It never said what kind of smell though…for all they know he could have been insinuating it smelled good (I know from the inside joke thing that came out later that he wasn’t) but at the time it was published and with no prior knowledge, how did anyone know which way to take it and I think it was extremely wrong of people to assume he meant it in a negative way right off the bat, looking for controversy in comics is just plain sad

For all of the resultant feedback generated with regards to the city in question in this installment of the strip, the parody of AAA in panel two far is more amusing. And accurate.
