Bronto Boba

Bonus:

Well now I want to look up that drawing I did for DiNovember 2023 when I did a "tea" theme for each prompt. 

I did boba for the Carnotaurus prompt. Now I could go back and change my comic to reference a short-armed dinosaur, but I think the joke is clearer with a long-neck. 

Explanation: The Brontosaurus dinosaur has a very long neck. She would need a very long straw to get that bubble tea all the way up to her mouth. The paleontology community seems to keep flipping between Brontosaurus and Apatosaurus being the same or different dinosaurs. They look very similar and one could be a juvenile of the other but there are some differences and it's fascinating how little we know about dinosaurs.

Bonus:
A: Apatosaurus. 

Red Bean Black Tea Latte

 

True Story, I saw it on the menu and thought, "I have had red bean pastries and they were good, so surely the drink will be similarly good." I was not prepared to have actual beans in my drink. My husband thought it was bubbles, but no they were actual (soft) beans just not really floating but existing at the bottom of my beverage. I drank the whole thing but I won't be ordering it again.

M: How is your red bean black tea latte?
L: I slightly regret my curiousity.

Solid Choking Hazard

Unpopular opinion here: I don't like the bubbles in bubble tea (boba). I like getting drinks from bubble tea places and I say "no pearls" because the drinks are tasty and I don't want to chew my drink. Unless it's frozen fruit in the drink, because that's tasty. But I'm really particular about texture, and tapioca pearls do not make my mouth happy. 

I'm quite happy with how my bubble tea drink turned out in this comic. It took a few tries.

J: Can Lucy have boba?
L: No! That's a solid choking hazard.
J: It's not a solid, it's a gummy liquid.
