    Did people really wear bandages around their necks for a sore throat back in the day, or is that just a comic strip way of visually conveying that info?

    Also, damn, he knocked that guy right out of his suspenders.

      People still do, but they call them scarfs or neckerchiefs. It actually works pretty well, I didn’t notice my throat was getting sore in the cold until I wore one.
