Toilet Mysteries
This comic might not make a lick of sense. Though I don’t think I’m spoiling anything by saying that the butler probably did it.
Also, it’s vacation time here at Optipess Studios, which means I’ll be taking a couple weeks off from posting comics while pretending to enjoy being outside or something. To make sure you won’t miss the next comic update, just subscribe to my handy RSS feed to get instantaneous notice of new comic/blog posts. Alternatively, you can follow me on Twitter for the same updates + other nonsense.
Alright, enjoy the next couple Optipess-free weeks! And don’t worry, I’ll be back in a jiffy!
Faszinating, he wipes standing up. Maybe he’s too curious?
That’s not THAT fasinating, lots of people wipe standing up. d:
It allows to contemplate over lost friends (and corn)
Wipe standing up? That’s crazy! Why would you do that? And I had some trouble understanding this comic, but I think I’ve got it now. The word “various” indicates that it’s four separate situations, and not a continuity where he eventually discovers blood in his poop and subsequently gets stabbed by his butler who’s been serving him poisoned tea.
wait…
how does one not wipe standing up?
doesnt the toilet seat get in the way if youre sitting down?
Gillsing got the right idea – the “various” word is key, although it didn’t occur to me that the butler’s tea could be poisioned. But thinking about it now makes perfect(?) sense!
As for the wiping issue, it’s uh… definitely interesting to hear about the different techniques in use.
Also, I noticed that the correct spelling is actually “asparagus” in the second panel, but I may not be able to fix that just yet. Anyway, has anyone experienced that one? In my original norwegian version of this strip, the urine had a smell of a certain brand of breakfast cereal. Maybe that’s a more common occurence?
Asparagus smells all over the world. AND I think I know the cereal: It’s Kellog’s Smacks (Tm) isn’t it? There are oh so many occasions for urine to smell like Smacks without even having eaten some… this darned frog!
Arsenic?…um…I mean…
I had no idea people wiped standing up. I’m off to a public bathroom with a drill to go see for myself. Seriously though, I thought everyone wiped the same way, with one foot on the doorknob.
On a related note: Am I the only one who enjoys seeing how long it takes to piss red after eating a bunch of beets?

Another one here who’s amused by pissing purple, but not everyone passes the pigment though their kidneys. I’ve occasionally been alarmed before recalling that bowl of borscht, but usually the purplish tinge is sufficient tipoff that I’m not dying just yet.
@sandy what the hell!?!?!?!? the doorknob really? and why do u like seeing yourself piss red kinda creepy if you ask me!
The chat is more dementia material than the comic itself :D
