Having never been female myself, I don’t know what “Unexpected Feelings of Femaleness” would be. Were I a facetious person, I might suggest a sudden urge to go shoe shopping, buy a bunch of makeup, even though they already have a huge drawer of makeup, to hang unicorn posters on her bedroom wall, or to lay on her bed with her feet kicking back and forth in the air while writing “Mrs. (her first name) (his last name)” in her trapper keeper over and over. Those last two might only apply if you were a tweenage girl in the 80’s.

If I were not a facetious person, I might think women can feel it when they look at some guy and their cervix goes, “Yo, get that dude in here.” That’s more of a sarcastic notion. It may not be fully inaccurate though, because as I said I don’t know one way or another.

I can tell you what feelings of maleness are though. It’s walking into a Home Depot and seeing one of those screwdrivers that comes with 16 different screw bits stored in the handle and thinking, “Well I definitely need that.” Even though I’ve already got 7 other screwdrivers with various amounts of screw bits already. Same thing with tiny and/or exceedingly powerful flashlights. You know, that wasn’t so much a problem when I was growing up and flashlights all had sucky 8 watt incandescent bulbs in them – well, except for those big “doubles as a truncheon” flashlights that were powered by 4 D-cell batteries. Or the camping flashlights that took those batteries that were the size of a third of a car battery. My point is, you couldn’t buy a flashlight back then the size of a Pez dispenser that could light up a room like an array of stadium flood lamps.

Here’s another maleness thing (notice I’m not using the term “manliness”) It’s seeing a sexy woman in some negligee that’s like, 80% straps, and your first thought is, “Yes, I quite appreciate that” (<–heavily sanitized version) but more importantly, your second thought is “After she wears that once, she’s going to stuff that in a dresser drawer where it won’t come out again until and anniversary or a birthday or something, and when she does retrieve it, it’s going to be as hard to untangle as 200 yards of Christmas lights.”

I’m going to try something with this new vote incentive.

This month, I’m closing on a new house, selling my Mom’s house, finishing packing Mom’s house, moving city to city to the new house, forwarding mail, canceling utilities, all that. And after that’s done, I get to start the process of selling my old house, which needs a little work before it can realistically go on the market.

SO. I’m going to try and do this vote incentive in stages. Currently it’s just pencils. The TopWebcomics one will update with colors and detail until we get to the no clothes versions, then that will continue over at Patreon. Also there will be a comic or two in between each version to fill out the story.

I know it’s hard to tell from just the pencils, but this is Heatwave and Jiggawatt. The comics will explain why they’re doing what they’re doing. Although I feel like even saying that much makes it easy to guess, but hopefully the journey will still amuse.

Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
