Goin’ Solo
Stepped as it is in dark sexual fiction, today’s comic does have at least one fact going for it. There was an article in Newsweeksaying, for all the world to see, that teens use the term “Space Monkey” as a euphemism for autoerotic asphyxiation.
We don’t know how they got there from here, but knock it off kids. You’ve got plenty of weird sexual mores to get into for the rest of your life. Don’t blow it now by choking yourself to death. In fact, blow everything later. That could be one of those mores.
I’m frankly shocked that we have a comic up today and Penny Arcade so far doesn’t. I’ve woken up to a crazy-ass world where we update regularly, and it feels so damn fine. Like a “Space Monkey,” even.
Personal experience
I wish I could say that today’s comic was strictly influenced by our demented imaginations and a Newsweek article, but it is just not so. I’m a bit embarrassed to say I’ve had my own experience with space monkeying.
One time I choked on an ice cube. And until the natural heats of my throat melted it and brought about air passage freedom, I totally got off to it. I’m not welcome at the Olive Garden anymore.
