Hey I love this process – is how my intention of getting a light wind breaker jacket turned into a full length oilskin jacket that you can walk through a monsoon in.
Aw man. I came in here hoping to see a strip about liquid flooring >:(
You should definitely get whatever the good people at the NM catalog (Neiman Marcus? Nucular Manliness?) tell you you need; They know best. But why stop at bear mace when you can get a bear-proof coat? youtu.be/Q3CzYw5-qdA
Yeah, that’s me all right. I’d spend hours browsing through jackets, carefully weighing up their waterproof vs breathability factors. Of course it has to be GoreTex and have a dozen pockets of which I only end up using two at most. And most days all it has to do is protect me during my 20 second walk to the car.
As someone who is about to buy a new winter coat myself I understand that problem pretty good.
I mean given the choice “paper vest” and “arctic parka” who the hell would settle for the worse? That’s like saying “I need a waterproof torch but 1 metre is enough, who the hell needs 10?”… you never know, better be prepared!
And then there’s the whole “Vest” argument. It’s wonderful for keeping you warm…except for your arms? What do you have against your arms? Why do THEY have to be cold? What did THEY do to piss you off? I will never understand a down-filled vest. A thin vest like they wear in Westerns…maybe. You need to have freedom of movement for all those gunfights you’re bound to get in…but a parka with the arms cut off? Nuh-uh. Don’t understand it.
Uh…good comic by the way. But now I have to wait until Monday to get another “fix”. Have a great weekend!
Sad thing is, I’ve had this happen. “I need a simple jacket. Oh, an army-navy-surplus store, I can get something cheap..” *walks out looking like a wannabe Special operations soldier* … Dammit.
Bear mace? you forgot the anti-velociraptor-spray!
No spray is a match for a velociraptor, nothing phases them.
*fazes
Not phases
Wonderful I can spell velociraptor, but I can use fazes correctly.
I’m sure you meant “phase” as in; distort it’s reality…
Right? That’s what I’m going for.
Or the Honey Badger
Or the dreaded Australian Koala sub-species, the Drop-Bear!
Not true, wizard hats work wonderfully against them, though the outcome will confuse and put off the uninitiated.
And don’t forget the stick to make the anti-sea bear circle! Or your sea-rhino underwear!
You are awesome, NotaSquirtle.
Don’t forget the Philosiraptor repellent!

Wow man, you have been on a roll lately, i think this is the 5th comic in a row that made me literally laugh out loud.
Funny, I just ordered the LL Bean catalog for a similar reason.

Apparently, you just need to move to some place like AK. A place to keep bear repellant is pretty much required!
Got to be ready when the zombies attack.

LOL I can totally relate
‘Nips.’ Great word.
I’m from Minnesota, so I don’t have this problem.
They don’t have winter in Minnesota?
We do, It’s just that we go with the heaviest coat by default.
“In case I want to go tobogganing during a nuclear winter.” Or up here in the north, eh. :p

Needing a winter coat that can stand a 90 degree below 0 windchill? Welcome to my home town of Winnipeg, Canada.
