Location: Joyce and Walky's apartment
Was putting up the next strip and I was like, wait, why isn’t #4 anything but a layered file, where’s the web format PNG? And I opened it and I was like ohhhhhhhhhhhhh right, I didn’t finish this one because we decided this was gross. I think.
Anyway, just now I asked Maggie if it was still too gross to run now, and she was like I don’t know, sure whatever, it’s not funny, it’s just kinda weird, but whatever. And I was like OH YEAH there’s the sweet spot and so here it is.
Loading ...
well they aren’t THAT by then
if you know you know
I might be laughing really really hard at this if I weren’t still reeling from tonight’s DoA, but even as it is I definitely got a chuckle.
now THAT is too pro-life
When I woke up this morning I didn’t realize I was gonna learn that Joyce swallows but okay
I’ve never gotten the spitting thing. If it’s already in there, it’s too late – you already tasted it. You might as well just swallow, if only because it’s faster and less messy.
I guess unless you or your partner have a spitting fetish?
I don’t know how much is TOO much….
Buuuuut, it probably feels different in your throat.
Like if you swallow gum (G!), it feels different chewing than swallowing. Same with pills.
Would swallowing be easier if you had a glass of water?
???
I’ve never had a guy long enough to get it directly past my tongue without tasting it. That sounds… uncomfortable.
Or do you mean after it passes the tongue? Cause, if so, it’s really no worse than swallowing some phlegm during a cold.
“no worse than swallowing some phlegm during a cold.”
I’ve probably thrown up from that at times. just reading the words made me shudder.
funny thing, though, I *used* to be able to swallow. then one day my body decided the flavour/texture was Unacceptable and I just couldn’t any more. sensory issues are fucking weird.
TMI but the first time I had an intense stomach reaction, which made me think I was allergic?
but that was also with someone else so idk
Huh. See, legit allergy would actually be a very good reason to spit. Although, in that case, it might be best to avoid finishing there in the first place.
I haven’t had LOADS of… loads… to know what to do with it
When I woke up this morning I didn’t realize I was gonna wind up in a discussion in the Joyce and Walky comments section about the pros and cons of swallowing semen versus spitting it out but okay
You never know what you’ll find yourself discussing in the comments section of a Willis comic.
Fun Fact: This is why, when we were pregnant, my wife and I both made an effort to eat lots of different varieties of food, including a fair amount of spicy food. Nearly a decade later, both of our kids have no problems eating spicy food from various cultures. Our youngest is even a bit of a gourmet – he turns his nose up at hot dogs, but will eat sirloin steak.
Your youngest has good taste.
True.
Now if only I could get him to eat canned fruit.
The fetus eats everything you do, but not through the mouth, so not through the taste buds. Your kids’ openness to eating probably has less to do with that than with you continuing to expose them to a variety of foods as they grew up. At least, I assume you did. Next kid, feed a wide variety of foods while pregnant, then a bland diet once they’re born. We’ll science an answer out of them!
Oh no.
I mean, yes, it isn’t through the mouth, but they still taste it. Somehow. Through the blood.
I have no idea how it works, but the fact that they taste it was a significant aspect to the research that caused us to go out of our way to eat a varied pallet.
Huh. I learned something new today!
And there will be no next kids because my wife and I both got our tubes tied. We wanted two kids, one from each of us, and that’s what we got. We donezo.
“Well, it was too gross before but hits sweet spot now” says a lot about your dedicated readers. The question is, who is rubbing off on who?
Faz is rubbing off on everyone.
Faz is rubbing off *to* everyone, you mean.
Faz would like to rub off on everyone. Here is a chart helpfully demonstrating how often he would do so. It has up-ness.
Today is just the right mix of funny in both the comic and the comments. The sweet spot indeed.
That took me a minute to get and oh my God dude.
… fantastic
Yes Walky, good idea mentioning that to the picky eater!
She’s not such a picky eater in this ‘verse, I don’t think.
