Manly Guys Doing Manly Things

There is a lot of power in a penny. That's why I stockpile.

I remember being the only guy in my dorm who knew how to wash and fold laundry. Folk would watch me like I was some kind of magician.

Years ago I sublet an apartment from a fellow who it turned out had never actually done laundry before and I had to teach him. When he was young, his mother had done it, he stayed home through college until he married, at which point wifey did it, and after she divorced him, his live-in girlfriend (guess why the marriage collapsed) did it. The reason he was subletting to me is that the girlfriend had left him and she was paying most of the rent too....

Wow, he sounds like a real winner...

I agree that you can wear a good pair of jeans for a long freaking time without washing them, but even those you have to wash sometime.

Jeans don't just get dirty, dirty jeans reek.

The business office at my college exchanges quarters, so the demand isn't too bad here. But I can imagine the catastrophe without that buffer for people without cars.

My college dorms had change machines that were usually reliably filled with enough quarters to suit whatever needs we had.

We had laundry cards. Small campus, so we only had two card reload machines. I wonder if they ever added a third when I pointed out an accessible place it could go.

80 cents per load, in each machine.

We have an account that we can use for a whole bunch of stuff. $1 for 35 minutes in a washer, 75 cents for 45 minutes in the dryer.

The dryers are shit, so you usually have to pay twice.

Are they shit, or did nobody ever empty the lint-catcher?

Oh, also, my freshman year, a guy's girlfriend was doing his laundry for him, and I just found that odd. I'd been doing my own laundry since middle school. But, maybe it's sweet. Dirty, but sweet.

They're just generally bad. I check and clean the catcher before and clean it after.

@Tidal Wave: It gets better...at the end of the second month, he revealed that he was moving out, as in immediately, and he'd neglected to tell the landlord that he was subletting the apartment, which meant that I too had to scramble to find somewhere to live.

Oh, and the thing that should have tipped me off in the first place...his name was Roach.

I know how to do laundry, but I only own like... three pairs of pants, so those don't get washed for a while.

And I can't smell (only really bad stuff), so that ends up being true for a lot of things...

... I don't think I've ever done laundry in my life.

What are you, rich or just lazy?

He could be a nudist, or Jonesy herself.

The other possibilitly is young.

Yup, that one. Well, young by some standards. Not going-to-jail ones, unfortunately.

So a new strip has gone up, in color. I'm surprised she didn't color the last one, though.

... Why did she blend both of the movie costumes?

Also the punchline was brilliant.

... I get Judge Dredd, but pretty much nothing else at all.

I think it is a Lollipop Chainsaw reference.

^ Yep.

Most of the time, when in doubt about the references check the tags for the strip.
