True story.. when I was a kid my kid step brother was asking stupid questions in his usual annoying way, the adult ladies were talking and he piped up “what’s a period?” To which I immediately replied “it’s the dot at the end of a sentence.”
So many comments, but it’s hard to concentrate with the Jethro Tull playing so loud.(That’s better: now I’ve turned down the volume on the Menstrual in the Gallery album.)

I thought that the joke was a reference to racist minstrel shows. Then I got it.

Good to see that the ever-vigilant Comic Strip Censor Guy is getting in the way of the bio-humor. What a prude he is!
