#703 – Reflected

Chapter: Comics
There are lots of different child-proof lids now. I don’t get prescriptions that often but it seems like each time I do it comes in a new type of child-proof container. I always have to struggle with it that first time until I learn the new sequence of muscle movements required for entry. Fortunately I don’t need anything in a magic-proof lid. I don’t think my pharmacy has that yet.

Mirror mirror on the wall, how will I get my Tylenol
I’d also be concerned about the mirror watching me going to the bathroom…
mirror’s feelin fine
@Speaker
Do I look like some dumb sap? Just squeeze and twist the bottle’s cap!
Sorry but…..I…don’t get it.
Am I missing something?
@Kurast
A dumb sap thou may be, replying thus in poetry.
I’m with poundcake on this one, what the farmer?
My parents get the ones where you can screw the lid on upside-down to make a secure, yet not-child-safe (read: not impossible to open) seal.
@PoundCake: The magic mirror is a pill-popping junkie. What’s to get?
Unexpected things?
Samurai – don’t know what to expect between him and his food
Cyclops – don’t know what to expect as a gift
Sloth – don’t expect all seven sins to be present at once (weakest one)
Mirror – don’t expect the medicine to disappear
No idea, really. It’s Biff, though so not having any idea of what’s going on is expected, really…
there may not be a theme this week. Ah well, it left room for some great miscellaneous comics. It might be a good idea to have some themeless weeks.
Biff has a lot of pill bottles…interesting mirror chemistry. Wonder if it reflects like fun-house mirrors. You know a magic mirror could be quite a handy item; lose a few pounds, and vanish random clutter. Probably dozens of uses. Am at a loss for this week’s theme. Shall just enjoy the art.
Ideas that just don’t work out.
@Space Butler – There is a theme this week, just not one of the more obvious ones.
as a kid mum always had us open the child proof bottles cose she couldnt
Old stories/legends week.
Good as always.
Amen, Chris!
It pains me to open my regular medicines (some are so hard to open, they really think that kids can be THAT strong?)! And everytime that I get a new kind of medicine I totally hate openning it (that’s why I have bought a basket full of diferent sections to put my medicines once I open them).
The most contraditory thing is that I don’t even have kids at home (it feels like they are anderastimating my mental capacity)!
-_-“
Sorry if my english sucks, I’m from Brazil, ya know…
……. I remember the good old days when guessing the theme for The Book of Biff was fun and always and adventure….. I also remember when I went to school, I had to walk up a hill…. Both ways…. Now, it is a battle of wits…. At first, I thought it was going to be ninja week. Now, I think it’s story book week…. And I have a feeling that tomorrow will throw off every idea I have…. Does anyone have any clue what the theme is?
Stories from around the world? Is that the theme? (Not sure about the sloth one…)
Is the theme:
Hard things to open sometimes?
Little Obstacles in life?
I think sloths are South American
Fantasy week? Samurai, Cyclops, fairytales, magic mirror…?
How about powers we always wished we had? Not quite, hmmm… samurai/lunch, cyclops glasses/2 eyes, sloth/rage, now you see it/ now you don’t for the mirror one, it’s sort of like opposites.
Sorry, I don’t quite get this one…
What does the Magic Mirror do?
Hmm do I give the answer or to wait until Fridays comic is up…..
@ becket
That is hilarious.
I have had regular medication since childhood (ADHD, OCD and other ones i cant spell) and the bottle cap has never changed.
@AFriendOfMine – Give them one more try 🙂
Mythology Week?
Fairy tales / mythology week.
Last guess…? curse of random circles & ovals? Soup can, glasses, tummy & plates, mirror, will tmrw have eggs? My brain has officially inverted. C’est fini.
hahahahaha! magic mirror in the bathroom?! haha
A magic mirror, which has the power of…
?
(sorry)
Oh I get it. The pill bottle’s empty because the mirror took them. Nice.
The Lids open up easily if you just pull strong enough.
Closing them? Who said something about that? 😀
I know this is an old comic, but you can get non-child-proof lids. My mother has arthritis and gets all her meds like that.
Since my bad headaches started when I was young I learned how to open child-roof lids when I was a kid. On most lids there’s pictures as well as words it wasn’t that hard to figure out.
Strange, i’ve only ever needed pills ONCE.
In my whole LIFE.
…or that might be because i never tell anyone if i feel ill.
Ive also never broken a bone.
Magic mirror in the bathroom, do you prefer it in this room or that room? (*couldn’t think of a funny rhyming thing…*)
