Taskman

The Ghost of Genitals Past.

Turambar

now this is good comics

Jam Warrior

Warning: Reported side effects of Espeon include nausea, headaches, dizziness and swelling of the eyeballs until they pop out of their sockets.

Vanilla Coke

I knew a guy with a terrible case of Typhlosion.

cB557

Art seemed different this time.

RisenPhoenix

As someone who works in healthcare this is all too accurate. Plavix and Lasix already sound like they belong to the same evolution series.

SethTheHuman

Thank you. This will definitely make CNN at the work breakroom much more enjoyable. Well, their ads, at least.

Skull2185

Cialis used harden.

Vyolynce

Reminds me of a Sporcle Quiz (EDIT: and its sequel, apparently).

Finnish_Line

Warning: Gardevoir may cause drowsiness.

Sterica

Genital Gengar, also known as the Dream Eater.

Neuroskeptic

Love Gabe's hat.

Descendant X

In the last panel looks like John Krikfalusi grabbed Mike's pencil and drew Gabe.

This is not a bad thing.

Jasconius

i wish that drugs were named like pokemon

that would be a hell of a lot easier than having to type the shit i have to type on a daily basis

aripiprazole aripiprazole aripiprazole

Enlong

I used to use an Aripiprazole, but he's weak to Stealth Rock.

Showsni

I told the doctor I v. sore. He looked in my Meowth, then put me on a Butterfree diet and said I'll Raichu a prescription for Ledian. Side effects include Drowzeeness, Skittyness, and a general sense of Gloom. I tried Gulpin the pills down, but Machoke reflex made them hard to swallow. Maybe I should Throh them away and try Hypno therapy instead...

Embassy

His genitals are immune to normal attacks! That's awesome! And immune to poison! Even better! However, I don't want to know where you have to wear your Mega-Evolution stone.

Popped over here to just say I really love the art on this one (in case Mike is reading). Then I read the comments and really looked again and the characters do seem to be drawn differently. Like not off their character reference. That's not a criticism, though. Wonder if he's experimenting. Maybe it's just because they're being drawn without their hair, which is kind of a big deal to their design. And with trenchnose/trenchear (which makes sense here because of the cold). It may also be that Mike has to figure out how to draw them without the hair and it's throwing him off. Tycho looks much more manly. Maybe it's because his eyebrows are more prominent now that the hair is gone. Maybe it's the Popeye coat arms.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me to find out in the newspost that there was a guest artist.

miaAusa

they all do sound like pokemon like lexypro and xanax

Finnish_Line

Those hats are going to be in the merch store in 3 2 1...

Don't be silly, of course it's Mike. He's just enjoying busting out a more whacky cartoony style occasionally in recent strips. More power to him.

Gaslight

I like how the art and action are sort of a callback to this comic.

Commander Zoom

Ambien, I choooozzzzzzsnnnrrxxxxxxx

Shadowhope

Meanwhile, an estimated 50% of Americans take at least two prescriptions.

Gotta catch 'em all.

Geth, do...something. I don't know. I don't know.

Picturing each one I take as a little pokeball could lead to the need to take more for depression. But on the other hand trying to imagine pharmaceutical conglomerates as a huge group of expert pokemon hunters trying to catch them all and imagining what each one would look like sounds like a fun game. Also as someone who moves between the Great White North with its dry minus thirty some and the Pacific North West with its wet zero or so, Celsius since I'm Canadian, I would totally buy that toque if you guys put it up in the store! Get on that our else I'll have to learn to knit, and by then it will have warmed up again and I would look silly wearing it but wouldn't stop,being so proud of finally making it.

likalaruku

My doctor warned me there'd be weird side effects if I took Deoxys while on Munchlax.
