Arctic

Mar 17, 2025 — Comic #329
A Coastie briefs with slides: “This is the Arctic: the area around the North Pole, where there’s at least one day a year without a complete sunset.” Next slide, a red semi-truck: “...and this is an artic, short for ‘articulated lorry,’ the term the British use for a semi-truck.” She continues, “If you misspell ‘Arctic’...” over a slide showing a stick figure writing “Artic,” then, “...I will hit you with an artic,” as the truck slams into him.
