Unless he has to check whether they've expired

(Team probs-not-a-virgin)

Yeah, you'd be surprised how many people don't know there are expiration dates on condoms.

This comic made me check where I put the box of condoms I have bought a few years ago in a fit of crazy optimism. I didn't find it, but it's no biggie, for I checked the expiration date on the pair I kept in my wallet and they are out of date by several months anyway...

I'm vaguely considering buying a new box, but I would feel like I'm fooling myself. Why would I go for such expenses in prevision of something I don't believe can happen anymore? 

Shouldn't put condoms in your wallet anyway. Ever have a condom break on you due to improper storage? It hurts.

[jwhouk]

You know, I just now realize that I forgot an option:

All of the Above.

[iduguphergrave]

I so would have picked that option. Of course if that were the case and Faye found out her head would probably explode. And Angus would have the ultimate centerpiece for his shrine.

Eesh that was creepy. My bad.

Also I'm highly curious how you would find out a man is a virgin - unless the guy tells you - and even then he could lie about it.

You check if he can see the enchanted city of Vanorva.

You reminded me to check Oglaf; thank you 

[horsefish]

That's .... good? Not that it'd be bad if you were a gay Jesus freak... But i think that it's kinda incompatible being both i guess...

I've known a few gay Jesus freaks.  Uncommon, but not incompatible.   

[iduguphergrave]

So....I guess you could say that where there's a will, there's a gay. 


*ducks and covers*

[Carl-E]

Well, I guess most bases have been covered, except one;

Latex allergies.  Along with as many as 8% of the population, my wife and both daughters will break out in hives if any skin contact with latex occurs.  And god forbid that contact be internal - breathing problems and anaphylactic shock (in rare, extreme cases) can occur. 

The good news is, there are a lot of non-latex condoms available now (not the quasi-reliable lambskin ones of days gone by), and most people know about such allergies early enough in life that they'll be careful.  My wife made a gift of a box of non-latex condoms to each of our girls when they got their first serious boyfriends.  After all, there's no reason a girl can't be prepared, too!

I'd totally understand if you don't want to answer this, but how did your daughters react to that?

[Sharp]

You know, I'm honestly surprised by all the "Angus: Virgin?" talk!

I mean, for Angus, THIS IS IT! This is the big moment he's been waiting for, or at least one of the big ones that set an integral part of any relationship. Sex! (Even if it's the abstaining from it, that should still count as a healthy sexual relationship)  He's not nervous because he's a virgin, and I don't think he's nervous because of Faye's issues, he's nervous because here is a new sexual partner. You know what they say about first impressions...and Angus seems like the kind of guy who would want to make everything perfect to impress Faye.

Well, that's what I have to weigh in on the topic.

Yes!! That's how parents SHOULD do it! Instead they pussyfoot around the subject and just hope they never ask. And we all know where that leads to.

On the subject of today's comic, I would like to say that there are FAR worse things that guys have that we don't say a word about yet we are expected to be pristine angels for you guys. (Yes I realize there was probably some sarcasm on Angus' part but still. Guys do have unreasonable expectations and that's why we have to pretty ourselves up so much before dates. -.- )

Jeph says:

"Come on dude, Boy Scout motto!

Okay it's kind of creepy to apply the Boy Scout model to prophylaxis."

For fans of the incomparable Tom Lehrer - from his song "Be Prepared" -

Be prepared! And be careful not to do
Your good deeds when there's no one watching you.
If you're looking for adventure of a
new and different kind,
And you come across a Girl Scout who is
similarly inclined,
Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared.
Be prepared!

[Sharp]

-new comic!-

Hey, there may not be any boot-knocking goin on for Angus, but you still have to be prepared! At least, I'm pretty sure that Faye's little jab there was implying that she wasn't talking about sex but just about sleeping together. But, with how...shall we say randy they've been the last few strips I suppose it wouldn't be much of a surprise at all if she were.

HAH! Called it!

[Shadic]

"It's the size of a DIME!"

