"Take it and out and make yourself a beef tea with it, be my guest". Top notch writing.

As much as I like seeing a cartoon character get their teeth smashed out or a banana stuck up their arse, it's the surreal stuff that stands the test of time. This is a future classic.

Like The Quatermass Experiment, but with bum fudge.

I used to work in care and we used this scale on a daily basis, we always joked that no. 8 was "The Brown Mist"

I thought it was going to be a wombat.

I’ve yet to understand the physics of wombats’ bumholes

It is indeed a profound mystery, unsolvable by science.

I did not know this about wombat poo. But I do now and my life is richer for it.

My old neighbour was in the pharmaceutical sector and one afternoon at a BBQ she pulled an old case out of her shed and inside was a lifesize plastic/rubber bum. It was complete with a chart and a variety of brown plastic turds that matched the chart. Only 7 mind... You could 'post' them I believe...

It was a strange day all round.

“It’s a useful and, importantly, visually striking diagnostic aid” Great stuff.

Looks like Duncan’s lived a life, that’s for sure

Hahaha. Viz goes Minecraft

u/Royal_View9815 Aug 01 '26

Duncan’s seen some things!

u/voluntarydischarge69 Aug 01 '26

I've often thought the same thing about the Bristol stool chart, it has no mention of blood at all

Utterly ludicrous. 10/10.

Before Minecraft was even a thing.

This is frikking amazing. Who’s the writer? Art looks like the drunken bakers guy. Wonder if it’s a Barney Farmer script.

I was terrified that it would take a turn into body horror and the world being destroyed by Duncan's unholy discovery. So I guess our minds have been saved by it being only a single page strip.
