The Bacon
Normally pronounced 'THEH-buh-kon', I assume.
Title text: Normally pronounced 'THEH-buh-kon', I assume.

Explanation

This comic plays off a typical American colloquialism in which "Bring home the bacon" means working hard and bringing money home to your family to put food on the table.

In this comic, Randall learns that "Bring home the bacon" is actually a double entendre for the above phrase and bringing home a drug that is known as "thebacon". In case, you aren't familiar, Vicodin is a pain medication that can be used by some as a drug of abuse. This comic features the White Hat character.

A doc White Hat's wife will not have her job for long. 108.162.245.69 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)


Suggest marking as incomplete. Source is Wikipedia? Is there someone who has more familiarity with opioids who can comment? And what's the purpose of the title text? Stating it's incorrect does very little to explain the joke (which I don't really get). Wikiiscool123 (talk) 12:30, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

It is just me or the title comic is showing as The窶叡acon for someone else? 172.68.25.39 20:23, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

The title is showing The bacon for me. Is the title showing different unicode characters to different people? [Gopher] 15 Dec 2019
