Cold weather is preferable to the hot sweaty sun. While winter turns the face red, and you have to walk around mopping up your nose, at least you’re not overheating!
I can’t make up my mind if this comic is about white lies and polygraphs, or food.
Really good friends can take many liberties with one another, while still remaining platonic. A Platonic Relationship of sorts. This ranges from making doe-eyes across the table, to spontaneous back massages, to sharing food. When you’ve reached this level of friendship,
you’ve hit gold.
Gotta love that rush-hour traffic. It develops talents you never knew you had.
NZ Herald, our national rag, thinks it knows the real reason why people can’t afford a house. It’s because we spend too much on smashed avocado and flat white breakfasts at cafes on the weekend. In a flash of original reporting, the Herald decided to jump on Australia’s ‘Avo-Gate’ bandwagon and point the same finger at NZ Millenials (see the original article here – it’s so much funnier than what the Herald wrote).
So, maybe if we, like, cut it down to, like, one flat white and shared a plate of smashed avo on toast, we’d totally be able to afford that $700,000 house in Glenfield that used to be a P-lab.
All the titles used in this comic come from today’s online NZ Herald alone (except the one about dog turds, but I wouldn’t put it past them).
I feel for the writers that are under a lot of pressure to churn out content that will inform, entertain, and lead to sales. Unfortunately this leads to a lot of mistakes, poor content, and profligate use of clickbait titles.
And yet, at 3pm I still find myself wondering what type of bread I am.
…Or any athlete for that matter.
U.V. in New Zealand reaches high levels (today it is predicted by NIWA to peak at 11 on the scale). 
These levels are reached thanks to proximity to the Antarctic ozone hole, earth’s elliptical orbit (which takes us closer to the sun in our summer than the North), and cleaner air (pollution acts as a buffer – what a twist).
You could have tip-top melanin production down here, and still come out crispy at the end of the day. Sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and shade are essential for survival in our summer sun. Go without at your peril.