That was probably the best line of the comic.

[akronnick]

With game like that, it would no longer surprise me to learn that Angus is ndeed a virgin.



...Indeed.

[CEOIII]

So no horizontal hula for Captain Backhair and DimePimple.

[Akima]

More art-kudos to Jeph for excellent expressions in today's strip. And once again Angus proves that his internal censor is a bit slow off the mark, but Faye's ever ready with the comeback. If ever Faye and Angus end up as an elderly couple, they'll be like Stadler and Waldorf.

A dime is about 18mm in diameter so I'm guessing Angus' sense of touch is exaggerating the size. And backhair? Eeeew! 

[Sharp]

well he IS scottish! 

[Shremedy]

I think this proves why, in certain quarters, "SPOOON!" is a battle cry.... 

(LOL, Sharp!)

[Sorflakne]

Hm, looking at Angus's response in the first panel, I stand by my previous statement.

[Sharp]

How so? I'm sure that you aren't implying that if he were not a virgin then he would have pressed the issue...but that's really the only way I can see your argument going. 

If it's something else, by all means tell me. (seriously, no sarcasm here I just don't want to misinterpret you.)

[SJCrew]

Angus is a G, he doesn't have to worry about doing it right. It's sex with Faye that's the problem. A woman he spent so long idealizing and chasing after is now in his bed? I can understand the pressure.

On the real though, I don't think Faye would be so lucky as to date two professional sexmasters in a row. Jeph will probably have her say the sex was underwhelming just to throw a curveball at us and outline the discrepancy in her relationship between Angus and the one she had with Sven. One is good for his heart and sense of humor, the other fucks her senseless.

Now imagine her deciding she wants both...

[no one special]

WOW, Angus.  Just WOW. 

What. A. Douche.  That's the kinda shit you keep to yourself, dude.

[Is it cold in here?]

Sometimes his mouth gets ahead of his brain
*Bad* timing.

[snubnose]

Hmmmm niiiiiiiiiice commic !

[themacnut]

Yeah I think after smooth lines like talkin' about her dime-size butt-pimples, it's gonna be awhile before any sexin' happens between Angus and Faye. It sure ain't happening this time. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the evening ends with Faye jumping out of Angus' bed and leaving in a huff-women simply do not like having their flaws talked about, especially by the guys they're interested in!

Angus really needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut. Especially around a woman liable to beat the crap out of him for saying the wrong thing.

[Dr. ROFLPWN]

WOW, Angus.  Just WOW. 

What. A. Douche.  That's the kinda shit you keep to yourself, dude.

Oh pffffffftttt, this is Faye and Angus we're talking about, it's par for the course with these two. It was awesome, to me, to watch them go from sweet and adorable to trading insults in the space of a minute. It's why they're perfect for each other!

[Antario]

uhoh....faye just added another period for angus to screw up in, im starting to get the feeling faye is going to break down after all....



I think the theory of angus wanting not pushing her and not wanting to chase her away is pretty much confirmed, and well have to wait some more for the virginity theory i guess.....

[Skewbrow]

I'm torn between two intepretations:

• Angus' total foot from mouth moment luckily being turned into LOLs. Again. Or
• Angus reading it perfectly in the sense that as sexual tension was still high, he added some levity to the situation on purpose. Simultaneously letting Faye know that while he finds her very attractive he won't keep her on a pedestal of unrealistic expectations.

Of course, the fact that I dare suggest the latter interpretation (extrapolating on the learned Dr's post there) shows that I hope this relationship works out. Could Angus really be that confident? May be, but the previous strip says 'no!', so I don't know. Wait and see.

It would be a douchy move, indeed, to point out a minor blemish on a lady in many a situation. This turned out not to be one of them. It may be ok, if obviously made in jest and won't press her buttons (both of these conditions seem to be met here). If Faye would be about to bolt out of Angus' bed, she would have already done so. Sans Captain Backhair comment.

