So both my wife and I wish we could transfer the knowledge this comic provides as I would have talked with her to get one just after we were married and if she knew she might have hit planned parenthood at 18. The author is I think something like 10 years younger than us. Maybe a bit less. Its the type of thing that makes you want to live in the future. I came from a family of seven kids and I know my parents did not really get condoms until late in life and I had this conversation with an elderly lady when I was in college who grew up in the south and was pregnant when she had believed the stork brought babies. Drives me crazy the folks in my country who want to be like the past. Of course what they want is for lesser folk to live like the past while they reap the fruits of a modern life.
Thank you for the context. I would never have figure out without being told that the doctor never offered this before. It was so obvious to me: You got anesthetic at the dentist, before surgery of any sort, before being stitch up, when you gave birth. I assumed she had to refuse it at some point for some mysterious reason I couldn’t figure out. I mean for what other reason would she go trough that much pain purposefully. Now I mad at the doctor with her.
