Britney Spears
on May 26, 2014 at 12:01 amOne of our frequent male models was this fairly muscular dude who didn’t seem to have much going on upstairs. Also he’d get woodies all the time, and that inspired this strip.
My roommate at the time had a huge thing for Britney Spears, so to speak. Come to think, that might be the source of Joe’s unJoeness during this period. I really think I’d started writing him as my roommate — definitely a horndog like Joe, but more realistically unsuccessful at it.

Instant boner.
Then all the artists get angry because he moved.
It’s hard keeping one eyebrow cocked for long periods of time.
Especially to keep it in that S-shape.
Now, all I can think of is her downward spiral that ended in misery, and then her semi-return to form.
Where is she anyway?
I assume she accomplished nothing her whole life, then went into politics.
For a second I thought you were talking about Mary.
According to a school newspaper article from a few years ago, most male models say the experience is so unsexy they couldn’t get an erection if they tried.
This is a fortunate fact for every actor who has ever played the lead in Equus, where it is a matter of vital, imperative importance that he not get an erection in the nude scene lest he ruin the entire plot.
It wasn’t unsexy really… it was freaking cold though.
Discomfort of any kind is often unsexy.
How much money you wanna bet that if Mary had said “Ruby-Spears” instead, Joe would still get wood ’cause he’d be thinking of Princess Ariel from Thundarr the Barbarian?
….anyone….?
I like the hand, and the difference between panels 2 & 3 with its clear demonstration of what’s going on.
Though I find this strip rather uncharacteristic for Mary. Billie I can see doing this. But for Mary it means openly acknowledging sexuality in a non-judgmental way.
I dunno, Mary is using Joe’s sexuality to humiliate him. I could see her using that tool.
True, but I doubt she’d giggle aloud.
Well, think of it this way: she’s laughing at Joe’s penis.
That’s even more humiliating than just getting Joe to pop a boner in public in the first place.
It helps that boners are a natural source of amusement.
While I know that was a common term then, Somehow I still get a mental picture of the artists doing that comic saying “goodnight everybody” when it went to press.
Okay, Mary…
You get this ONE laugh from me.
Don’t get used to it.
