Girl: KCH! KCH! I'm an expresso this morning! A little coughy. I expected a bigger eye roll. Caulfield: You got it. He just used it all up on "expresso".
He’s mashing up expectorant and espresso. Most people miss the first joke so he forces you to contemplate it again. So everyone bemoaning the spelling is missing the point of the panel.
Expectorant: A medication that helps bring up mucus and other material from the lungs, bronchi, and trachea.

FlyerTom…yes…and that’s why Caulfield says she used up her big eye roll from Frazz before she even got to her pun.

Actually, Jef, " expresso " is perfectly correct. It is a variant of “espresso” derived from Spanish or Portuguese.
