Alrighty then...

Tobacco companies sue FDA over new warning labels.... which include a picture of a diseased lung, or a dead smoker.

The FDA went the "Frumpy the Clown" route? (This was a comic where, as an effort to get Frumpy to stop smoking, other characters showed him pictures of a diseased lung, and so forth.)

Wait, someone else knows Frumpy?? Hell yes!!

[kierthos]

Yeah, man. I got the two Frumpy collections sitting like five feet away.

[drougnor]

Wife and I discovered Frumpy through the Barry Ween comics and also own the two collections as a result.

[kierthos]

I have a few of the Barry Ween books too. My brother mithras got me started on those years ago.

A few and not all? THIS MUST BE FIXED.

[kierthos]

Well, I can't find a couple of them.... don't know if they're lost, or just hiding well.

[thedeadcat]

Ah. So you own them already, but they migrated? Suckage.

[jdack]

Right. Because we don't already know what can happen from our smoking, so we need a big hideous picture of it staring at us all the time. Brilliant.

All that's gonna do is make me switch to indian brands.

[drougnor]

Dude, If I still smoked, I'd be trying for the full set. "I'll trade you my Marlboro Black Lung for your Newport Jaw Cancer!" Seriously, I don't see why they're fighting this. It's marketing GENIUS! Pokemon for adults!!

[jdack]

Lol.
