Anyone else think of L’eggs hosiery when reading that last panel? No? Yep, I’m too old *and* I watched too many commercials as a child … well, we knew this.
I had a collection of various colors of egg shells they came in, from my mom. She bought the hose, I kept the eggs because they made great storage containers for some of smaller toys.
I’m going to have to disagree with you there Chug. Yes, people dress to impress or to show off in some cases, and they may want people to notice but generally speaking they don’t want people to be rude about it.
When I was a teen (and still had a figure that could turn heads) I liked getting admiring glances but when a guy (or girl for that matter) was out and out rude about it, (reducing me to nothing BUT my figure) all that did was creep me out.
Just because someone likes to look good, doesn’t mean they should have to put up with people being less than polite about it. Self control is SELF control after all. If someone can’t exercise proper self control, maybe they shouldn’t be allowed out in public to begin with.
But this is just my two cents worth on that matter, you may want change.
Jay… I wish I had legs like that! No. I don’t really look like Tillie much at all.
Chug/Gramma Pash… As one who owns A singular skirt that goes down to my ankles, I am not sure that I would’ve worn such short apparel… but then again, I don’t have the legs for showing and my wardrobe is closer to that of Annie Hall. When standing up, I’m sure Tilda’s skirt looks rather nice and maybe appropriate for a job interview. It’s not something I would wear…
Pete… Yah… Still… Eyes up here.
Dada… it’s one of those office chairs that are adjustable, yah? She’s got really long legs.
Eprinc… I’m sure that the Lava Luna dining room will soon be packed. Happy Hour might just be a whole different crowd.
As a woman who has weaponized my cleavage, I’d like to point out that if you get offended for people noticing your looks I think your head is on sideways. Welcome to a world of feminism. Now welcome to a world where men have been backed into a corner to the point where the ones who are trying not to be offensive end up being stuttering idiots as a result. The basic rule is if you want to be treated like a lady, act and dress like one. You can’t dress provocatively and expect to get ignored and if you have a standout feature, you might as well realize it and take advantage of it. If you don’t want that kind of attention…… hey, you’re free to cover up.

Aas to “backed into a corner”, a few months ago a (female) clerk asked me to wait in the customer service area of a store. When one of the service staff asked me who had sent me there, I had no idea I’d way too carefully avoided looking at her name tag on her chest.
come on, ryan, be a professional!

Anatman…. He was certainly caught off guard.
Grey… Yes!!! My mom was a user of said L’eggs product… I had many silver eggs in my stash’
I’m of the school of thought that if you’re going to show something off, you don’t get to be offended when someone actually notices.
Is Tillie supposed to be you Brig. )

Good thing it’s her legs Ryan is fixed on. Something different and having worked at Molly’s Bread Basket would have made the comic PG. 😉
All I’m going to say is that Tillie must be sitting on the world’s tallest chair. It’s at Ryan’s waist-level!
Well she’s gonna help the tip pool!

Ryan was not being rude at all. He was being a heterosexual male with working vision. It was a slip of the tongue, not sexism.

@ Beetles Bane: Yep, heard similar stories way too many times! It’s getting kinda spooky, really.
