I’m pretty sure the hand lotion is there to drive the point home if nothing else. Besides, I highly recommend it. Only because someone else told me about it. Yeah, that’s it. O_o
Reminded me somewhat of the awesome series, “The Further Adventures Of Cupid and Eros”, though that show makes Cupid more likeable, and is more realistic with it’s diversity.
@moorsyjam: Well, he wishes for a mutual love, and this is probably the closest he’ll ever get. *Cue sad violin music.*
@Alf, @Yacine: Hah yeah, the hand lotion was included to further service the joke, and not because I have any (ahem) experience using it.
(Another similar example of me including a more “universal” element instead of one I would be more familiar with is the toilet flush mechanic in the recent “Close Encounter of the #2 Kind” strip. I think there may be a few more as well.)
That’s a pretty hard shot, getting yourself in the shoulder with a bow and arrow. Well, unless he just stabbed himself with it, in which case, I must say, that’s dedication to masturbation!
Hahaha, this reminded me of myself… is that why I am watching TV for hours after hours after hours… ;)
The only real surprise is that the TV only has one arrow lodged in it… Although I guess that all it takes is one!
Yankees can’t make wanking jokes without hand lotion.
lol
Beautiful. Just – beautiful. :)
My favourite strip in a long time.
Making it so he loves porn? It’s like he’s forcing himself to watch it.
Haha
The hand lotion really rubbed it in :-)
Alf, Kristian is Norwegian, not American.

I’d need a extra room just to store arrows.

This is one of my personal favourites. Especially because Cupid looks a little like Marlon Brando.
Kristian,
What has happened to Psyche (his wife)?
She was mortal, a couple of millennia ago.
Also, I note a certain similarity between overaged Cupid, and overaged Calvin from a while back.
