I wonder if it’s worth noting that “After” in German means the anal cavity. So, when I, being German, saw the 3rd panel, guess how my brain interpreted the scene when seeing that word …
Okayyyyy, that’s not how I read it? To me it was like a good lurch (Are there such things?) the baby would slide out. It wasn’t mentioned that there was a specific spot it would be coming from.
And Thomas, I think you are reading too much into the word after, it just means not before something in English. it probably originally came from the German word meaning what you said, though, many eons ago and came to be what we use it for now. A lot of our words are related, but different, kind of like family.
And Bug, you have obviously never had kids, I wish I could say it was that easy. I would have gladly given my husband the job of having our kids, frankly. I hated being pregnant, hated having them, though I love my kids dearly. It was sort of like the Alien movies for nine or so months, and something rather like that crittur pops out of a very sensitive part of the human anatomy (and I don’t mean the after, either). I really do have child bearing hips, that doesn’t make delivery easier, it just makes carrying them a little more successful. I’m not saying it wasn’t easy for me, 4 kids, no drugs, it just wasn’t that easy.
I think this is, like, your fourth comic about dudes being pregnant. They’re all awesome.

Ugh. I should have said Butthole. Poopsihole. Oopsiehole? Damn, we never learned those words in English class.
“Anal CAVITY” made it all the more extreme, so wouldn’t have been as funny with silly words.
Good job, IMHO!
