Yes, we’re on Twitter and Facebook, thank you for asking!

Check out the epic storyline The Lost World Of Sid & Marty Krofft, and be back here this Thursday, October 2, for our 100th strip, kicking off a new story that will culminate in our one year anniversary on October 22!

While I’ve never been what one would call “healthy,” I’ve managed to make it this far in life without any major, life-threatening illnesses or injuries. I’ve been largely free of allergies or other ongoing medical issues…with one exception. Some people are nearsighted, or gluten-intolerant, or asthmatic. Some, like Mowrer, are all three. Some lucky bastards have peanut allergies. Me? I get sneezing fits after I eat.

It’s called Snatiation. It’s a real thing. It’s much less common than the Photic Sneeze Reflex, which turns up on r/dae damn near fortnightly. Even the limited medical research into Snatiation – which wasn’t even identified until 1990 – has been somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

For as long as I remember, I would have what I resignedly called my “daily sneezing fit” – three-to-five robust nosplosions in quick succession, leaving me temporarily lightheaded, but otherwise unaffected. It led to the exact scene depicted in panel 2, back when Mowrer and I shared an office and he made that hand-lettered sign to save his voice. After I ran across the term on the internet it made sense – it always seemed to happen to me in the afternoon, about an hour after lunch. With that, I was now equal to my lactose-intolerant friends.

My name is Richmond. I suffer from Snatiation. It’s about the most ridiculous medical condition a person can have, which is my existence in microcosm.
