The juciest, spiciest, raciest newspaper comic strip I have ever had the pleasure to read...

When you think of controversial comic strips, 9 Chickweed Lane does not immediately come to mind. And yet, for the past couple of weeks the strip has been, um, adults only. If not in art, at the very least in content. For one thing, Edda and Amos have suddenly discovered they can't keep their hands off each other, and then artist Brooke McEldowney used an entire day to draw a two-panel sex scene between Francis and Diane Edda and Amos that appeared in newspapers all across the country:



Yes, please. More of that. No, really, I'm not being sarcastic.

[I seem to have misread the previous day's panel.]

Huh. I suspect you're right. For some reason I misread the panel transition on November 6th.

It's still brilliant, though.

Yeah. Somehow, I got the impression that McEldowney was trying to do a compare and contrast: that the cuddly, comfortable couple were still doing it even as Amos and Edda were figuring out how it worked.

I'm sure she'll get around to reminding us that married life is hot, too.

Actually Brooke is a he.

Really? Wow, he does really women really well. Better than I do.

I was also surprised when I discovered that.
I'd also thought that scene was between the other couple.
I really like this strip.

ETA: I don't always write like a first-grader. :)

McEldowney is a "he". (http://officialpibgorn.livejournal.com/7935.html)
