A public health message from the Things (Comic #550)

Inspired by the smart people that taught me you can wear earplugs to bars, and that if you don't have earplugs rolled up tissue paper will do the trick.

A Public Health Message From the Things

The Things are surrounded by music, one is having a good time, the other is not. The situation gets more miserable for the Thing that is not enjoying the loud music. Then the Thing puts on earmuffs and is happy.

Earmuffs and earplugs. Not just for construction and heavy machinery.
