The premise of today’s strip is a brief and informal survey of popular group games and their likelihood to be used as a prelude to awkward group nudity and/or sex. But, you may ask, how did this comic strip come about? Why was it created? Let me tell you now.
While attending a small birthday party for an acquaintance, the Author and four other white young-adults were in the early rounds of a game of Settlers of Catan. During a lull in the fast-paced excitement of the game, one of the four males playing the game jokingly suggested they instead play “strip Settlers of Catan,” in the hopes that he would possibly get to see the bra of the female player. During the awkward and strained laughter, it dawned on the Author that this concept was humorous. “It is funny because you would normally not play a strip version of this complex game,” he thought. He immediately pulled the Nexus One from his cargo pocket and entered the web address “www.gooogle.com” into his phone’s web browser (he likes to use this lesser-known address for the popular search engine because it makes him laugh). Only a few searches in, he noticed a hilarious pattern forming that could be used in the creation of a new comic strip. With that idea and a half-bottle of Smirnoff Ice (Green Apple Bite flavor), he shot out the door and ran home to craft this magnificent web cartoon.
