They’re in Brussels, Amos has the hiccups, they’ve made up, both have professed their devotion to each other…
Are the sisters back at the parochial school about to flip their wimples?
Sure hope so! …but in a family newspaper strip, I think not.
Nah, Sister Attila, or whatever she’s called, will probably call Edda on her cell phone just before it happens for no apparent reason other than to tell her “how proud” she is of Edda, and that’ll cool them off. Then the punchline will be something about her always knowing when her students are up to something, even overseas.
I think that they are. But it will have to be heavily sanitized to avoid problems.
Maybe, but I’m kind of leaning more towards awkwardly humorous misunderstanding. Who knows?
The hiccups will cease, but the immediacy of a sexual encounter will cause Amos to start farting.
I WIN!
Great idea. Brooke succeeded in sanitizing the situation while describing that they tried multiple positions.
I wonder if any of the papers blocked at at this harmless level?
Heh…you mean the female version of Thorax in a habit? I swear McEldowney used the same model for Thorax and that Mother Superior…
Brooke’s other comic, the web-only Pibgorn, is considerably racier. The same day that he’s only suggesting what Amos and Edda are up to, over in Pibgorn he’s showing actual penetration.
It’s a bit off-puttingly androgynous that one can’t tell whose hands are whose. I assume Edda is on top.
Considering that I don’t think Amos could pull it together enough to top a specially-modified plushie, let alone a woman with Edda’s force of personality, I’d assume that as well.
None of Brooke McEldowney’s males seem capable of mounting anything. They’re all a bunch of passive dominatrix fodder.
Burkhardt seemed to be taking the initiative with Isabel a few weeks back…
Yep! That’s penetration all right! 
Given the number of hand-pairings in today’s strip, I’m guessing they both had their turns at being on top.
I thought it was a PalmOlive ad at first.
He’s done this before, when (former priest) Francis and (former nun) Diane consummated their marriage. See here.
(I remember this because I was impressed by the effect. Neither “romantic” nor “erotic” describe it accurately, but it has elements of both.)
I’m happy for them, on the condition that McEldowney stops writing them as such emo bitches. Otherwise I’ll continue wanting to slap them both silly.
Side note: Francis and Diane’s encounters led them into an unplanned pregnancy because they didn’t use birth control and screwed like rabbits for a week or something. I wonder if Edda will find herself in the family way too?
Frankly, if I were Edda, the thought of telling Juliette that I was pregnant would make my ova literally run away from ANY sperm…
YEARS ago, there was a Chickweed where Amos wanted to tell Edda something very important about himself, but couldn’t quite remember what it was. The strip then ‘fast-forwarded’ about 15 years to when they were married, and had about ten kids.
