Chapter V: IX
Reader’s choice…
- Some things should be private! To skip the comic, click on to the next one using the usual navigation links.
- It’s saucy, but not completely scandalous; four words: “carefully placed word balloons.” To continue to the comic, click here.
Fate tried to stop this comic from happening. I sleepily overwrote the high-resolution file when I woke up this morning and had to recreate parts, so some of it might look blurry. Maybe that’s how I want it to look. Yes. Yes it is.
If anyone asks you, Petronia Iusta is well over the of-age age in her (or your) jurisdiction. Should someone ask.
Read it now; I might lose courage and delete it.
Very strategic placed word balloons, and fog, and shadows and she’s even wearing a bra while sleeping. ๐
If I were in Felix’s shoes I would also be very wary of anybody I do not know and trust. Urbana and Iraneous are those. The tenants are probably safe but why take risk that aren’t needed.
But I think that he’s erring by trying to keep it a secret. Things like this in a household are really hard to keep hidden and when they are brought to light they usually look worse than the situation requires.
Those Roman ladies’ support garments are a chore to take on and off; that’s the story I’m sticking to.
Urbana might not care either way–she’s just there to do her job helping take care of the baby–but Irenaeus might have opinions.
If I remember correctly the Pompeiian porn murals show the business girls wearing their foundation garment whilst working. So it may have been a Roman thing.
And no taking it down! I think it’s really sweet, actually, and any issues are with the beholders; honi soit qui mal y pense
Oh, you must mean the tasteful Pompeiian catalogues of business services….
It does seem to be a Roman thing, at least in certain circumstances. Along with poetry exhorting women to keep those things under strict control.
The post will stay. The couple will get to keep their moment….
Aww, that’s sweet…. I particularly like the part about the cat. Don’t you dare pull this one, just let it ride… like Justa.
I suppose I needed some encouragement to keep it online.
And more word balloons. Word balloons everywhere.
You have our support. Be brave. It is quite tame by these days standards. Frankly I’ve seen more explicit drawings in manga that is targeted for 14 year olds.
I’ll strive to keep the word balloons and shadows artfully arranged, but no promises about the Roman ladies’ support garments.
I figured 14-year-old comics readers have seen all sorts of sorts (especially in manga).
I can live with the Roman ladies’ support garments. After all, my imagination is quite active thank you very much.
Irenaeus might be wise to keep his mouth shut… this is Felix of the Accounting Department after all. Strange things have been known to happen in the night… like people falling from high places.
Rome has tall buildings. And convenient sewer openings to drop inconvenient persons into.
Beautifully done. I love it. <3
And not a single potted plant needed.
No taking it down! It’s adorable. And really there’s no naughty visible anywhere at all. ๐
I bow to popular opinion ๐
If some nutball chooses to click on a comic PROTECTED BY VENUS then gets their knickers in a twist over it, that’s their problem, not yours!
I vote to keep it.
Besides, it has important information. Like THE CAT KNOWS!
dun Dun DUN!
This could turn out to be an important plot point. Like Chekov’s gun. Wil the cat use the information to get regular supplies of catnip? Does the cat have imperial connections?? You never know.
Purr!
The cat tells Damon everything.
It’s true. But does Damon speak cat?
I like the cat. It’s just the silly sort of thing that come out of the mouths of people whose minds are on other things…like the other people.
Lovely work.
Thanks ๐
The funny thing would be that despite their precautions they are discovered by Urbana’s child. Children go everywhere and can spot people at their most intimate moments.
Yeah but Princess Leia (yep, I named her that in my brain) might be pre-verbal and as the mum of a 3yo myself I can tell you that people rarely believe the tall tales that toddlers tell!
I envy the cat, it’s in the loop.
Cats see all, know all.
