Something like rice or bread will soak it up and absorb it, like other oils.<br /><br />I just used water in the cartoon because, well, it's a cartoon.Malachi Ray Rempenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12827725501736261649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238329353013891803.post-28134218440431996942014-01-19T01:53:40.166+01:002014-01-19T01:53:40.166+01:00I realize this comes a tad late, but I just starte...I realize this comes a tad late, but I just started going through these and have to say they're pretty funny. :)<br /><br />Anyway, I've learned a simple tip to help with spicy Chinese food: 1) Don't order it, or if that's not an option... 2) DON'T drink water at first, it only spreads the burning. Instead get some clean (as in, not yet covered in sauces) rice, which will absorb some of the spicy stuff in your mouth and actually relieve the pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238329353013891803.post-58851499375582523932013-12-09T09:09:27.656+01:002013-12-09T09:09:27.656+01:00Most Korean cartoons of Koreans have horizontal li...Most Korean cartoons of Koreans have horizontal lines for eyes, especially when they're closed. I don't think anyone else would think racist. ^^ (I live in and love Korea) <br /><br />And when you're Romanizing non-Latin-alphabet characters, spelling is generally optional anyway! (At least in this country!) My students spell their own names differently every time they turn in papers.

Maybe now you won't be such a sourpuss.<br /><br />Also, if you know anything about Itchy Feet, I never draw races differently except sometimes the clothing. The waiter's eyes are closed, not "slanty." YOU'RE racist for even thinking that!
