Hi, honey!
on August 13, 2018 at 12:01 amI used to have to buy my ink cartridges to draw my strips at Michaels or Joann’s or wherever, and I often described the store as “smelling like GIRL.” See, because there was an overwhelming fragrance. Lots of potpourri. Get it? Genders! So I borrowed that wordage for this strip, but damn if it doesn’t sound way pettier coming from Mr. He-Man Women Haters Club over here.
but just you wait walky you’ll smell like girl soon enough

Joyce, if you want him to get your hints you’re gonna have to be way more direct.
She could be standing buck naked holding a sign that said “I want sex now!” and he’d still not get the hint…
This makes me think of last week’s Oglaf story with the scented candles.
SORCERY!!!
BZOWT!
I know they’ve been calling each other honey and dear for a couple strips now at least, but have many questions about when it started
also lol I may not know about this Girl smell you speak of, Walky, but I DO know what Eau de Boy smells like (strangely musky and sour. Took living on campus at a women’s college for a semester to realize that the opposite sex DOES actually smell weird)
It actually took me a hot minute to remember what the commentary is talking about…hahaha 😬👍
All the craft stores have the same overwhelming fake flower smell most of the year, but at least they switch it up and smell like cinnamon pine cones from September to January.
Other selections in the Retail Smells Collection include the Stop and Shop / Giant Aroma (Italian bread and reheated breaded chicken patties), Wal-Mart Smell (desperation and cheapness), Harbor Freight Funk (thick offgassing rubber), Home Improvement Center (pine and concrete dust), and Eau de Thrift Store (antiseptic air freshener over a musty base).
Seriously, Joyce, this isn’t about you. Well it’s a little about you (your timing sucks, for example) but, mostly, it’s about Walky being emotionally burned out and battling sudden-onset traumatic depression. Sex is probably NOT something that he’s looking for right now.
Never understood the trope in media where scents are considered “girly”.
I’ve always used incense and scented candles because I want my room to smell good, and I’m a guy. Never met another guy who felt the way Walky does about them, only in various fiction.
When I think of Michael’s I think of the pinecones with the overpowering fake cinnamon sprayed on them. Gas mask, where are you?
The thought of “girly” didn’t hit me. (And I like some candles, too, but only in fall and winter.)
“Geeks do not have pedigrees
Or perfect punk rock resumes
Or anorexic magazines
It smells like girl! It smells like girl!”
