Replying to a redditor:

> Hey I always wondered, why does you comic *always* have at least one person with glasses, or one ginger, in every strip?

> I often put big glasses on people who I want to seem less emotional. As for gingers, we are an under-represented minority, and our time will come.

> Lamb's Quarters. One of the tastiest wild greens. Let it get a little big, fill a basket with leaves. Wash them, then drop them in boiling water for a few minutes to get the bitterness out. Drain, squeeze out the water, and now you basically have a loaf of some of the best greens. Personally, I like to make a version of creamed spinach with them.

> Only issue is that the stems are pretty tough when they get tall, and if you mow they are very unpleasant to step on. If you don't want that, you'd better kill them.
