If you know me, you know that I love soda. I don’t allow myself to drink these sugary drinks too often, maybe once or twice per week, max. We don’t even keep them in the house. It’s so good, it’s like GUNS or something. (Just kidding. We don’t keep those in the house, either.)
I was raised pretty much soda-free, aside from the summers of the 1970′s, where my grandparents let me drink my fill of the brew called “Shasta”. Ah, Shasta grape and black cherry still makes me fill loved.
However, the King of all Soda, I’m certain that you should agree, is Dr. Pepper.
It’s a rare, vibrant elixir that I wish to quaff than most every other liquid. For me, it’s better than beer, wine, coke, water and vinegar, combined. (Eww, that would taste BAD.)
“The Pepper” has a rich, sweet flavor that I imagine potions of healing in D&D would taste like.
Basically, when I drink Dr. Pepper, I look and act just like Machine does in today’s strip… but louder. Really louder. Ask Sara, Jenn, Chris, Alan, Alicia, Denise, Bess, or anybody else who’s worked closely with me over the years, they’ll tell you.
This delightful anticipation is followed closely by a sugar-induced office-coma for the next 3 hours.
Which is why I don’t drink the stuff very often.

Ah! How well I know of what you speak – ‘cept for me the King is Coke Zero (gotta watch the calories….)
That’s funny, very clever, and wonderfully illustrated. I can relate. Need a Dr. Pepper everyday. Before I seemed to have lost my metabolism, I was drinking 2 or 3 a day. Now I’m trying to drink the Diet Lipton Green Tea. It’s actually pretty good, but I have a Dr. Pepper sitting on my desk at the moment.
By the way. Love your website. Is WordPress pretty easy to use?
Hey thanks!
Everybody is allowed to choose their own “Dr. Pepper”.
Glad you like the site. Yes, WordPress is awesome. Sometimes it’s difficult to tweak the template just so… but if you pick a great template to begin with, you don’t have to do much.
I love that every single day you reveal something new about yourself, Daniel, as you explain the comic. It’s one of my fave things about reading this!
This is great..your an awesome artist
congrats
I was drinking a lot of Coke Zero for awhile, but lately have been trying to lay off it. I’ve been drinking more tea for some reason, both hot and cold. Does that count? I have to say grape soda is king for me, but Dr. Pepper is a good choice…a prince in my opinion.
Love that Clown Bite illustration. LOLS!
Hee hee. This is excellent!
Holy lane change! Spectacular visuals and what a neat and unique idea! This is great stuff Daniel, glad I found it. I’ll be adding this to my list. And yes, I’m a soda nut too. And Dr. Pepper DOES indeed rock.
Great style!
Oh, you had to bring up Dr. Pepper. I was born in Texas & there developed what can only be called an obsession. Finally wrenched myself away a couple of years ago, & now I only drink it at my grandmother’s house & occasionally on vacation.
But now I’ll be thinking about the succulent fluid all night. Curses upon you, Steam Crow!

Just tryin’ to help spread the Steamcrow luv!
have you ever tried Vimto? Maybe it’s a Brit thing, but you ought to try it, for the name alone…..did they not notice it’s an anagram of vomit?…ace….and they don’t tell you what’s in it.
Your comic is brilliant.
