nsfw tag just for good measure. I had shared this strip in the comments of a post a few weeks ago, so if it seems familiar, that’s probably why. Additional context: the flask looking thing in the 3rd panel is a Hungarian decanter, so I believe the joke is about their preference for alcohol.
As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520.
Yeah, I wouldn’t say there’s much of a message intended in these either, other than that she’s often relatable and sticks up for herself. A big part of the humor is that she’s ditsy and free-spirited, and there’s definitely a trend of “fan-service”, or titillation, or whatever you want to call it. I like the art, the jokes are good, and I largely appreciate it as a window into the past.
I haven’t delved into fan art myself, but I can imagine. Fan art on the internet always seems to go down that path…
I also like to think of her as quirky, quick-thinking and resourceful. I guess when the character is generally so likeable, we tend to want them to be sort of avatars of what we admire, I dunno…
