- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

The first "real" drug I was on was Cymbalta. As I was leaving the office with my prescription, I noticed a Cymbalta clock on the wall. And then Cymbalta notepads on the counter.
That's pretty normal for any doctor's office. There is almost certainly items from other brands all over the back area where the patients don't go, too. Drug reps go hard on the cheap freebies so the office will always have a reminder that their drug exists. If you ever see someone in the waiting room who is particularly attractive and dressed far nicer than average, that is usually a rep who is there to drop more goodies and shill their drug. As I understand it, it's a very lucrative job.
Fuck that. They aren’t coming near my office. I even bring my own blank lanyard to medical conferences because i’m not gonna wear one with pharma company logos printed on them.
Watch Painkiller on Netflix.
That would just make more more depressed than I already am.
May I interest you in some drugs we're pedalling for a multi-billion dollar corporation?
Peddling.
Pedalling would be for a bicycle and the like.
You sound like you need some grade A designer drugs! There's nothing like overdosing on synthetic heroin while riding your bike!
Only if I can go on a cruise, too!
*US doctor's office.
Yeah, so is selling drugs or organized crime. Some people have standards...
