Sociologically this is a very interesting strip. This character has a bit of history but we can pretty much infer plenty already from the way he’s behaving here. The issues of sex and indeed hygiene are very embedded in both Western fetishes and government regulatory systems. I found this out - not kidding, it’s a true story - about 3 weeks ago when a Nepali refugee woman ‘lost control of her bowels’ (that’s about as nicely as I can put it) as she ran for the toilet in our multimedia centre. Right-o, we closed it down for a day while we had the room steam-cleaned, meanwhile the inspectors somehow got wind of this (are they recruited on the basis of olfactory accuity?) and were on our door. The tsk-tsk report is coming, and I know it will demand all sorts of facilities and procedures we can’t possibly hope to fund in a non-profit with an annual budget of less than $500,000 and 3 staff members. Can we find a way to live with bleeep without being freaked out? Go on, lick me.
I look forward to “Frog Applause” everyday. Teresa does a wonderful job of setting the stage for her readers to let their twisted inner self to be put on full display.

Potsy, ToonMonitor is a weirdo who made some borderline stalker comments here about 3-4 weeks ago. Opinion was divided between sending in the commandos and rolling on the floor clutching bellies.

I bet you look real cute in the purple ones. So, they allow you to work in the nude? Doesn’t that upset inspectors 1-33?

damifino59 hates Pibgorn, hates Frog Applause, but thinks Mallard Fillmore is brilliant. So sorry to see you go!

Actually, it’s margarinely humorous, Marshall Dillon… but tastes LIKE BUTTER.

I’m not familiar with “medical underwear”. What makes it different from granny panties?

He’s a diesel fitter. When he tries them on, he says, “Diesel fit her.”
