I did. It’s definitely something you don’t want to search for on your work PC. 😀

I think I shouldn’t google for that on any PC I own. The ads you see (if any get past adblock) are based on your search history, among other things.

Maybe on someone else’s PC… 😛
(and using a search engine like DuckDuckGo)

That’s what incognito mode is for.

You should definitely not google that at work. I’m surprised people don’t know what that actually is!

In the end it was the most obvious answer, but it isn’t so clear cut with many of those wordings.

I never heard about it either. You need to come into contact with that word, and despite some rambunctious erotic people I converse with it just isn’t used.

Online I haven’t found this word yet either, until this comic. It seems easy enough to just not get into contact with the word, especially with the cornucopia of other words for that act.

I use urban dictionary a lot because it’s just text, but it will explain the thing I’m scared of googling.

I’ll save you all the googling and just outright tell you it’s a euphemism for oral sex. Now you know.

To expand just a wee bit more, a specific type of oral sex. Dude on back; lady straddling face. Riding his moustache like it was a seat.

Which makes Ethan’s question as to whether one used the mustache like handlebars for the mustache rides even funnier.

I’m guessing Ethan is one of those people who just can’t grow facial hair?

…Probably Lucas, too, otherwise I’m sure Ethan would have asked him about moustache rides by now.

Ethan does have a few chin whiskers (look closely in final panel). Seems like he has about the amount of facial hair I had at 13, not 25 (or however old he’s supposed to be in this).

What it smells like DEFINITELY depends on whether any moustache rides were involved

all the pent up ethaness from the existential crisis is coming out with mustache trivia demands.

Tim, I don’t know how you come up with the lines for Ethan, but thank you for your delightful mind.

What DOES it smell like… I believe warm buttered toast, a dash of lavender with hints of wood smoke, and a hoppy dark beer.

It’s all fun and games till analogue starts asking cops some very awkward follow up questions.

Any police officer wouldn’t be thrown for much of a loop with Ethan – they encounter super weird behavior every day.

Turns out Ben does have a superpower: dealing calmly with extremely weird people.

Meeting Ethan and not slowly backing out of the shop shows that Ben has skills to deal with small children. Makes me wonder if he is the oldest of several siblings.

Strangely enough for Ben, I’ve watched enough police videos to know that Ethan would be a Tuesday in comparison to Ben’s experiences in his line of work. 😳

Well for what it’s worth, now that he’s had a moment to get accustomed, he seems more amused than frustrated by Ethan’s eccentricities. That’s probably a good sign.

“What does it smell like?”

And now Ben is going to think about it enough to want to shave it off.

So far Ben has taken Ethan’s insanity in stride. That’s a point towards him being one of the good ones.

Most smell, if any, would come from the perspiration of the upper lip and other skin around, so no different experience from moustacheless people.

Why do I find this very funny and disturbing at the same time?
