Corks should be outlawed and all wine should be twist-offs.

Also, guys, eat your food it's getting COLD.

Just realized it might be nice to have links to the previous pages so you can refresh your memory! Here's the previous three pages, and here are the first two in case you wanna revisit them.

This is the same great kind of storytelling you did in Girls with Slingshots. Can't wait for more.

I did a BIG dive through some local pals' band posters from shows that were put on in our town. I'm not 100% certain Berto would have liked Stellar Watson, but they were my favorite local group back in the day, so I forced that shitty show poster on him. ;)

Ach. I love every square millimeter of this chapter.

Limitless tolerance limits tolerance

Haha I meant arts and crafts as in architecture but I’m glad the miscommunication happened cause that is a great story ☺️

Wait, why should corks be outlawed? It's a renewable and useful resource! Of course, it's also so much faster to drink the wine when all you need to remove is a screw cap.... Hmmm, things to consider.

Cork is renewable? You've just made realize I have absolutely NO idea where cork comes from or how it's made. It's just something that exists that I have never even considered. (but I think most $10 wine bottles come with plastic corks if they aren't screw tops, but I won't swear to that)

Margaret Oliver

Yeah, just the outer layer of the bark is removed from the tree and then it's left to regenerate for like 10 years before it's harvested again. I know there's been some sort of fungus on corks that was ruining wines (called cork taint, lol) so the industry started moving towards more screw tops and plastic stoppers, which are also cheaper for them. But you can use cork for other things besides wine stoppers as well!

Sarah Manx

Aw, I instantly love them. ☺️

Sheri Spangenberg

Portugaul has a lot of cork so they make all kinds of things. I've got a cork purse my aunt brought back for me!

dcorsetto

Oohh!! Well thank you for that, too. :)

dcorsetto

THANK YEW I felt good about that!

dcorsetto

I actually was under the impression that cork isn't an environmentally friendly option, but I never read up on it, and I didn't know about the... heh, "cork taint." Either way, corked bottle = have to remember to bring a corkscrew, while screw cap bottle = ever available wine.

They are lovely! Also, the way you rendered the wine glasses on the last panel kinda blew my mind?!

Ruth Merriam

You check the cork for authenticity of product, so I'd look inside the screwcap for a secret message. ;-) I love that you had Berto spill the down-low on the pricing of the wine. Happy anniversary, indeed, to these lovebirds. What a beautifully rendered strip.

dcorsetto

I went against how I normally approach glass and just dragged some colors from elsewhere in the panels and rolled with it!!

dcorsetto

Ooh I didn't know the cork had a use beyond stopping the liquid from falling out! Berto's a very honest and frugal man, and proud of it. ;)

THEY are my new favorites! <3
