“Machinations” explores the pitfalls of setting up a doubles appointment for a client. There’s often a multitude of emails and phone calls getting all the details in place, and locating another girl who agrees to the terms of the session and her fee. A major pain, but the payoff is that the work is split in half and is often alotta fun.
Also, this week’s strip on Carnal Nation puts names to a few familiar characters who’ve appeared in the strip in the past. Lucy approaches sex work from a holistic, tantric viewpoint, and like many of us, does sex work to support her various art projects. Kaitlin is the prototypical college co-ed – young, pretty, and supplementing what her daddy doesn’t give her for various college expenses (clothes, partying, books, etc.) In future strips, we’ll learn more about Rudy, an overweight yet in-your-face sex worker, and Barb, a sw who probably should have retired about 10 years ago, but never managed to put together either enough money to completely retire or amass any particular skill set to return to the general workforce. Beauty fades, as do friendships, lovers and memories of a better time! Enjoy this week’s strip
