Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

For normal pills I don't even need water for pills. I just swallow. My partner always makes me drink it afterward cause you are supposed to.
But those monster size ones! I'm like wtf why not make it 2 smaller one jerks!
If they're the hard pills, you can just cut them in half or even quarters if they're big enough.
Should I schedule my press conference?
This is not always true. Some tablets are extended release and if you break them apart the timing is thrown off. You get a higher dose initially, and the dose doesn't last the intended period.
A family friend learned this the hard way when they were breaking a seizure preventive tablet in half to make it easier to swallow; they'd often have a recurrent seizure about an hour or two before their next dose time.
Maybe I'm making a bad assumption that it was made that big for a reason. It's probably money...
Depends on the type of pill. Something easily desolvable like melatonin will dissolve in my throat of I don't take it with water.
Now that's a bitter taste that comes back up
Oh wow. Makes sense.
