The following artists are banned from the community.
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, hereβs a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520
**Also, check out some Jucika fan art! https://piefed.social/c/eurographicnovels/p/2128207/the-best-of-jucika-fan-art-12-pieces-with-two-videos

I'll say one thing... These strips are not getting any less racy with time.
The funny thing is that I'm skipping a lot because otherwise by pure chance I'd be posting a dozen racy ones in a row. The artist clearly liked to do fan-service.
Being a sexual being is a revolutionary act.
Now those are some juicy ~~melons~~ ~~peaches~~ apricots!
I'm beginning to wonder if PΓ‘l Pusztai was... you know... okay.
I went to college with someone who would eat an orange in the shower every morning for the same reason
Shower oranges are the bomb, you can go completely ham on that thang without having to worry about the mess, it's great!
Don't knock it until you try it!
I've tried it. It's okay
Probably smelled pretty good too.
This is the one only fans I would pay for.
Somebody's a big fan of apricots!
Just thoroughly enjoy Jucika's peaches.
I dont get this one
I'm guessing she'd rather be naked to eat and just get messy from all the fruit juices without messing up her clothes?
If I were an apricot farmer, this would be my advertisement.
"So juicy, you'd want to bathe in it!"
Like me, Jucika is messy when it comes to eating ripe fruit. She requests a privacy screen from the waiter so that she can eat in the nude and not get her clothing dirty.
Oh lol i thought she was in the shower in the last one for some reason
I think those are very juicy apricots, so she's asking for screens, so she can... have an apricot shower in the middle of the restaurant?
Yeah, that one seems like a stretch.
I suppose it is slightly different: they are juicy indeed and she doesn't want to soil her clothes with sticky sugary juice.
And also eating ripe peaches is extremely erotic.
Lets not do Jucika a disservice and inject the modern, much more regressive and repressive sexual identities that seems to have cropped up, especially among the nominal left. Jucika was explicitly a sex positivist and the eroticism is the message as much as it is about not getting your clothes messy.
It would be a huge disservice to Jucika to inject the wack-a-doodle anti-sexualism some of those on the nominal left have adopted into their politics. Its certainly not a politics I subscribe to: I'm with Jucika; when eating a peach its important to both do it in an incredibly erotic way, and to not get our clothes messy.
Jucika's best read as entries of a large and comprehensive encyclopedia of paraphilias.
It's poor man's kink discovery through the weekly magazine
Humiliation seems a popular one.
Are you in northern or western Europe? As I discovered when I moved to the UK, it's virtually impossible to get stone fruit that doesn't require a hammer and chisel, and are crunchy like apples. π¬
Elsewhere in the world, they're juicy, soft and prone to spraying everywhere. Which I think is the intended audience of this strip.
Thirst. Juicy titties.
Millions of peaches. Peaches for me.
Aren't those more likely to be peaches? Where I am, apricots are just larger than a golf ball.
Apricots versus peaches are a nominal distinction that doesn't exist in all cultures or languages.
Should be translated into English as peach, then.
Well no, not necessarily. Languages don't necessary map 1:1, and conceptions change over time. What one generation calls a peach, and what a previous generation calls a peach, they might differ.
Just like a peach, you may have to accept a little fuzz.
there is sufficient context for that kind of head gymnastics. By looking at the picture, we can clearly see it's peaches.
Less extreme in terms of shape but not taste, is the Spanish arΓ‘ndano, meaning blueberry OR cranberry.
It's OK because Spanish makes up for it by having European and American names for all varieties of critters.
Oh, interesting, I had no idea. They're so different. I used to have both a peach tree and an apricot tree - they don't even taste all that similar.
No the don't, but nectarines can also get lumped in there, and I think nectarines are better than either. The fruits all find their roots in China in prehistory, so depending on where when they made it to a region and the particulars of the linguistic groups of the time. Its like how limes and lemons weren't always distinguished in all cultures.
Por que no los Tres
"Apple" has dozens of varieties that don't taste all that similar either.
Yeah, like "Apples of earth" ("Pomme de Terre"). /s
Or road apples
I think nectarines are better than either.
I agree, and disagree. Nectarines are the best of the three to eat by hand. But peaches, an apricots are better cooked.
well, it exists in english
I looked up βJulika es az oszibarackβ. It means βJulika and the peach.β
What is that hat made of?!
Most likely straw, given the time the comic was drawn.
Not the crude straw hats you'd see on scarecrows mind you, but craftsman bleached straw finely cut and assembled.
As for the candle looking things - in the 50s to 70s in Hungary, fake candles with incandescent bulbs were very trending. My grandma had a crystal chandelier that had such sticks with special mini bulbs you could set to flicker like actual candles. That's why the hat isn't burning. An upscale restaurant in the 60s-70s would've likely had such a setup.
These were around into the 90s. Steak and Ale, man, those flickering bulbs with the incandescent screens. How they worked was kinda cool.
These still exist and they're everywhere. To the extent that in the US the smaller light bulb screw base is literally called the "candelabra" base. I have such a chandelier in my house right now (a very cheap one, probably from the 1980s) only minus the tacky flicker bulbs.
