I call it “asprin” too, for what it’s worth.
With this whole strip in written accents, it took me a while to figure out which misspelling wasn’t intentional.
Hoosier Hotel, so they must be in Indiana. By the way, what is a hoosier anyway?
I believe the official definition is, “a resident of Indiana.” 😀
One repeated origin idea is they were hard-working laborers hired from Indiana by a contractor in KY, whose name was Hoosier. There are others which are less complimentary.
I recently took my dog to a kennel named Hoosier Doggy. I need to get out of this state . . .
It’s a Hoosier thing. Probably best not to ask.
Dammit, that was supposed to include a link to a song, which I somehow managed to screw up. I’m too lazy to fix it, so if you want to hear the song, just got to YouTube and search for “It’s a Hoosier Thing”.
A brand of performance tires.
In Missouri, “Hoosier” has a different, pejorative meaning and has nothing to do with Indiana.
Okay, definitely go see a doctor, get it treated, get it DISINFECTED jesus christ, but actually physically removing the bullet might do more harm than good.
Agador! Where are my Pirin tablets?!
Hmmm, Sal isn’t wearing pants. Apparently Sal is able to help him ignore his bullet hole for a little while at least…
I think I could probably ignore a open head wound if I had Sal with me…
… Jason is complaining about her shirt button being open whilst his speech bubble appears to be the busy covering her modesty in the last panel?
it’s not the peekshow that’s concerning Jacob. His Stuffiness just cannot bear to see a shirt with undone buttons – he’d be just as happy with it either gone completly or buttoned to the neck, but inbetween is just sloppy
Ah, of course. That explains the lack of trousers as well, Jason probably insisted they go in a trouser press to make sure they’re perfectly crease free.
Sadly, no.
Read two science fiction novels and call me in the morning.
“Hoosier Hotel?” “We are!”
Having never seen it spelled before, I legitimately didn’t realise asprin was a misspelling.
Mike Pence is an Avatar of “Hoosier Values”, if that helps.
Yeah, I know.
Actually, pretty much every politician in Indiana claims to represent “Hoosier Values”.
One of the few things I’m willing to thank da Trumpster for is taking Pence off of our hands here in Hoosierland.
Look, Jason is human, okay? 😉

Fun fact:
Acetylsalicylic acid* is, among other medical applications, used as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clots and such.
So using it for pain relief for a bullet wound does, in fact, make you a bloody idiot.
Pun intended.
*Aspirin is technically a brand name, although Bayer lost the trademark in some countries.
