Comic strip for January 12 2024.
PANEL ONE: Erlak and Nizini are still sitting on the bench. ERLAK: Hey, Zeen, you're a woman... maybe you can find out from Conniff what she likes. NIZINI: Huh? What? PANEL TWO: Angle on Erlak, with Nizini in the foreground. ERLAK: You know... by... uh... doing that thing that women do. PANEL THREE: Close on Nizini, looking quizzical. PANEL FOUR: Back to view of both from the front. NIZINI: You mean, TALK? ERLAK: Yeah, that's the one.

Eh... I don't know about the punchline to this one. It's like one of those generic "men and women are so different, right?" "jokes" that might appear in a sixty-year-old newspaper comic now drawn by the late original creator's son who has no passion for the comic but is only doing it because it's expected he'll carry on his father's legacy; in fact, nobody has any passion for the comic; nobody actually looks forward to reading it; it has no reason to still be in the papers except that it has been in the papers longer than almost anyone now living remembers so everyone expects that it will always be in the papers. Sorry; that simile kind of got out of hand.
