Yes, she left the trail of hearts leading to her for when the handsome guy woke up, but another (less handsome) hiker followed them to her first.

Honestly, learning a little bit about Hungary has been such an unexpected bonus to posting these. So many of these have sent me down some random rabbit hole to understand the joke or translate the title better.

Plus, it's awesome when Hungarians on here have weighed in to fix the translation or tell stories.

 

Some interesting context for this one: in Hungary and many other countries in central Europe, it's common for hiking trails to be well-marked using different colors/symbols on trees (according to what I'm reading). I believe red usually means a sharp turn. Also, I got two different translations for this one - either "hiking trail marker" or "tourist sign". I chose the former.

As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520

Sometimes I wonder if women's lib was only successful because it happened to align with the capitalist desire to double the labor pool. Is that too cynical? Maybe we still would've gotten there otherwise.

Yeah, a society that doesn't take into account biology can't possibly last. The hard discussion is that a lot of it is because we, as a modern society, expect certain things now: access to contraception is good, women having equal ability to enter college and employment is good.

But it's unavoidable that when an increasingly large share of the population are getting established in their careers in their late 20s or early 30s, the window of time to date, marry, and start a family is so much shorter than it used to be. Add in increased housing and living costs, and the window gets even smaller. Also, heaven forbid any step in the process takes longer than planned...

 
 
 

I hate every bland drape I see, from charcoal gray to ivory.

It's "Mr. Joshua", aka Pants (or Pantspants). I have no idea why he never signs or watermarks his comics.

I never mind when people crosspost things that I post. It's just a way of dispersing content to relevant communities.

Also, the cross-posting feature usually automatically provides a link to the original, so I don't know if there's a need for an etiquette around it.

I laughed and then was surprised by the comments. Damn, tough crowd. I didn't think OJ jokes would still be so touchy in 2026.
