The previous strip, A Lot of Hot Air, was supposed to be the end of the Burpless storyline. But these strips write themselves sometimes, and this one forced itself into my consciousness while I was coming up with what was supposed to be today’s comic. Look for that one on Friday, unless another idea bullies its way into my brain.

While my sister, Laura, didn’t make me a “Burp Tonic,” she did make “medicine” out of toothpaste and a big bottle of something she found in our medicine cabinet, and would distribute doses to all the neighborhood kids, when we were very young. Maybe that’s why my immune system’s so good and why I rarely get sick. Or maybe that’s what started me being burpless in the first place! Hmmmm…

Although many JEFbot strips are somewhat autobiographical, this isn’t one of them. As far as I know, my mom did none of these things, and if she did, I don’t want to know, even if it means unlocking the secrets of why I can’t burp.

Thanks for all the comments, emails and suggestions on “How to Burp” you readers have been sending me since the last strip. My throat has been feeling a bit weird lately, kind of like I have something stuck in it, either a) because something actually is stuck in it, like a piece of the Thanksgiving turkey leftovers I’ve been living off for the past week, or b) because I’ve been trying to force myself to burp using all of those suggestions, or c) because I’m just hyper aware of my esophagus now. Regardless, not good.

Anyway, at least in today’s strip, jefbot has a real pro trying to help him relieve some of that pressure, so maybe there’s hope for me in the real world, too. A guy can hope. Keep sending those suggestions! Something’s gotta work, right?

Oh, and did I just blink and JEFBOT hit strip #100!?

It’s true: I can’t burp. I’ve been acutely aware of this deficiency ever since I was a kid, watching my friends down Cokes while letting off huge, belching thunderclaps. Everyone else in my family can burp, which my sisters have made painfully obvious at almost every family dinner, yet my throat has been silenced, for reasons unknown.

Is anyone else out there burpless? Have any of you been burpless and overcome it? How fun is burping? I demand answers!!!

Yes, it’s also true that rats can’t burp. Find out why by clicking here.
