On a related note, why in the world would you do a booty dance naked in someone else's apartment when their roommate might return at any moment? Illogical.

The guy is fully prepared and willing to fight bears, I don't think logic is anywhere near his brain at the moment.

It's a known fact that people born in March are super awesome.

That statement has nothing to do with the fact that my birthday was last week.

My first post here - be gentle

I was of the opinion that Angus was on his way to the bathroom to dispose of said condom in the bin, wash his hands (etc) before heading back for round two / heading off for bear wrestling.

In panel 1, he did check around to see if anyone was about. Love the timing. Love Marten's expression.

Like Angus an awful lot more as this arc continues.

That was my first thought as to why he was walking around with a condom on.

Maybe Faye doesn't have a waste basket in her room, maybe she doesn't like used condoms in her bedroom trash, maybe Angus wanted to do a post-sex tidy up in the bathroom, who knows?

Personally, I would have saved the booty dance for the bathroom, after shucking the condom ... if I was a dude.

I realize it's one day too late, but did anyone get the Scott Pilgrim reference in the last comic? "And I reserve the right to change my mind about the sex later."

What she said was, "A lady always reserves the right to change her mind", which is very similar to a line in Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, IIRC.

So it's not really a Scott Pilgrim reference... that right's been reserved for aeons.

There was chest hair the last time Angus was shirtless, but it did look rather short for his being so hairy. Maybe he's a shaver and she caught him on an a lazy day the first time around?

Also, this whole Angus back hair thing is bugging me. Barbarella scarred me for life where red back hair is concerned.

Damn! Now you've got me remembering a movie I saw years ago - either a three musketeers type film, or pirates, something of that era - where the villian was getting his back waxed.

One big sheet of wax that had been dripped onto his back from candles... and the servants (female, IIRC) lfted it as he fell forward off the table - and you saw the bearskin rug trapped in the wax after he falls forward...

In reality, there should have been blood.

Thank you. I guess it's my turn to do a translation, so for the benefit of the metrically challenged reader 9 kilos is very close to 20 lbs. No way a bony youngster could have that much! A Man OTOH?

Come to think of it, 20 lbs is about the size of the slab of ham my wife cooks in the oven for each and every Christmas. [reaches, scratches, a satisfied grin]

Oh man. I read today's strip (heh) this morning and laughed my ass off. Just re-read it and yep, panel 5 still induces an actual laugh out loud. Their faces, their positions, everything -- just perfect.

Gotta say, though, I'm kinda surprised that the fully-laden condom hasn't swung off with all that shakin' around. At least he didn't helicopter.

Quote from: Y on 23 Mar 2011, 01:12

I'm not sure if the condom makes it worse or not, as it provides some covering. It would be weirder if the condom was a puppet or had eyes on it.

Bahaha! Condom with googly eyes! That would be awesome -- not sure they'd sell, though. The market demographic of dudes who want their dicks laughed at is probably kinda low.

PS: The closest we've seen Marten nakie (I think) was the Christmas beefcake thing when he and Steve were in speedos and Santa hats.

...you've got to be kidding. Don't people know their tertiary colors anymore?

Although it reminds me of a story my daughter likes to tell from the Episcopal youth retreats she goes on... one of the counsilers is a huge gay young man, known affectionately as BGD (for Big Gay Dave). One of the rules is "no purple" (boys are blue, girls are pink, mix 'em and you got purple).

Well, BGD was holding hands and skipping (no lie, 6'4", 270 lbs, red beard, skipping) with my daughter and some of the older girls on their way to dinner. One of the other male campers shouted out "Hey, no purple!' and Dave, wothout missing a beat, turned and announced "Honey, this ain't purple, this is puce!"

Didn't you read any of it in high school? I started with julius Caesar when I was about 10, but I was really into ancient rome at the time, and it was an annotated version, which helped a great deal. Then there were the Shakespeare in the Park productions (in Buffalo, but they were really well done). Seeing it is often better than reading it, especially the comedies. And I've been in two prodductions, "As You Like It" in HS and "Midsummer Night's Dream" in college.

It's not for everyone, but the language isn't nearly as hard as most people make it out to be!

Re: Shakespeare:
I began liking the Bard in high school (Julius Caesar and watching two oversexed English teachers react during a field trip to see Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet) but was always grateful I had a professor in college who explained Shakespeare wasn't some longhair artiste but a guy who wrote what sold in his day ... Then explained all the dirty jokes. The effect was to make me regard Shakespeare as accessible and not some rarefied incomprehensibility.

Do people even learn tertiary colors as part of their normal education? I never did...I learned a few on my own, but I can honestly say that I've never seen anything that would make me say, "Wow, that thing is very puce" (or beige, another color I would never be able to ID). Take the color Bole for example (a reddish-brown color). When would you ever describe something as bole-colored? How many people do you know that would actually know what bole is?
