I thought “diabetic coma” comes from a very low blood sugar (from a dose of insulin, or some of the fun type 2 oral drugs like glyburide, or a lot of physical activity without a snack). I’m going to have to check on that.
Actually, a diabetic coma can be caused by hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). But yeah, most people when they hear or read diabetic coma automatically think of the hypoglycemic version.
Sorry wrong. Diabetes is high blood sugar and the body does not produce enough insulin. Hypoglycemia is were you produce to much insulin, those people tend to take advantage and eat too much sugar and stunt their insulin production till they get diabetes. Hypo can be a lot more deadly because there is no shot, and sugar pills spike you, only solution when you have a seizure, hope some one pours Orange juice down your throat. I have hypo. Almost died from it.
Cadbury Creme Egg Cereal is to her what copious amounts of booze is to normal people. She enters a blanked out state and, when she comes to, she can’t remember what happened.
This time she somehow got elected to Congress and possibly killed Nancy Pelosi.
Massive quantities of Dew now this? I think I’m in love.
Ooo, are those the delicious cream filled eggs?
DAMN!! I laughed until I cried.
RIP Nancy Pelosi
Um, she’s still alive. In 2013.
Oh, right. Robin somehow has her district in SP!.

Your avatar makes it look like FACT LION is on patrol. I love it. =)

And it would come that history repeats itself.
She sounds like she’s had it even before this. HM.
This has to be my favorite strip of this entire comic.
I…don’t get it. Help?
She blacked out cause of the awesomeness that is Cadbury cereal.

Having started reading this series AFTER Dumbing of Age, I find this turn of events utterly awesome.
I second this motion.
Maybe I should do the same thing
I guess that’s the secret trial to get into the congress.
Haha, I was waiting to see her high on sugar again.
So glad I read Walky before this, or I probably would’ve missed the joke.
and here’s where her family learns that she’s alive….
Possibly even funnier than the MAD TV skit upon which it is based.
