Nice gag on the cover. Quite subtle for a comic cover.
Then again, he uses variations of the same idea on every cover!

The story starting on page 6 is about male behavior that is implied but not clearly stated. I've been reading material about male behavior recently, and I have also been present (earlier in life) when this behavior has occurred between groups of males. Never thought I would see it illustrated tho.
Haenigsen is not only an excellent draftsman, but an excellent observer of human behavior and foibles.
Just in the middle of reading a book on current sexual mores. It has made me aware that you couldn't publish this harmless comic in our now more puritanical times.
