Oh my god. Ohmygodohmygod. I am so so sorry to anyone I ever accused of being overreactive about caffeine, and I am so so sorry to anyone I ever boasted to that caffeine has NO EFFECT on me whatsoever.
I lied. It does. It does. Itdoesitdoesitdoes!!

I started lettering the first two panels of this strip and finally gave up - my hands were shaky and I assumed I was just hungry as hell and needed to eat.
So I got on the phone with my friend Mike, and was desperately trying to cook myself some dinner while we were talking so I'd quit being shaky and nutty.
I started stumbling like heck over simple words, to the point where I finally couldn't even put a sentence together.

"Are you alright?" Mike says, laughing but a little concerned.

"Yeah, I'm just I'm just just hungry."

"Yeah? It sure sounds like--"

"I mean I just got back from the tea place and I spent two hours there and all I've had all day is tea and OH MY GOD MAYBE IT'S THE CAFFEINE I mean I know I always said I'm not AFFECTED by caffeine but maybe it's the"

"TWO HOURS?? YES IT'S THE CAFFEINE!"

"But I'm not affected by caffeine and"

"But apparently you are. You are just like everyone else."

"OOOOH my god, I had I had I had tea this morning I had two cups, and then I had iced tea and then I had TWO POTS at the tea place and oh my god will I will I will I stop shaking at some point oh my god????"

**laughter** "Yeah, it will. This is funny. You should do this more often. Or maybe not."

So, people... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. It's true. I am JUST LIKE YOU.
Except that you weren't up until 5 in the morning this morning, and I probably was.

If you never hear from me again, I'm rocking in my bed still trying to go to sleep. Please send help.
