0082 — Guessin' 'bout vaginas

The outtakes and unused scripts for this strip, as always, post at noon today in the In-Universe and Author's Tiers.

To be a very young boy decades before the Internet was to live in an information desert of speculation, misunderstanding, and ill-intentioned lies. What precious little could be deduced about the female body occurred in the liminal mental space between the brassiere section of a catalog, and a terrifying thing a cackling boy from a broken home said about boobs leaking during orgasm.

May the unmanaged nature of sexual awakenings be a subject of conversation at all your weekend's gatherings.

Ah, life before the internet, when you would hear casual mention of a kinda taboo word, realize too late that you should’ve been paying closer attention, and then be stuck for years employing a broken version of that word in your internal monologues because you’re too embarrassed to ask another human being and fuzzy search (let alone access to it) was still many, many years away. “Mandalate.”

I wanted to share a nice and horrible Achewood-related dream I just had before I forgot. In the dream I had played a wonderful Achewood video game, something between point-and-click and Paper Mario, looking a bit like the Kingdom of Loathing game. When I was waking up I was talking to someone in the dream and in a moment of horror said "I bet I'm going to wake up and this will have been a dream!" but in the dream I was just making a joke because I was so sure it was real. Well I guess the joke's on me because It wasn't real! Curse you Onstad, I know you had a hand in this somehow. The only scene I remember was near the end of the dream and seemingly near the end of the game, it took place at the edge of a forest. The forest was dark for the dead, all the characters that died during the game, and the light field outside held the still living. An aside noted that in the interstice was Pat, who had chosen not to cross over, but exist for now as a wandering ghost--and as a dog, not a cat. Btw I just looked it up to be sure and yeah it definitely isn't real

This strip has me reminiscing about the time in ~second grade I got curious about the female anatomy and discretely tried to find it in the encyclopedia but couldn't. I was very angry that they would censor "bagina" because I just wanted to know, man!

Ben Birdsall

American sex ed is pretty dire, huh.

Thea

Beef's still shook up about Cliff Burton here

Adrian Ingham

Ramses felt this similarly to the way a jedi feels when a planet gets exploded.

Ray's been dropping things like that stormtrooper remark for much of the run of the strip. It's Chekhov's Bulge.

Like that trash compactor in Star Wars Dude I almost spit water on this fancy dress I'm wearing for a wedding

Jenn

That first row of cells got me laughing like when beef skateboarded down some stairs, you know the one, RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE

Nathaniel R

You got it!

EndgamerAzari

To the tune of Runnin' With the Devil?

Colin Sueyres

Laughed so hard at Beef's last line I almost spilled my drink

i dont have strong memories of my thoughts on the mysteries of the snooch before more empirical evidence quieted that internal debate but i have a very clear one of thinking it would be a tremendous waste to throw away sperm every time you peed so that couldnt possibly be whats happening on the boy half of the equation

Zen Window

i thought it was an upside down triangle some distance below the navel with a neat circular hole right in the middle, all "eye of providence" like, almost illuminati like

elton mesquita

Yeah, that's, like, a tertiary function at best.

EndgamerAzari

MOOOOM Roast Beef wants to kiss girls on the trash compactor!

Mackenzie Guillory

Mmm, yeah, this strip makes a lot of sense for the week you got married

Bungus Bronbo

I remember the day I learned that girls have 3 holes instead of 2.

HOT FOR VAGINA, MAYBE

Rob Satterfield

Cross Eyed Ball Pee is a great death metal song

Rob Satterfield

If I can see a vagina, then they are the very opposite of "top secret."

Ollin Williams

*Van Halen impression* GUESSIN' 'BOUT VAGINAAAAS

When I was pubescing my friend was very insistent that you put it in and just pee in there. I did not understand the appeal but set forward with quiet resolve to achieve this aim. Luckily I was not successful until more graphically explicit instructions were given to me by the porn industry.

Irving Washington

Ah, a prequel to the 12/22/08 strip.

Oppido

This is brilliant. It reminds me of the classic Penny Arcade strip which is also brilliant: https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/05/07/kids-today

Josh Burton

Mickey Donovan is a danged fool.

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

One of Young Ray's most enviable qualities is that his growing body and mind have some objectively questionable stuff going on and his reaction is basically, "whatever, I'm sure it's normal."

Douglas Wykstra

Have faith Lil Beef. Your Mister Dracula will know the pressurized walls of a vagina!

Josh Egbert

When I was a little straight boy I thought vaginas were between the boobs. Then Björk dropped Vulnicura.

Sasha Lišková

Don't forget Usborne books and the like

Matthew Harris

the last line is cook's smooching
