…. AND Everyone had Exactly the Same Take on Mindy’s Mother’s End of the Conversation, Yesterday:
“If your Looking for Adventure of a New and Different Kind
And You come across a Girl Scout Who is Similarly Inclined
Don’t be Flustered, Don’t be Nervous, Don’t be Scared ..
BE PREPARED!” – Tom Lehrer 1953 https://youtu.be/gkrheaWuShU
Even after watching the YouTube video, I’m still having trouble singing the titular line in any way other than that of Jeremy Irons in “The Lion King”.
I loved him, before I even understood him – I grew up in a Danish family and my father would play his records repeatedly, so I knew the melodies by heart before I ever understood a word of the lyrics (even if my father was not the over-sheltering kind, he chose NOT to translate).
If you’re old enough to remember “The Electric Company” on PBS, you probably know quite a few more of his songs than you realized. Lehrer contributed many compositions to that show and even sang a few of them.
“I guess I must be dumb
‘Cause you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And you say, ‘What have I got to lose?'”
Welp, there’s no stopping them now. I never realized how effective those glasses were until this moment, and soon so will Hiroshi. The freckles that remain are a nice touch.
A better Question I have asked Before is:
o Since it appears She actually Does NEED Them, is Mindy Near sighted or FAR Sighted?
o Put Another Way – Has She ever Clearly Seen Her Own Face WITHOUT Them?
Either Way They’re more than Fogged, They’re FRIED! All the Circuitry in Her AR-CCG’s was Overloaded by the Radiation Penumbra that jujst came off her Face.
Well, once mother thinks it’s time for her to BECOME a grandmother, she’ll typically start worrying too (though in that case she probably would not take care to equip the progeny with condoms – rather the opposite)
So they weren’t quite prepared for the idea of going that far that fast… Or that a parental unit would actually be ok with it, though I can’t blame them on that given our society’s scrambled messaging about sex.
I can see this going anywhere from staying awake to sleeping separately to (just) fondling and sleeping together to everything-but to … And whichever is right for them is fine. Though I suspect that if anything they’ll be overly worried about giving the other person space, and afraid to ask … Oh well. They have time to figure it out.
Oh, I think we can do better than that, – no need to be cheesy about it.
Electronic-music pioneer Klaus Schulze (of Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, and the Cosmic Jokers) did a soundtrack for a soft-core porn film called “Body Love” back in the 1970s.
Considering that the whole issue of “I’m stuck here on the not-my-home side of the portal!” is a big part of what’s going on with Mindy and Hiroshi, I’d propose the track “Nowhere – Now Here” from the “Body Love 2” album.
(and… bloody hell… in looking up his discography I just found out that Schulze passed away about six weeks ago. Damn. Thanks for all the excellent music, Klaus.)
@himura: But a brand that doesn’t need explaining, which is important for the gag of a full box to work. (Frankly I never did find a brand I considered more than a necessity.)
Most people forget, that Aphrodite isn’t “the goddess of love” – at least not in the mere “feelings” level. The god of love is Eros. She is the goddess of beauty, love and lust. Her “love” is more of the physical kind…
“Uhhh… something to talk about… is the Kama Sutra on the syllabus this term?”
Not the main one, but it is in the suggestive reading list for students over 18.

All hail Tom Lehrer!
I have loved Tom Lehrer’s work for almost fifty years.
Even after watching the YouTube video, I’m still having trouble singing the titular line in any way other than that of Jeremy Irons in “The Lion King”.
Me too, since I first heard his album…though I realized I knew four of his songs without knowing where they came from.
I loved him, before I even understood him – I grew up in a Danish family and my father would play his records repeatedly, so I knew the melodies by heart before I ever understood a word of the lyrics (even if my father was not the over-sheltering kind, he chose NOT to translate).

Tom Lehrer put his whole catalog out for free, while he is still alive. https://tomlehrersongs.com/

“I guess I must be dumb
‘Cause you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And you say, ‘What have I got to lose?'”
I’m Steve Rogers and I get all these references…
dang, she got kawaii in that last panel! Also, nice package…
Welp, there’s no stopping them now. I never realized how effective those glasses were until this moment, and soon so will Hiroshi. The freckles that remain are a nice touch.
PACKAGE FOR MISS MINDY!
HIROSHI, QUICK TURN AROUND!!!
I bet he loves her with or without her Specs.
If he were to turn around right then, a catastrophic wardrobe failure would ensue…
Without proper eye protection, significant eye damage can occur…
He saw her without them when she confronted him over his running away from her since she had chosen him to be her boyfriend already at that point.
She never removed her glasses during the confrontation
In the strip ‘Just’ in the last fram it looks like the glamour droped just beforw he completely freaked out and ran.
I wonder how close they are to graduation day since it is their senior year.
I’ve been wondering for a while now – does Mindy really know the effect her glasses have on others?
Yes, it’s why she wears them. They are glamor inhibitors.
A better Question I have asked Before is:
o Since it appears She actually Does NEED Them, is Mindy Near sighted or FAR Sighted?
o Put Another Way – Has She ever Clearly Seen Her Own Face WITHOUT Them?
Either Way They’re more than Fogged, They’re FRIED! All the Circuitry in Her AR-CCG’s was Overloaded by the Radiation Penumbra that jujst came off her Face.
My bad, large bar it is
I think mother may be worried about Mindy’s lack of a sex life . . .
Typically it’s not mother who worries about a lack of a sex life.
It’s Grandmother and Grandfather.
Well, once mother thinks it’s time for her to BECOME a grandmother, she’ll typically start worrying too (though in that case she probably would not take care to equip the progeny with condoms – rather the opposite)
Warning! Giant censor bar in 10…9….8….7….
No wonder Castela freaked out when she first saw him in human form (he was nude at th time).
Girl, I have the feeling it won’t be just your glasses that are fogged up; I wouldn’t want to be in either of your positions right now 🥴
I would
About three weeks.
Better look if there is a second pack in the bag, one with XXL printed on it.
Yes, I could see that coming. Wait, that didn’t come out the way I meant it. Wait, it’s only getting worse…
Now we get a good look at what was only hinted at here: http://wapsisquare.com/comic/not-dead-son/
Castela looked. She seems to have gotten a good long look, too.
So they weren’t quite prepared for the idea of going that far that fast… Or that a parental unit would actually be ok with it, though I can’t blame them on that given our society’s scrambled messaging about sex.
I can see this going anywhere from staying awake to sleeping separately to (just) fondling and sleeping together to everything-but to … And whichever is right for them is fine.

*cheesy 1970’s porn soundtrack starts playing in background*
Oh, I think we can do better than that, – no need to be cheesy about it.

So Hiroshi decided that he wanted to be An Item with her BEFORE he could know that she had the looks of a goddess. That can’t be bad.

Sponsored comic? ^.^
Uh, Trojans. Worst. Condoms. Ever.
@himura: But a brand that doesn’t need explaining, which is important for the gag of a full box to work. (Frankly I never did find a brand I considered more than a necessity.)
TheyFit.
They aren’t ribbed or anything but the custom sizing makes them far less of a hassle.
Looks like East is about to meet West….
Geeze, my glasses are fogged up, too.
It must be from the headlights caught in the dear.
May just be me, but personally find her more attractive with the glasses on
Wait wait… does HIROSHI also get more beefcakey when she takes her glasses off?
He just went from “Band member” to “Football team”.
