After the search function came on the site, I went looking for "kettle" just to know exactly how much water Mr. Bear recommends storing in the kettle. Now my kettles are residue free. Thank you Achewood.

For the sake of tea drinking people's health (who am I to judge?), I think it should be pointed out that mr. Bear is, in fact, not recommending storing water in your kettle.

If the water catches all that dust and whatnot, and then is allowed to evaporate, it will create a hard, white crust that is hard to get off. You can read the sentence both ways, I now see. In the version I chose to read, Mr. Bear was scolding Teodor for not properly drying his kettle before putting it away.

This is another example of Ray's character in a nutshell: Not only does he walk across a desert by himself rather than ride home with a rival, he refuses to get his own money from his friends because he doesn't want to leave a bad impression on somebody that he'll never meet again.
I mean, just the way that he stands in the fourth panel - he's emaciated, ragged, and dirty, but still barking orders for his friends to serve him food, with butter.
