I especially enjoy the comparison of phlegm to egg yolks.  This is a good description.  It's also a little jarring to have all these random frames with Onstad's voice coming out of different characters and things.  Also, a garlic bulb smoking.  As if garlic doesn't already give you bad breath as it is.  Fantastic.

I feel a bit strange about the veglegon violence here, but this strip is pretty great otherwise. Great choices of art to reuse!

I think the last 2 panels are new. I don't see anything familiar, anyway.

I had a school project once that I did a similar thing with.  I was supposed to make a slide show about spirituality in my life or something, but I blew it off until the day it was due, then grabbed one of my Dad's carousels that was loaded with beach vacation pics.  I told some story about how I must have gotten the carousels mixed up, then b.s.ed my way through a couple random slides of my brother and I sliding down sand dunes.  The teacher finally told me to stop and sit down.

So is that last guy Onstad's anthro-avatar?

I like breaking the fourth wall as much as the next guy, but I dunno. Wasn't the last time he did this the Téodor c*ck one-panel?

The Oblio reference automatically makes this awesome.

I kind of wish the art style matched the drug-induced stream of consciousness style of the writing. That would have been some shit.

What a ripoff. Totally reusing the art there, he is.

Get better, Onstad. Being sick sucks.

I've never heard of Oblio.  Google seems to point to a pointy headed character... care to elaborate for those of us who are clueless Tashiseisie?

Oblio was the main character in The Point, a hippyish animated feature with a great score recorded by folk singer Harry Nilsson.

The message of the movie: it's ok to be different.

I am a huge fan of The Point.

It was like getting high, for kids who didn't know what getting high was yet.

So many puns on the many meanings of the word "point".
