Rasputin Barxotka

Commentary

Today’s comic was inspired by a friend’s phone call that provided me with WAY too much information about things that I never wanted to imagine. It also draws from a hilariously embarrassing incident from my younger years.  My friend and I are both childless, so we will never walk in on our offspring having loud sex; thank goodness!

As a pajama-wearing kid in the eighties, I naively and angrily kicked a locked bedroom door open because of noise concerns. I ended up getting an eyeful of horror that will NEVER be unseen, and shall haunt me until the day I die. Decades later, my friend seared a similarly nasty image into my head with her phone call commentary in regards to her own folks. Originally, Tsar wasn’t going to walk in on his son in this scene. However, my friend’s story made me decide that barging in after drowsily feeding a cat in the nude would be far much funnier than Tsar just angrily knocking on a door and spouting obscenities.  Loki nearly drenched my computer screen with tea and spit drizzle when he read the lettering. It is my understanding that Mandarr cracked up when she saw the text for the page she had to color.  I guess that means my work is done.

Children and parents, I hope that as many of you as possible remain blissfully ignorant of each other’s sex lives for all eternity.  Seriously. Forever and ever.  Amen.
