Kugai:
I wonder if this is the beginning of a new and interesting arc

--- Quote from: Zebediah on 22 Feb 2016, 12:02 ---I'll just leave this here: One of my sisters is an MD in family practice. When she started her practice 30 years ago, she would ask 14-year-old girls if they needed to talk about birth control. Enough said "yes" that she started asking 13-year-olds. Then 12. Then 11. Now she routinely discusses sex and birth control with 10-year-old girls. Because they need to know.

And as a doctor, she'd actually know how to discuss things properly. I remember when I still played WoW, there was one guy asking in guild chat about the HPV jab and whether it was a good time to get for his kids who were either in that age range, or about to enter it. I answered honestly and completely enough, albeit a bit bluntly about the prevalence of it, and the guy freaked and disconnected immediately. An hour or so later, he comes back on. Apparently his wife had to explain things to him in a less ham-fisted way to bring him back to normal and he said that he was scheduling appointments for the sprogs first thing in the morning.
Method of Madness:
I'm guessing "jab" means vaccination? That's an interesting way to put it, hopefully whoever is wielding the needle doesn't take it literally.

Any evidence for that being the case in-universe?

Just the feeling I got based on the varying reactions to it throughout the comic. Not trying to make any definite statement.

Being terribly afraid of needles, trust me, I'm going to say "jab". The one I got this year for the flu[1]. Got it in my right arm, since I'm left-handed, but since I sleep on my right side, I was pairing a strong night cap to go with my sleeping pill because otherwise the discomfort was too much.
[1]Not concerned about myself, but I don't want to be a potential Typhoid Mary for the immunosuppressed.
