I’m sure Charles Darwin may disagree with my hypothesis regarding the purpose and origin of men’s nipples, but he does not have admin rights to change this. In fact, he is already dead. So, with no one able to disagree, I proudly submit to you today’s comic. Enjoy!
By the way, don’t try this at home. You should go to a friend’s house or rent a motel room and do it there. The electricity coursing through your body may cause you to involuntarily lose control of your sphincter. I don’t think you want to be responsible for that mess… On second thought, don’t try this at all.
That’s really funny, good stuff! And I love the expression on the girl!
Actually, men have nipples because in the womb all zygotes (yes, all) start out as female. The lucky ones develop further into men, but the nipples remain.
You’re a talented cartoonist, however, you work is a little unimaginative. I understand you’re going for the out-in-the-open style but all of your comments are somewhat lacking. In your writing, throughout the website you’re rather witty (FAQs page for instance). I don’t mean to insult you by calling dubbing the wordplay in your comics jejune, but I do mean to give you honest feedback that you need to add more jocular lines. Good luck–

Works better with one of those spark igniters from a propane grill… or a shock prod. 12 volts DC isn’t gonna do much more than tingle your tongue if you lick it.
Don’t play with electricity unmonitored. Always have a friend (a real friend, not some loon who’ll laugh as you croak) around as safety man. Same goes if you like strangulation play, as Vaughn Bode and David Carradine found out the hard way…
Men have nipples because the default state of all mammals which include humans is female i.e. through the XX chromosomes when you remove a bit of the last chromosomes to get XY you get males. The genetic programing for nipples is not included in the bit that gets removed.
Hope that answers you questions.

Wow, thanks! I’ve been called many, many things in my life. But, I’ve never been called “jejune” before. It’s actually kinda fun to be picked on by an intellectual heavy weight. My understanding is that “jejune” means naive, simplistic, and superficial. I think that pretty much captures the very essence of Bottoms Up, if you ask me. If you’re looking for deep, meaningful, soul-searching content, you’ve come to the wrong place, buddy.
we have em so we don’t look like freaky ass cartoon characters…
Sorry, posting well after anyone is going to read this, but..
@Tom, @J: Seriously, it’s called humor. Look it up. Read about it, practice it, or at least recognize it.
Try to be a little less staid. That goes for you too, Mike S.
