      I’m guessing she’d rather be naked to eat and just get messy from all the fruit juices without messing up her clothes?

        If I were an apricot farmer, this would be my advertisement.

        “So juicy, you’d want to bathe in it!”

      Like me, Jucika is messy when it comes to eating ripe fruit. She requests a privacy screen from the waiter so that she can eat in the nude and not get her clothing dirty.

      I think those are very juicy apricots, so she’s asking for screens, so she can… have an apricot shower in the middle of the restaurant?

      Yeah, that one seems like a stretch.

        I suppose it is slightly different: they are juicy indeed and she doesn’t want to soil her clothes with sticky sugary juice.

          And also eating ripe peaches is extremely erotic.

          Lets not do Jucika a disservice and inject the modern, much more regressive and repressive sexual identities that seems to have cropped up, especially among the nominal left. Jucika was explicitly a sex positivist and the eroticism is the message as much as it is about not getting your clothes messy.

          It would be a huge disservice to Jucika to inject the wack-a-doodle anti-sexualism some of those on the nominal left have adopted into their politics. Its certainly not a politics I subscribe to: I’m with Jucika; when eating a peach its important to both do it in an incredibly erotic way, and to not get our clothes messy.

      Are you in northern or western Europe? As I discovered when I moved to the UK, it’s virtually impossible to get stone fruit that doesn’t require a hammer and chisel, and are crunchy like apples. 😬

      Elsewhere in the world, they’re juicy, soft and prone to spraying everywhere. Which I think is the intended audience of this strip.

      I think it’s you can request a privacy screen no questions asked, and she takes it to the extreme
