Question: does Todd’s trolling of Pohl involve only what he ‘said’ he made, or was he actually making those for himself? (If it’s the latter, it raises an interesting question of how separated it can be between what Sarnoth people perceive as good smell and what they can actually consume)
I can relate, I like the smell of rubber to begin with(tire and bicycle section in the shopping mall is oddly endearing to me). The difference being that, usually I like those smells “knowing” that they’re not “food smells” – while Pohl seem (my interpretation) to think what he smelled was food.
On the other hand, I guess if I had grown up without ever having seen a rubber product before, it might not have been impossible for me to assume that was a “food smell” as well: it might just boil down to past experience and knowledge of the smell.
Now if there’s a fish that happens to smell like eggplant parmigiana…..(the evolutionary biology geek in me wants to start investigating the families of molecules usually responsible for smell and how they evolve in the plant and animal kingdom respectively)
So well done! The wind-up, the pitch, the swing, and Dave knocks it out of the ball park! (Of course, if yer in north side Chi-town, Wrigley Field ain’t that big of a challenge, not like Komisky Park). So funny! Yet for some reason I put my coffee down before reading this comic, so, there’s no spewed coffee on the screen today.
I respect the crap out of Pohl. Hes a doctor, engineer, wonderful husband and father, a good friend, teacher, and gave no f***s about cutting off his own finger webs so they wouldn’t hold him back from his profession. He understands so much about sacrifice yet hes so cool and chipper. I stan Pohl. POHL FAN CLUB MEMBER
The last panel may very well be one of my most favorite things ever. 😊
I too have a new favourite phrase. ^_^
Why are Pohl and Sai Fen the best gdi

I like the smell of an engine block, the feint smell of cigarettes, and coffee, by far the most inedible thing on the list.
Though what in the great lake could smell like eggplant parmigiana?
Never tried eating an engine block.
I’ll try anything twice. Because no one ever gets it right the first time.

I love how Todd is just wrapped around himself laughing
I think that was his dinner, the Sarnothi guests and Selkie are having the nuggets.

the SASS is strong with these people Is Snark and Sarcasm a Sarnothi racial trait? or is it Clan specific with Selkie picking it up naturally?
+1 for murder-shaming! XD
Not sure if Pohl’s gesticulation is deliberate irony or unintentional reference to: https://youtu.be/0QDKLglEP5Y
