I fail to see the off-topic-ness. In a comic "...by, for and about therianthropes and otherkin", a PSA regarding the most favoured beverage of some of them still seems rather pertinent. };-:}~
That said, the second panel brought a bit of a smile...
The ornaments in the fourth panel are gorgeous. I'd be pleased with myself, too, if I'd drawn them. :D I really like the way the comic was drawn this week - it's wonderful. :)
Yeah, and another advice: never make your green tea with boiling water! Wait a little until water slightly cools. Otherwise you will lose many good substances and flavours in your tea. Talk to you as a chemist! ;)
Tea is not off-topic at all. In fact, drinking a good cup of tea, depending on the kind, can open up your mind and be good for the body.
On a related note: Everybody at work drinks coffee, and I decided to start making myself tea in the morning. Jealousy looms when the smell reaches their noses. hehe
Hehe, I was about to say that! Overheating is what makes tea bitter instead of delicate, like it should be. And go figure, the person I learned this from considered tea and cooking like chemistry.
I was also going to say that, according to my boyfriend, the proper way to make a cup "dirties" several dishes. Use one pot to boil, another pot with hot water in it to warm it first. You pour the water out of the pot you were warming, use it to brew in, and pour the water you were boiling (after it's at the temperature your particular tea demands) into the brewing pot. And then serve it from that one.
Incidentally, I just got a cast iron teapot today, imported from Japan, that came with specific care instructions. ^^
It's about a little girl and her mum sitting quietly at home, when a tiger invites himself in for lunch. He eats and drinks everything and then goes home. Not very exciting, but it's a wonderful childrens book and this comic reminds me of it so much.
Tea being related to everything reminded me of a good book. A View From Saturday It's about these 4 kids who end up meeting together at their teacher's house each Saturday and discussing recent events and having tea (at tea time of course). One of the things they relate tea to is knowledge: People think that the tea they have is so good they aren't willing to empty their cup and get some new tea. And thus it grows cold and isn't good any more. (I did that from memory, the way the it's done in the book is probably much better.)
At the risk of being chewed, mawled, clawed, and any other action verbs that you can think of that can do bodily damage, I've tried tea four times, and haven't liked any of it.
Tea matters to everyone. I like your comics so much because they are all about animal people being themselves in ordinary situations. :) "Don't die!" I liked that the best.

I also love the way you draw humanish hands. Lovely. ^^
