4th of July

Last Friday was the 4th of July.  In the US, it typically entails lots of food, bevs, and then fireworks. Some states you are allowed to own and set off personal fireworks. In some other states, this is illegal (and other states allow for some but not other).   Where we went, there were a number of people setting off their own fireworks. Including our host, who's wife works in a hospital. She had to work that night, and we joked that we would be seeing her sooner than she would expect. The next day, the news had a number of stories about injuries and accidents that occurred because of people setting off fireworks (both legal and illegal types). This brings this all back to the idea that we all should have been seen at the hospital for various firework injuries  

I was afraid that the joke in the Comic wouldn't be understood, so I did a test run with a co-worker who has never read any of my stuff or really knows my humor. We work fine together and seem to get along just fine, so I had her check it, and if she laughed I would post it. She did, and I even asked if she got it to which she confirmed. Hence, it went up. My nightmare of course still came true when Greggle's basically asked what the punchline was after reading it. Therefore, my fear is your gain. You now get a bonus comic that I drew last year, but holds true specifically today's weather. It is frakin HOT out.... Demotivation is high (link brings you to the same page, bonus comic is under original). The changing of my art work is pretty visible I think.
