Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 22, 2022

Given the way global warming is going, I suspect the natural look will be quite widely accepted about 30-40 years from now.

“Excuse me while I whip this out.”

When I visited the Spanish Mediterranean coast I expected to see a bunch of bronzed beauties.

Much to my dismay all I saw was a bunch of fat old dudes. At least their guts covered their tiny pricks for the most part.

It’s important to know your limits

Free the toes!

In SoCal short are great about 11 of the twelve months

Wouldn’t be best style for runners. A little support is needed.

Free the N——e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_the_nipple

FKK all the way!!!

Or, as my five year old daughter answered, “I’m airing out butt!”

Free the feet.

The biggest problem I have with freeing more is that the more you free the more you have to put sunscreen onto. And worst, the more you have to get that gunky, sticky, impossible-to-scrub-off @#$$ sunscreen afterwards. (Can you tell I. HATE. SUNSCREEN.??? Much as I love the hot weather and would love to feel the sun ALL OVER, I actually wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts when biking in 115 degree weather here in AZ just so that I can keep the necessity for sunscreen to an absolute rock bottom minimum!)

…thighs?

(Depends on the shorts. I’m seeing a lot of shorts lately that hang down below the knees.)

Contrary to the surfeit of bad jokes, the point of clothing-optional beaches (and other places) isn’t to show off one’s body to others. It’s to feel comfortable in one’s body, physically and psychologically.

For many people, social conditioning has made nudity so psychologically threatening that they can’t enjoy the physical comfort. (And depending on an individual’s shape, nudity may lead to physical discomfort caused by the chafing of one skin surface against another.) It really isn’t for everyone.

Myself, I find the idea of walking around without pockets counterproductive.

Free willie!

Nudity is common and children can see it and be it in Europe as the human body isn’t considered a vile thing.

Amusing that this comic is accompanied by an ad for thong bikinis and unidentifiable things racier than that.

What? Nobody’s said “Sun’s out, buns out!” yet? What’s with the obsession with “the naughty bits” (TM Monty Python’s Flying Circus) up front?
