its called humour. the implication that elly’s other half is a mosquito ( all over her, trying to take a bite) If she had a shower, the pun couldn’t be made. The whole point is to entertain, not be realistic., and today’s strip successfully entertained.
Sorry, comicsssfan, you’re mistaking a mature, intelligent, human male with a typical pet dog. They’re both mammals, true, but the mature, intelligent human male doesn’t “feel he has to do something about it” every time he’s sexually stimulated.
I can’t for THE LIFE OF ME, understand why people go to bed without getting a bath or shower! Sleep is to be peaceful and restful, I prefer being clean when I go to sleep as opposed to having the dirt of the day all over me. Only time I don’t bathe before bed is if I am too sick to, which doesn’t happen often “knock on wood”!

I wonder. Can a bug-zapping lamp also double as a night-light?

Been there. Done that. Tasted awful.(It’s a bad sign when you kiss your wife and have to scrape your tongue.)

So she doesn’t wash her face or wash the bug spray off before bed?

Yup. Husband makes me shower after I’ve had repellent on. The thing is, it takes about three showers to get the scent off. Insidious stuff.

I used to use it till I saw the DEET on my hands was leaving fingerprints in my plastic cups. Not on but actually melted in.

Once again, it’s that magic word, SHOWER! And that include both of you!
