"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

I must assume that this is leading to something excellent, because it's rather unexciting as it stands.

Sometimes Mr. Bear's dialogue gets over-precious to the point of being more like a parody of the character than the character itself.

When you hang most of a given strip on his delivering a whole lotta dialogue, this problem becomes more... uhm... problamatic.

And though guys do not courtesy flush, polite guys certainly light some incense or something to knock the stank down a bit.

my roommates are really big on Oust.

this makes it almost worse, for me. Because... I come into the bathroom, and it smells like horrible horrible chemical shit (they wayyyyy over-do it) and then I start thinking about how bad it must have smelled for them to think that they needed this much Oust, and then I start thinking I can smell a little bit of the smell through all the Oust...

I have problems.

The fact that the vapors are actually illustrated is by far the best part of this strip to me. The lavatory mist all sneakin' out like a ghost...

Guys don't courtesy flush? I courtesy flush. I give MYSELF courtesy flushes. And in my downstairs bathroom I flush twice because the pressure's kinda weak.

I love how Lyle's visible stench in panel five looks like a Hot Rod flame decal. OF COURSE that's what Lyle's visible stench would look like. But that's it, overall C+.

Daaaaamn, theinev. Sounds like you need to torch up a pre-emptive Shitandle(tm) before you go in there.

I don't mind if someone doesn't courtesy flush. As long as they don't purposely shut the windows and turn the heater on after a big dump, I'm a happy camper.

We keep a phalanx of candles near the tub.  They're laid out in such a way that it suggests the creation of romantic atmosphere for a bubble bath or something, but really they're used more often in the aforementioned Shitandle capacity.  Once that stank is in the air, a courtesy flush ain't gonna help.

This explains why two bathrooms is a requirement for my living situation. Me and The Boy have the 'guest' bathroom and the only rules are close the door and leave the vent fan on.

Spouse has the master bath which is not ours to use ever.

It's prevented a lot of warfare over the years.

Testify!

This is our technique as well. Easier for all concerned...

The only man I have lived with, Crap Dude ex fiance.. I insisted on getting a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment. I had my bathroom, and he had his. It also prevented a lot of warfare over the years.

2 bath is a little far, what the hell did he do to the bath?

Do you crazy Aussies have WCs or something? Outhouses? In Amurikah, we have these things called "bathrooms". They contain a toilet, sink, and either a bathtub (normally with a showerhead) or a shower.

I know they have those sweet dual flush toilets in Australia. I actually think they are required in new contruction. Here in the midwest of the US I can't even find one.  :(
