Late to this thread, but I've found that it goes well with fresh watermelon, muddled mint, and lime. Play around with the sugar/acid/alcohol ratios that you like, and find something that works. I usually do:

2 oz Singani
1 oz lime juice 4 oz watermelon juice 0.5 oz simple syrup
2 to 6 muddled mint leaves

I find that when I use fresh juice, I can get good texture if I shake it, even without egg white or other foaming agent.

I usually serve in a Collins glass with ice, but sometimes I'll serve up in a coupe or Nick and Nora glass.

Not if you want it to stay extra virgin

Also, he is a great writer with fantastic pacing.

Absolutely. Pretty much each one of his comics uses the right number of panels for the core idea, including the use of different sizes panels as necessary to improve the overall impact of each panel, and to control the pacing. Like this one.

PBF is still my favorite comic on the internet, about 20 years after it was first introduced to me.

Shotgun gauge is wonky, so it's not a given that the number would just be a diameter in units they are familiar with.

Yeah, it's not intuitive that bigger gauge numbers = narrower diameter unless you've specifically worked with wire or shotguns before.

That still makes no sense. Is the commenter surprised to learn that a 0.223 inch caliber is approximately 0.223 inches? That a .45 inch caliber is about .45 inches? Yes, that's how units work.

Yeah, anyone who has biked in city streets will tell you that the buses are much wider than even the big SUVs.

That's because he can draw with intricate detail when he chooses to, if the joke calls for it:

He even adds a ton of detail/shading to simple shapes to give it a more realistic look:

Or he sometimes juxtaposes simple facial expressions on more detailed drawings:

And it's pretty great when he just adopts another art style:

He's legitimately a great artist.
