    I had a mask on in the grocery store yesterday and got some weird looks. Like people I’m not afraid of getting sick…

    I AM sick

    This is for you, you morons

    A full century after the Spanish Influenza and we still got to witness how so many imbeciles remain untouched by education and empathy.
    What a dismayingly timeless old comic.

    I’ve only got a single comment about wearing a mask in public. Somebody cattily asking “why are you wearing a mask?” to which I replied “How about you mind your own business?” Did not go any further than that.

    Because I have stupid little bitch-ass immune system, I’m ridiculously susceptible to being sick, which I don’t enjoy. So I’m either 1 germ away from being sick, or I’m already sick.

      One of the nice things about post-pandemic life where I am is the normalization of wearing masks if you’re sick, vulnerable, or just feel like it. Someone shows up at work — or on public transportation — with a mask and no one bats an eye.

      (I’m in the USA in a very blue, VHCOL area, YMMV…)

        It’s nice! I don’t like my health situation being outed, so I’m glad that it’s now less acceptable to ask.

        Unfortunately, I’m in a very red area. My last boss kept exasperatedly telling me that I “don’t have to wear a mask while I’m at work”— which gave me more of a reason to wear a mask at work. Turns out, I was right. None of them were vaccinated, and my boss ended up having a heart attack which forced him to permanently close down the shop. Oh well.

      I got that a few times, and I ignored them, and then they all continued to make loud insults to themselves.

    Hey, you’re taking over Picard’s job :)

    One thing I’ve been surprised about with Everett’s comics after buying a collection is how many I have sympathy for, or connect with - considering it’s over 100 years old (and I’m not particularly a fan of violence as a response to anything).
