Even though it was published more than two weeks before this one, I think we need a synchronicity reference to the Brevity panel that appeared in last week’s Sunday Funnies:
P.S. I think the caption would have been better as “Om, Om on the Range“.
@ Maggie – It’s hard to tell whether you were referring to my caption or TedD’s solution. For the latter, the gag might have been easier to understand if the caption had referred directly to “holistic”, but that would probably have obscured the connection to “whole” (milk). A mixture of the two words (such as “wholistic”) would have failed in both directions. Therefore, the (slightly cryptic, but simpler) original caption was probably the best solution.
I dunno. I’m a skeptic, too, but a) meditation is a valid self-care technique and b) holistic medicine is not necessarily (even if often) woo-woo alternative stuff.

Maybe it is supposed to be something like “holistic milk”?

@ TedD – I think “ofc” must be an editorial typo for “of course“.

Sorry it was opaque. But not so much “typo” as “lazily falling into (very widespread) contemporary online shorthand.” Lol!

P.S. Drat it all, my turn for a stupid typo: the “solution” was Ian’s, of course, not TedD’s.

What does meditation have to do with anything “holistic”?

Powers, it must be some kind of conflation by outsiders / skeptics who like to see one big package they can dismiss at one go.
