Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.

So the punchline is... Pull out your dick and piss in her mouth because....
She's a public bathroom?
I don't think I get horny post comics.
You understand completely
I chuckled a little.
I took it as her being aggressively kinky and provocative to tease and embarrass her uptight partner, nothing says one way or the other as to if she's really into that sort of thing or just messing with him since he clearly wouldn't go through with it, and the punchline being his flustered and mortified reaction rather than just the sexual innuendo.
But the artist wasn't shy about playing up the horniness and titillation either.
However, that's not the only way to look at it, and it's not like we're dealing with Shakespeare here.
You're wrong, this is obviously a reference to Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. In act 2, Scene 1 Petruchio says to Katherine: "Who knows where a wasp does wear his sting - In his tail." After a back and forth Petruchio says: "What, with my tongue in your tail! Nay, come again, Good Kate, I am a gentleman." This comic clearly swaps the roles of Petruchio and Katherine to say something very profound about our society, definitely not a dumb horny comic
I'm not sure how I missed this. It's so obvious when you think about it!
Alright I think I got over the ick factor enough to just see this as a pretty good answer to this.
This post is clearly horny but I don't know why everyone is saying there's no punchline. The punchline is that pissing in her mouth in the store is exposure therapy.
This is honestly funnier and more well-paced than like half the comics that get posted here.
"Exposure therapy" is exposing someone to their fear in a safe space, so idea is she's representing what he fears (public bathrooms) and the safe space is her mouth in a grocery store.
This literally just reads as a fetish. I don't get a joke.
Exposure therapy joke: Him exposing himself.
At least that's how it makes sense to me.
Nope, just still not getting it.
The joke is that he likes peeing in her mouth enough that he should want to do it in public?
The joke still just reads to me that this is what the author masturbated to before posting. But π¨ Artsy π§βπ¨
Sorry I deleted my comment because I misread your first one.
The joke, which is not funny enough to bear this level of explanation, is that she would do that and call it exposure therapy. That's funny.
My defense of the comic was more of an indictment of the average reddit/lemmy comic post, which very often literally have no punchline or stretch one panel of content into four.
Its fine, I just literally passed it around my friends asking for help with the joke because I literally don't get it being... anything other than a;
"man if I had a goth girl I could just pee in her mouth instead of the bathroom" joke. Like that could even be funny to me I guess but this format just felt... Like they drew her on her knees first and invented a scenario around it after. And I haven't found anything redeeming in it.
Don't get me wrong worse stuff is posted but this one still just hits me in all the wrong ways, from the lackluster punchline to the the frustrated walk off and the art style feeling cloned from other artists like Adam Ellis.
I don't like to think something is bad if it is not for me but I think I'm just frustrated by this one since it feels, off. And I'm just searching for what I am missing, cause it feels professionally bad.
The focus of the comic is more on the male character with more panels showing his face and emphasizing his escalating reactions to being teased with various techniques (the squiggle line on the dialogue bubble in the third panel, the head turn line, the poses etc). What I like about it is how it depicts a relationship dynamic between them where he gets easily embarrassed, the goth girl doesn't, and she takes advantage of this to mess with him. It's obviously meant to be titillating but to me it does not seem like the sort of comic that has no substance other than that.
Alternative read. They're into watersports and do this at home. He's holding it because he wants to wait to get home so he can relieve himself that way. She's teasing him about being unable to make it home to enjoy it. It's not actually a matter of being uneasy about public restrooms, just the much more understandable discomfort with that sort of activity in public.
I just read it as an artist saying "hey I can draw in this style, would you like to see more by paying me money at my Patreon or paying for a commission or something like that?"
I'm pretty sure the implied "punchline" is that he pisses in her mouth at home, so they would do it in public so that he gets experience pissing away from home.
It doesn't make a lot of sense. I guess a non-horny version of the joke with the same punchline would be if she brought their entire toilet from home and asked him to go in their home toilet out in public?
Yeah that was the takeaway and the ick factor I had initially.
Like if they played up the absurdism and had a joke more than "well now I'm horny, but pretending I'm upset even though I made the joke" I think there could have been something. The whole set up for that... Yeesh.
I think the punchline is, woman type person is willing to be outlandish to make partner feel foolish/awkward with her ways. It's "women do the darndest things" comedy.
he only wants to use the toilet they have at home.
Huh? No implications of this being public. It's a play turning shyness into something extraordinary intimate. Like someone being afraid of spiders and dangling a giant tarantula in their face.
They are at a grocery store.
