You’re supposed to read into that that they will happily sell her an “interesting” magazine catering to her own tastes, if that’s what she wants.
Equality now!
I think she thinks that the magazines were brought by and left behind by the same apparently porno-loving fisherfolk who left the worms. He seems to be suggesting instead that these “interesting” magazines were in fact supplied by the management and the fishers really did only go there for the fishing.
Her runs a full service camp for undemanding people (fishermen & hunters). He is willing to provide the same level of service to anyone, however. The exact same level of service.
Judging by the background (sign selling worms for $1, jar of pickled eggs and what looks like store shelving), I would say she is in the camp store. The store stocks all kinds of adult reading material including playgirl.
The rental-cabin office is also a store.
Yes, most of their clientele is male. But they’re not (suggests the clerk) sexist, excluding gyno-Americans, but ready to serve them, when (if) they show up.
cabins have no internet service?
“cabins have no internet service?”
Cabins tend to have no electricity, so… yeah. (YMMV, obvs.)
Well, if there was a section reserved for “glamping” there would be internet service there.
The shopkeeper is an egalitarian: he stocks magazines for men who like to look at pictures of naked women, AND magazines for (supposedly) women who like to look at pictures of naked men. But I presume he doesn’t offer magazines on for people, fisherfolk or otherwise, who might prefer to read about art, music, philosophy, political theory, literary history, etc. — you have to draw the line somewhere before you get into supplying that “kinky” stuff.
I don’t think I’ve ever been in a cabin that didn’t, at the very least, have a genny to run lights and maybe a TV. But, yes, internet is (usually) out.
These days some people expect an Internet connection in all sorts of out-of-the-way places, but this strip was published 20 years ago, just before Wi-Fi was announced, and a long time before it was generally available.
Does “Playgirl” still exist?
Ignatz, PlayBOY barely exists.
Ignatz, according to Wikipedia, Playgirl’s last issue was two years ago, which is after this strip was published.
I was surprised to see that it lasted that long.
“Does ‘Playgirl’ still exist?”
“PlayBOY barely exists.”
The guy says he has some. He didn’t say they was current/recent.
Probably just as old as the worms, and about as appetizing.
“It’s da second week of Deer Camp, and all de guys are here
We drink, play cards, and shoot da bull but never shoot no deer
The only time we leave da camp is when we go fer beer
The second week of Deer Camp is da greatest time of year.”
“Second Week of Deer Camp” by Da Yoopers
I had a friend who claimed he went deer hunting with a group of guys. They spent the time in a cabin drinking beer and playing cards. They had a rifle in the corner in case a deer poked its head in through the window.
