safe for work

I hate to sound like a prude, but I mostly read comics when I'm at work, and it would be great if ohnorobot could somehow allow comics to be flagged as 'unsafe for work', just because I'd like to, you know, not get fired.

This is a good idea, and there should be something along these lines soon! We'd probably allow readers/comic owners to mark the comic as rated G, PG, R, or X.

Or "AI" for "Awesomeness Itself".

Yeah, but I don't want to be the only one with AI...

Where do we find the X-Rated comics that aren't safe for work. Seriously, I don't think any Dino Comics would count, at least where I work people don't come up and read what clip art dinosaurs might be saying on someone else's computer. In closing, please implement this so I can find the naughty X-Rated comics.

Dinosaur Comics aren't X-rated?

Utahraptor finds clothes to be "constricting". Dromi "comfortable with [her] sexual identity". Tiny Woman "shocked and appalled". T-Rex unavailable for comment.

(He was but none of the things he said could be broadcast on the news.)

T-Rex - OMG!

- Man, hug clothes!

If they are naked in a non-sexual context, then they can sneak by with an R rating!

PG-13, actually. Sexual nudity is allowed with an R rating, just not male genitalia in a sexual context, and not pubic hair [of either gender] in an explicit sexual context. So basically, asses and boobs are okay, and further nudity if it is not during the act of sex.

But we're talking about Dinosaur Comics. The characters are clearly positioned so that we should be able to see their genitals.

I know this talks about lizards but I fear that Googling "dinosaur genitalia" will not lead to much scholarly data.

some website wrote:

A male lizard's genitals are safely tucked up inside its body under the skin until the time comes to mate. Then it mounts the female from the rear, she curls her tail up over her back, and he causes his penis to go "inside-out," entering her from the rear. They can stay hung-up like that for hours, and they don't really like humans to stand there and watch. They don't scamper off, but they sure do scowl at you! Also a male lizard doesn't use his penis for urination, only for copulation. As far as I know -- and you can email me to correct me if I'm wrong! -- a lizard, male or female, doesn't urinate in the first place. Frogs do, but frogs are amphibian.

You win. But is it really winning when it comes at the price of making me sad?

do you hate peeing that much, cobalt?

Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 6:24 pm

If they don't pee, and they obviously don't sweat, because they are lizards, and they don't salivate--well, they can't salivate that much, what the heck do they do with the water? Do lizards drink water? Doesn't everything have to drink water? What?

They have to drink water, but they only have to drink water once. Obviously.
