New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for June 14, 2012

You think that’s racy? I’ve seen movies where a husband and wife had their beds in the same room! With only one small piece of furniture between them!

Can the nightstand be a phallic symbol? Discuss.

we need a ‘rim shot’ emote around here

I always insist on bunk beds.

I’d never heard of Mary Kay and Johnnie, but I looked it up on Wikipedia. Son of a gun – had the first TV pregnancy, too. (and all this time I thought Lucy was the first).

Lucy and Ricky had the same bed before Little Ricky was born.

Actually, according to a very funny skit from MST3K, the mid-sixties had such a propensity to show single fathers raising kids, the only normal family on tv was the Munsters.

I have read of one Victorian wife and mother bragging that she had never seen her husband naked.

Please! No more! I may get the vapors!!!!!!!

@steverino – With the lack of lighting both interior and exterior in Victorian times, nighttime was REALLY dark. Climb into bed, snuff out that last candle…and you’d never see anything. I wonder if the good lady was asked if she had FELT her husband…. ;-)

According to a Victorian book on etiquette, a proper couple will always ensure that male and female author’s books are never side-by-side on the bookshelf unless they happen to be married…

@steverinoThere was a Victorian lady who would not permit mirrors in the bathroom in order to prevent her from seeing herself; For true…

@DukedogThe first American couple to be in the same bed on TV was, surprisingly, The Flintstones…

Yes! My wife and I met while watching MST3K in the dorm tv lounge back in 91. Been together ever since.

I’m new to this one. So, am I to understand there is no actual drawing involved in this strip?
