        Powerpuff girl: “Someday, maybe we’ll be as developed as you!”
        Lex Luthor: “Pfftch! Snerk! LOLOLOLOL”

      Not true. Most brothers will go “DUDE! PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!” to which I would respond “Sure. As soon as you put down the toilet seat and put the toilet paper on the roll. If you’re gonna act like a stereotypical male, I’m gonna act like a stereotypical female.” mwahahaha!

    Pantaloons, (n.)

    A nether habiliment of the adult civilized male. The garment is tubular and unprovided with hinges at the points of flexion. Supposed to have been invented by a humorist. Called “trousers” by the enlightened and “pants” by the unworthy.

      I’m sensing some one-sided sibling rivalry. Walky doesn’t seem to care, but Sal’s still nursing a grudge. She’s just interpreting everything Walky says as a snark.

        I’m fairly certain she’s right in that regard. Trying and doing are two separate things, after all.

        And that made me think of an interesting idea, where Walky was the evil twin always getting his sister in trouble.

        That’s one where I’ve never understood the objection. I don’t fetishize it, but really, if siblings want to, then why is that odder than furries, BDSM, or crushing on cartoon characters? There’s plenty of weird sex out there, and as long as it’s consenting adults, who cares?

            To me the difference is the results… if it causes a considerable increase in the incidence of genetic disorders and birth defects, that’s Mother Nature’s way of saying you shouldn’t be doing it. If it only causes permanent harm when you do it wrong, it’s fine, but be careful.

              So…it’s fine as long as they use birth control? That makes sense to me, that way they don’t hurt any potential kids.

              @SUTBEric, I’m not saying you should do your sister, just that if someone else wants to, they should be able to. Why do you object to a couple doing something that doesn’t affect you in any way?

              Yeah, but it really doesn’t except over a period of several generations. Even then it is certainly less harmful than many legal activities. Sibling incest is traditionally reserved for divine couples, necessary to prevent their “blood” mixing with mortals (which is in many cases considered fatal for the mortal involved anyway), and is thus taboo because it is acting above your station. Every culture has incest taboos, but every culture defines incest differently; just like with cannibalism . . . hmm, cannibaltwinsim (oh yeah).

            Legality often has only a passing association with morality. Sodomy is illegal in many states, but gay characters aren’t automatically objected to by anyone other than bigots.

              But just because legality CAN be unconnected with morality, doesn’t mean it IS. That’d be like saying that necrophilia might be okay, even though it’s illegal. (Granted, your “consenting adults” stipulation earlier keeps that from being true, but what if they signed some sort of document prior to death? Ew this is gross I’m gonna stop talking about it.)

              Just because one thing is/was illegal and shouldn’t be, doesn’t mean that all illegal acts shouldn’t be. There are some things that are just wrong, and the psychological/genetic effects that incest has are just more hints towards its wrongness.

                The psychological effects are only on the involved parties, so, again, that’s no one’s business except their own. The genetic effects are iffier, but if they’re safe the issue doesn’t come up, and if they aren’t, it’s no different from a woman over 40* having kids.

                As for the necrophilia example, consent is the issue. If the person who died signed a document beforehand, then I have no objection. “Sick and wrong” is not the same as immoral.

                *There’s a significantly increased chance of Down Syndrome once the mother passes 40.

                  not conforming to the patterns of conduct usually accepted or established as consistent with principles of personal and social ethics.

                  Depends on your dictionary.

                  Immoral: Contrary to accepted moral principles.
                  Well, not much help, so let’s check out “moral”
                  Moral: Of and concerned with the principles of right and wrong in relation to human action.

                  I don’t see incest as morally wrong, given that definition.

                Just because not all acts not sanctioned by law are wrong doesn’t mean that all acts not sanctioned by law are right?

                Well okay, that’s fine. An illegal act can be either morally correct or immoral. Just…. what was up with that previous point then? The one where we were supposed to object to it because it’s illegal.

                  The first post was a response to comparing incest to furries or people into BDSM. The second was more saying “Just because legality CAN be unconnected to morality, doesn’t mean it should be completely ignored in processing morality.” Hopefully that keeps things clear.

