Whenever someone has written "XD" for a face, I always read it as the letters X and D next to each other. I just can't see it any other way.

It means that Pep has underestimated how much it has infiltrated his speech.

But that's just In My Humble Opinion.

I thought it was In My Honest Opinion but we better check with Peppermint what he actually ment.

We all know that Pep is both Humble and Honest.

I always though it was humble, but I guess it works both ways. It could also mean honorable if you really want it that way.

But yeah, humble.

The guys at Comics Extra Gold must be real fucknuts if Rose Is Rose is their best example of hilarity.

Well, IMHO, that made me go OMG WTF, then I was all LOL and ROFLMAO. Then I had some BBQ, IIRC.

But after thinking about it for a little bit, I realized PDQ that WYSIWYG and it wasn't really a BFD. The strip's creator, I'm sure, is a MFA and everything will be AOK.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go AFK. I'll BBIAB! TTFN!
