Guest Comic: The Frumps
Nandigāma Men don’t talk. That’s the rule, right? When asked how we’re doing, we’re suppose to answer: Fine. When we hurt inside we aren’t allowed to go to our buddies and find a shoulder to cry on. We’re supposed to bottle it all up and carry it with us for years. Until one day it all explodes and we end up crying in the hotel shower while on a business trip in Japan.
buy gabapentin australia Men don’t talk? Bullshit, I say. We talk. We talk about our exes. We talk about that one asshole we hate so much. We talk about the new girl we met. We talk about our hopes, our dreams, our favourite drinks, and yes, we talk about relationships. We’ll deny it of course. But deep inside our man club, away from prying ears, we talk.
And yet in our western culture we have to hide it all away. Bottle it up. Be strong. Be distant. And should one ever even consider talking about relationship issues, then he deserves a swift kick in the nuts and eradicated off the face of the Earth. Because if he tried to talk to us once, he might try it again.
That’s the way it’s suppose to go, right?

Burn baby burn! 🙂
I DON’T NEED TO TALK!!! I DON’T NEED TO TALK!!!
I’d say that shot straightened him up, but he probably got bent!
I think this is an acceptable alternative. Lighter fluid won’t cut it.
Big no on “balls armor” for Trevor, but all of the guys should get tested. I’m sensing a no on invulnerable to flames as well.
My wife is amazed that my buddies and I can go hang out in a bar and not ever talk.
That wouldn’t work on me, my wife keeps mine in a jar in her nightstand.
…
Stop talking!
getting whacked in the balls will never be not funny to me. just saying. even if you call it a wand. nice guest strip, great work!
Fire fixes everything… Well, except forest fires… It kind of causes them… It wasn’t me! Honest!!
A very well done comic. And honestly, I think this “rule” is also applied in the eastern world as well and not just in the west. As you said, for some reason it’s “not ok” for men to have feelings and express them which is just BS if you ask me.
I feel….like that punch to the junk would have hurt a lot.
What’s all this fuss about men and expressing emotions? After all, men are only a couple of body parts away from women, anyway! Only human, right? Great strip and article too, Saeed!
