1. drink tons of water
2. that's right, #2. Make it so.
3. drink more water + fruit juice + coffee
4. eat bacon
5. shower, wash hair
6. nap time
7. hair of the dog drink
(Severity of hangover will determine the number of steps.)
if I may recommend putting that bacon in between some bread? Scientists have proven that bacon sandwiches are decent cures for hangovers. Combine that with all of the water you're drinking, and the only thing left to do is knock off the 'hair of the dog' drink.
Yeah, recovery from a hangover through hair of the dog is usually attained DESPITE of it, not BECAUSE of it, though in certain situations, it could help temporarily.
I like its medieval origins. Just as it was thought that it was good to treat a bite wound with the hair of the animal that inflicted it, one of the remedies for say, a knife wound was to first procure the very weapon that had been used to inflict the wound. And then some essence of the object was extracted and used as part of the cure. Weird.
I use a combination of Pigma Micron ink pens, watercolor brush & india ink, and a Pentel brush pen. This drawing was done entirely with the brush pen. I only recently started using the refillable kind which has synthetic bristles instead of the felt tip of the disposable kind. I highly recommend it. You just can't draw too quickly with it until the ink starts to flow for a little while.

Ah, okay, that explains it. Those Pocket Brushes do have a distinctively loose line that I thought I recognized here--I can see more of the micron / watercolor brush look in your regular pages. I was having fun doodling with my Pocket Brush but then the tip got sorta bushy, dang.
Sunny side up Tabasco eggs are a long-standing folk cure for hangovers -- though not exactly of medieval origin -- and go well with bacon. Vaccinations are the modern day descendants of medieval hair-of-the-dog medicine.
I imagine the female Halfling lotus eater would have some disparaging remarks to make about outfits which accentuate other women's bodacious badonkadonks.
Okay, all this talk of buttocks has caused me to tweak the way I shaded the buttocks area a bit so the way the light hits it looks more naturalistic. I like to keep the photoshop shading hard edged for this comic but I make exception just this once no?
