Underwear

Alt Text: Panel 1:
A witch and a man are at a bar, flirting. The witch says, "I'm not wearing any underwear..." The man holds a drink and looks intrigued.
Panel 2:
The man responds in a flirtatious way, "Then maybe we could go to my place..." He is still holding his drink.
Panel 3:
The man continues, "...So you don’t get a cold."
Panel 4:
The man is in the process of sitting on the couch next to the witch, who is holding a warming bottle on her lap. On the TV, a show about witches is playing. The witch looks content, and the man appears satisfied with the cozy scene.

YOU DON'T GET COLDS BY BEING COLD I HATE THIS TROPE SO MUCH REEEEEEEEE

See, the problem is that science tells us you don't, but living in a cold climate tells the opposite story. Being very cold usually results in getting sick.

My theory is the in the winter, viruses are pretty much always present and getting very cold for a while weakens the immune system.

Exactly that. Happened to me this summer. It was really cold the whole summer and I was outside one day underdressed for a couple hours and I was freezing. Got sick a day later and was out of it for 3 days with all the symptoms of a cold. I had not been sick for a couple years like that. To me at least that was definitive proof you can get sick by being too cold and weakening your immune system.

It's a combination of having to spend more energy staying warm and germs being able to spread quickly because you stay indoors with the windows closed a lot

Well, at least some studies seem to agree with me. And even just anecdotally, I live in a country where it can get pretty cold. -20C is not uncommon, -30C with windchill is completely normal. It can be a matter of hours from a proper cold exposure to having a fever. I've had that happen to me as a kid. Now as an adult I'm pretty much immune to short bouts of cold (I could throw myself into a pile of snow in shorts and a t-shirt right now, it's only -20C outside), but if I sleep in a 12C room all night, I WILL have a cold by the morning.

What's the giant sperm looking thing in the last panel meant to be?

Same irritation here. But I think it's the steam of a hot drink.
