First of all, you might be asking yourself what the big undulating orange thing is.

It's Juliette's couch.


03-12-2012

You can see a great image of the couch here, in this strip from 2012. I like a lot about this strip, actually. The decorative cushions that exist solely to be comedically tossed into the air as Juliette hastens away, Elliot's casual entrance and confusion, The spare background that looks like evening sunlight filtering through mini-blinds. The punch-line's decent, too.

"Massaging his trachea with your thumb," though, has nothing charming or affecting about it. And Edda's teen-aged boobs here are drawn larger than her boobs were when she was an actual teen girl. Juliette looks like a creepy lech as she talks about soft spots and Amos, and "soft spot for your thumb" just sounds weird and like a collection of words. Surely the implication isn't that Juliette routinely stuck thumbs in parts of Amos' anatomy!



Nah, I guess she did.
