C'mon, I CAN'T be the only person who cups their hands to redirect the hot air out of these things? It's FUN! Gross. But fun! I had considered making the second panel here a fantasy sequence with myself in some kind of THOR garb as a follow-up to last week's strip, but decided to save that for the mini-cartoon in the title panel. I really wanted it clear what I was doing and decided that just adding the overshirt and playing with my hair and expression was what it needed.

something interesting about the "do you clean your lint screen every time you use your dryer" poll was a bunch of people saying they would check their lint screens but they often didn't need cleaning. my lint screen is completely full after the first dryer cycle for every load though (I often need to use several dryer cycles in a row when I'm doing low heat cycles). and I'm just wondering what the difference is. maybe their washers are removing more lint? or maybe their screens are bigger, so the lint is being more evenly distributed? my washer and dryer (American, whirlpool brand low end consumer models, probably ten years old) aren't top of the line so I'm not sure what's been going on it dryer technology. my lint screen will be full of regular clothes lint, not dog hair, after the first dry cycle of almost anything, so it's not a "i own a dog" difference. dog hair definitely makes up the majority when I'm doing dog laundry. but regular laundry sheds enough lint to need a screen clean every time. maybe it's the material of the clothes I have?