                  Legality should be considered when making decisions, and it can be a good shorthand for determining morality in some situations, but in general, I think legality has no bearing on morality. If a moral act is illegal, then the law is wrong.

            Well, homosexual acts were also against the law at some point, so I dunno if “it’s illegal” is an ironclad argument against the practice.

            In a strictly pragmatic sense, it shouldn’t be a problem so long as both parties can legally consent and one of them isn’t an authority figure. In all other senses, OH MY LORD NOOOOOOOOOO.

              We also imprint on our relatives that we grow up with, in a way that discourages sexual attraction. Basically, nature has designed us not to want to bone our siblings.
              So it might be legal, but it suggests some… awkward social and psychological dynamics.
              In layman’s terms, it is F***ED UP.

                See, this makes me wonder how early on Sal was sent to Catholic school. The Westermarck effect is based off physical proximity, not biological similarity. Theoretically, if Sal and Walky were separated before the critical period, they might actually be more likely to want to bone each other, thanks to genetic sexual attraction.

                …And that’s waaaaaay too much of my morning spent contemplating fictional incest. G’night, folks.

                  Westermarck happens between ages 0-6. They’re similar enough in age to be in college — wait, aren’t they both freshmen, too? How’s that work? — and Sal was sent off as a problem child, so I assume they had perfectly standard imprinting opportunity.

                  (Or anti-imprinting; the flipside is genetic sexual attraction, very strong attraction to close relatives when you *didn’t* grow up together.)

    I don’t get it.

    Why would Walky be telling Billie to buy pajama jeans? I could understand him telling Dorothy to get Pajama Jeans, but Billie just doesn’t make sense. Unless of course Billie has been known to bemoan the lack of pants that are both stylish and comfortable.

    Or is it because Billie and Walky wear the same size pants and this is his sneaky way of getting pajama jeans for himself without going into a women’s shop(assuming that pajama jeans are strictly a woman’s item).

          Half of us have one on the outside too. Well, at least the ones named Joe.

    I lived in a co-ed dorm myself and don’t recall ever seeing the ladies answering the door in just their panties. Granted I was in the female hallways very rarely and never in the morning where they might be coming or going in various states of undress to see if answering the door in just their unmentionables was a common thing or not.

    Where was I going with this again?

      Some women are okay with random strangers seeing them in shirt and undies. See also: My sister.

          I wasn’t making a judgment, I was just saying because so many people here seem to have their mind blown by the idea that some women are okay with being seen in their underwear.

    It took me a while to “get” it, but here’s the rub:

    Walky really wanted to tell Billie about pants. He didn’t notice that Sal wasn’t wearing any until the last panel, upon looking down. The “unfortunate coincidence” refers to the situation described above.

    It does NOT refer to the fact that Sal says “Fuck you!” to Walky while he’s staring at her crotch.

    So… is that a sports bra? Or is it a wifebeater designed for a twelve-year-old dwarf? Because that’s an awful lot of exposed midriff for a wifebeater. Although I guess Sal could just cut the bottom third off her shirts ’cause, y’know, she’s a rebel.

      shes a biker. its a wife beater.

      probably has a wife to go with it. She’s pissed cause walky’s interrupting her.

      *crack* “Thank you please may i have another!”

    he needs better snaps for his sister. this is sibling banter! that third panel i’da said something like:

    “Yeah, cause I care about your life. My reports to the higher ups are in MLA format.”

    or “Be polite. When your roommate shaves all your hair off while you sleep, you’re gonna need help hiding the body. (points to self) Yo!”

    or on the fifth panel: “BTW you may wanna stand out of the doorway before someone sees your balls hangin’ out…again.”

      My snappy response for panel three would have been, “Why yes, because it’s so controversial to find you in your dorm room. Oh the horror!”

    Oh, okay storyline. I was kinda curious what happened with Dorothy and Walky the other night, but your right. What we *really* needed was an update on Walky’s ongoing quest for panjama jeans. Truly gripping entertainment.

Who's that guy over there?
