They still haven't figured out that glasses come in anything larger than microscopic size. Oh well.<br /><br />So thrilled to discover your comic. I'm from the States and have been living abroad for almost 8 years (Iceland, Germany, Norway). You've picked up so many of the essential tiny experiences of the life abroad.ECShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980638224399713624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238329353013891803.post-61867658336570246272013-04-08T17:19:56.111+02:002013-04-08T17:19:56.111+02:00A constant battle...A constant battle...Malachi Ray Rempenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12827725501736261649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238329353013891803.post-2775362335788435352013-04-07T18:07:00.719+02:002013-04-07T18:07:00.719+02:00the magic word: "un pichet d'eau"
