Please bitches. If nothing else I am a gentleman
Megg Mogg & Owl seems to have twice as many panels as absolutely necessary which gives it a real cool disjointed flow. But I also think Achewood is the best webcomic ever made, by a huge margin.

Pretty sure that's not how it works. Looks more like conjunctivitis to me. Also, makes sense considering they are drug users.

Homer once gave Bart money because he said he would start smoking and then quit so the canonicity of this strip is dubious at best

Also Homer once gave Bart money to buy an animation cel and then to hire Lionel Hutz for that hobo who invented Itchy and Scratchy and finally to buy that other animation cel to prove he did invent Itchy and Scratchy

Here's the strip about their time in high school, it explains a whole lot about how all the characters currently relate to each other, and why owl has hung around for so long.

He's been carrying a torch for Megg ever since they first met even though it's 100% unreciprocated

I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, but that's exactly how it works. Smoking weed can give you bloodshot eyes, it's one of the easiest jokes you can make about stoners. It's also one of the most common shortcuts used to show that someone's been smoking. That and jokes about Visine.

From the couple of interviews I've seen, it seems like Hanselmann's super hosed up childhood was probably the inspiration for this particular comic.

You only get red eyes first couple of times, because you worry you might get caught doing drugs, for example, or party all night long thanks to drugs without realising you were actually tired. Then your body adapts to that stress.

The effects of untreated conjunctivitis, on the other hand, are not affected by drugs. The joke is that they are not responsible enough to use clean needles.

I trust that the author has extensive experience with drugs and in some way aims his comics at like-minded people. It's like video games jokes that normal people don't get, niche humour. My only gripe is that it seems inconsistent at times re who has pink eyes and when. Since Owl is more often depicted with regular white eyes, and he's arguably the most responsible of the lot, you can say that he is actually treating his conjunctivitis, but eye colour is also inconsistent for other characters. My best guess is that since those comics don't follow the events in chronological order, characters might have got infected at different times.

See what I mean? On those pages it is clear that at least Mogg is very high, but his eyes are not pink. This puts this comic chronologically before other comics, where he already has conjunctivitis.

Look. I've been to Amsterdam just last week. This is not how people look after smoking some weed at a cafe. In this particular case, since they had to fly all the way from Australia, it's safe to say they didn't have enough sleep, so their eyes got red essentially after a sleepless night.