[rje]

Firstly: New comic = ELL OH ELL
Oh Angus, never change. <3
I'll be honest, if I were Faye (well if I were in a situation like that, rather) I think I'd be like 'HEY, FUCKER!...aw, you really think of me like that? <3' I tend to hone in on the compliments automatically, might be my GINORMOUS EGO.

And *cough* I'd like to state that I actually never said Angus -is- a virgin, I was just theorizing about it as an interesting story angle. I'm sure the actual event will make him a little nervous, there's a lot of buildup there.

[iduguphergrave]

Aw I was kinda hoping Angus had some embarrassing secret lurking in his room that would make Faye think twice. I guess that embarrassing secret turned out to be just body hair 

[Delator]

Tomorrows comic will have Angus popping Faye's pimple and Faye shaving Angus' back.
 

[akronnick]

That's what you do for the ones you love.


Granted, Faye and Angus aren't really to that level yet, but one of the biggest benefits of having a significant other is body maintenance. It's why married people live significantly longer than single people. I've seen studies.

[Akima]

Faye shaving Angus' back.

Waxing. I can imagine Faye getting into that... 

[Carl-E]

wax on...

wax off. 


The family joke is that all the hair slid off my head and down my back.  The time came when my daughters no longer wanted to rub the sunscreen on my back because of all the hair.  Which made me realize I no longer needed  sunscreen on my back, because of all the hair...

So they rub it on the top of my head, instead! 

[akronnick]

OT:

You have a weird family...   

[Skewbrow]

Sigh. I really don't understand this current obsession with removing as much of the naturally occurring bodily hair as possible. I see the point of keeping the hair on your head (not that I would have too much hair left there) and face tidy as uncontrolled growth there could lead to health problems, but the rest of it rarely causes problems.

There was a time when I would have felt my masculinity threatened by the prospect of losing the hair on my chest. All 18 of them.

[Border Reiver]

Angus  - my vote for most flexible person in the comic.

Able to spoon, even with his foot in his mouth!

[iduguphergrave]

If Angus thinks that's bad, just wait til she farts under the covers.

I can understand it, if it was excessive and it lowered your confidence. Then again, I have kinda hairy arms, what I can only describe as a central patch of chest hair and a head full of hair that most likely will only get thicker and stronger as I get older. The only thing I have to worry about my hair is that my barber might get sick of me getting a haircut every couple of weeks 

[Near Lurker]

Tomorrows comic will have Angus popping Faye's pimple and Faye shaving Angus' back.
 

It kind of looks like he already shaves his back... and maybe needs to think about waxing.

[Skewbrow]

If Angus thinks that's bad, just wait til she farts under the covers.

Place the pillow case over your nose. Pull on the blanket around her pelvic region to adjust the fit, and breathe normally.

[horsefish]

This.

I think there's a counterpart to the backhanded compliment - call it the forehanded insult?  nah, that doesn't make sense.  Basically, "wow, you do have faults." Use with caution.  I've had it backfire, and I 've had it work.  The real core of his meaning was the "flawless angel" part - although his facial expression does seem to be more horror than snark.

Still, another example of Jeph's comic timing -- going from the big "AWWW" in panel to to "D'oh" in panel four.  I read it all as witty banter, and I think they'll be just fine.

You're really rubbing the lotion it in, you know . I was referring to the tender age, when I was ever so conscious about the fact that removing my shirt in a public place would allow anyone to tell at a glance that I was a babyfaced adolescent as opposed to the burly man that I wanted to be.

Still I won't envy anyone with excessive amounts of bodily hair either. You have to find some way to use them hormones, don't ya?

Haha! I know, its great, my head is never cold in winter, and I save a fortune as I never have to buy a hat, not to mention my hair grows at a ridiculous rate  . But seriously, those areas I mentioned are the only areas that I have hair, but I also know it can be a real killer to go to the beach and not take off your t-shirt because you're afraid people will laugh or look at you funny. Thank god though that time is cyclical, the 80s are apparently back and chest hair is back in fashion.
