kawaii knows not when to stop!
Japan does regular or BIG beers.
Even better, you can get them from vending machines.
Hitomi! good to see her again. I hope we get an arc about her and Sandra talking about her marrying Richard and how Hitomi is not trying to replace Sandra’s mom. It would be nice to see Sandra talk about her mom again, it’s been a /while/.
Maybe a whole wedding arc? I miss big arcs.
Ah, good! I was missing these two together! Thanks for the treat!
And Hitomi looks to be in something relatively normal for a dress – that’s also awesome!
Half-sized had better mean half-priced.
Now excuse me while I read Gaia/ try not to think of Hitomi dressed as Entrapta eating tiny-food with robot-arm hair tendrils.
I mean she’s fun-sized too, so she knows what she’s talking about.

So…. since Sandra has a mom now… how long till her Mom’s tendencies start rubbing off on her?

What do you mean fun sized? That’s a big serving in Köln!
The word “kawaii” doesn’t mean the same to me after I listened to (and watched a music video) MC Thunder II by Eskimo Callboy
No, small things are not “kawaii” by default (for example cockroaches are not kawaii).
Furry and/or fluffy things on the other hand ARE and therefore moldy foods are kawaii meaning they should just leave a ham sandwich there to rot.
Fun size less for the same price or more because it’s advertised as “fun” lol,!
So are these two married now or what?

I mean Hitomi would really be a figure Sandra can look up to and admire in the absence of her own mother. And with this strip I imagine Hitomi wants Richard to limit his alcoholic intake for Sandra’s sake.
As someone who does not drink, “fun-size” means I’m already drunk…
Yay, vintage Sandra and Woo!
What is the fun in something small and cute (I am assuming that is the English translation for kawaii)? For me a “Fun-Size” product should be about twice as big as regular, or more.

Kawaii doesn’t mean “small” necessarily. Nor is “cute” the Thing and the Whole of the Thing when it comes to translating it in english.
The male variant ( in english ) is “cool”, for instance. But lots of cool stuff isn’t necessarily kawaii.
Trust the japanese to come up with concepts that are so alien to us westerners they can’t possibly be properly translated.. 😉
Wonder whether this was the inspiration for the comic:

“Hey doug, I heard you liked soda bottles..”
I get Richard’s point, those miniscule versions of products are fun, however they are also more expensive than the regular or outsize products. For some products, okay. For others, certainly for those used daily, not good.
What are those, 100 ml?
I agree: kawaii~
I also agree that alcohol should come in small sizes at most. And, you know, preferably not at all. Drink juice.

Of course not. The cool masculine stuff would be “kakko ii”.
So why does american keep the freezers above their fridges?
Around here we swap em, so that ya dont have to bend down to access the things ya most often use. Richard looks like he has to bend down to half his usual height to get eye-level on the top-shelf.
He’s got a cute Japanese wife who will spontaneously dress as a maid or a catgirl or a schoolgirl. I think he can accomodate her little foibles, seeing as he’s Living The Dream.
I actually wouldn’t mind buying the mini/”fun” sized stuff if they were priced proportionally to the their counter parts. Sadly, most of the time, they’re the same price and almost always more expensive pound per pound. It also doesn’t help that buying the jumbo/family sized stuff is usually cheaper too.
They’re not smaller, you’re the one who’s bigger!

I have seen too much…. I’m going to lie down now… forever.

To be fair: beer bottles in cologne are the same size as anywhere else in Germany (and beyond) – we get mocked for the ‘test tubes’ we use for beer glasses.
He could go ask yuna to make him a growth ray that way everyone wins

@ Vicious Sand:
Sorry, nope. When it comes to beer, the packaging and shipping often make up a higher share of the price than the beer itself. Because of this, smaller bottles are more expensive, at least in terms of price per ounce.
@ Nikary Flare:
Beer is considered food in a part of my country.
Just kick back and pretend you’re flying First Class.

Are you sure they didn’t mean “bear”?
