portends.
