First comment! Try Arizona sweet tea it’s ok or monster makes a energy tea if you don’t mind crack in your tea
If you want to check out Kupperman reading/performing his strips at the Strand Bookstore in New York, here’s a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBFw2cOvtI4
Belated “Happy Birthday” to Chris!
Also belated: I love the new theme song by Adam WarRock!
Perfect toilet book? SOLD!
Tradewinds Sweet Tea is okay. You can usually find it at Wal-Mart or most grocery stores. Sweet Leaf is also decent.

Arizona Sweet Tea is good, and Arizona diet green tea is the best damn tea I have ever had, but you may want it sweeter than that one allows.
To Matt, the sweet tea I like the most is Gold Peak tea. I’m not sure how sweet you like your tea. It’s good and fair priced.
From my relatively small experience with the South, I love sweet tea! The closest I’ve been able to find up North-parts is McDonald’s, actually. Yes, probably not actually anything close, but it’s the best I’ve found so far.
Happy belated birthday, Chris.
Hopefully someone at your local bar purchased you a celebratory Comics Alliance Presents War Rocket Ajax to drink.
