I ended up taking twice as much (so I’d only have to have it once a day, instead of twice) and made myself sick – serious nausea and sweating. So, now I’m a little scared to take it.

TRANSCRIPT:

Panel 1:

(There is a caption at the top of the panel, which reads:) Joe’s been taking this herbal potion for about a year now.

Joe: (A person wearing a red neckerchief, a pale olive shirt and a blue cardigan, who is facing the viewer, with eyes squeezed shut. Mouth is open, with slightly downturned edges and tongue sticking out. One arm is raised at the shoulder and bent up at the elbow, hand open, palm facing up. The other arm is raised at the shoulder and bent forward at the elbow, hand wrapped around a bottle.) Bleecch!

Sam: (A person wearing a pale blue, collared shirt and a grey vest, who is facing the viewer, but looking at Joe. Eyebrows are lowered, one more so than the other, and mouth is open, with slightly downturned edges. Arms are crossed across Sam’s chest.) Oh come on. It’s not that bad!!

 

Panel 2:

Joe: (A person who is facing the viewer, but looking at Sam, with raised eyebrows and an open mouth, which has slightly downturned edges. One arm is raised slightly at the shoulder, and bent forward at the elbow, a bottle is in Joe’s hand.) It is! You try it!!

Sam: (A person who is facing the viewer, but looking at Joe, with raised eyebrows and an open mouth. One arm is bent out at the elbow, its hand on Sam’s hip. The other arm is bent up at the elbow, with one finger pointing towards Sam, and the others closed in a fist.) I don’t have to! It’s your potion. But I know I wouldn’t carry on like you do.

 

Panel 3:

(There is a caption at the top of the panel, which reads:) I got sick in Dunedin so Joe sent up a care package.

Sam: (A person wearing a dark red t-shirt, who is sitting on a grey couch, facing the viewer, but looking down at the care package. Eyebrows are raised and mouth is open. Arms are bent forward at the shoulders and elbows, the open care package in Sam’s hands.) Ooh! How delightful. Oh, the sneaky bastard sent me potion!

(There is a ginger cat next to Sam on the couch, its ears are back, and eyebrows lowered.)

 

Panel 4:

Sam: (A person who is facing the viewer, with eyes squeezed shut. Eyebrows are lowered and pushed together slightly, and mouth is open, with tongue sticking out. One arm is raised at the shoulder and bent up at the elbow. In Sam’s hand is a bottle with the words ‘Sam Orchard Potion’ written on it.) Blecchk! Yuk! Ew!
