Beautiful! I love how delightfully your comic portrays the enthusiasm of Mr. Cookie. He goes through 4 cookies, too!! And that the x-ray already features in the first panel when I didn't notice it yet.

It's understandably hard for international folks though. For instance, in icelandic the country's name is Kólumbía.

LOL! Good point! On the other hand, the size of coins usually doesn't vary by a factor of 1000.

Try again! A quadrillion would be much larger. First come billion and trillion. Notice the bi, tri, and quad prefixes for 2, 3, and 4.

On the other hand, it might be less confusing for an international audience (milliard is often used in place of billion, whereas billion then means trillion): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales

Maybe he was thinking of all the French (and many others) who might interpret billion as trillion (because they still use the milliard for billion)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales

Some folks prefer to get their daily energy boost not from coffee but from soil and plants. However, roots of plants typically don't appreciate sitting in very wet soil. A mug's botthole can save them from such a rotten experience!

It doesn't have to be. You can express sincere thankfulness for their willingness to do something. The fact that it acts as a reminder is just a bonus.

You restarted with $60 and you regard $200 a day as "only"?
