Milkman

As a guy I'm very concerned about the size of my uterus. If it gets any bigger than 0, I would get very alarmed.

omg i didn't notice belgium's nips until now wow

@NationMice I didn't notice it until you pointed it out, now I can't unsee it.

@PaxRomana LMAO I didn't see it either.

If this is the most weird thing about Dutch traditions then I'm happy with it :-)

@minando yes, it is, definitely, no controversial traditions here! Especially not with Sinterklaas, nope, no siree, nothing to see here

@Nothing-above-Gronin Only because the story tends to stop halfway. People see a black guy in service to a white guy and think slavery, but the story as it goes back was that the zwarte piet figure was a child slave who was freed by Nicolaas, hence Saint Nicolaas being known as the 'friend of children.' Piet then became his knecht, which is an old Dutch term for assistant (which also means he was paid), and helped Saint Nicolaas spread joy to children.

@keroko Not to mention, IIRC, he wasn't born black, but instead his skin was stained black with coal dust.

@Vercalos That's another one, but that story actually surfaced later, and is ironically one of the more racist interpretations in origin. In 1947 an author suggested Zwarte Piet represented the devil, stained black by the soot of hell, who was chained by the Saint Nicolaas and forced to spread joy instead of misery for a brief time.

Isn't the salted licorice scary enough?

Gammel vane. Dengang "nesting comments", som det hedder på engelsk, blev introduceret valgte jeg at slå det fra fordi det forvirrede mig. Så for mig står kommentarer stadig som om funktionen slet ikke var der.

Derfor, med tanke på at det kan forvirre andre at jeg kommunikerer på den gammeldags måde, tagger jeg altid nummeret på den kommentar det er rettet mod, så folk ved hvad det angår.

@EricTheRedAndWhite Ah, hvad der vel bedst passer dig Havde bare set det ofte så var blevet nysgerrig.
Jeg fandt så først ud nu at man kan trykke nummeret for at se den originale besked

Meh. It tastes good; I eat all those things anyway; I'll take my chances.

Hey, it's Belgium. We don't get to see you very often. Last time we saw you were almost six years ago, where have you been man?

Also, where would one report stuff about the site? Because I noticed that the last four comics (including this one) have no character tags at all.

Muisjes are delicious and six-year-old me will never forgive my mom for not letting me just buy them outright because "You don't have a child, do you?".

@LightningNymph Damn that's just cruel I get that the a-baby-is-born-gender-reveal ones are mostly reserved for the purpose, but we also have general-purpose regular white ones I think? And even if we don't, the supermarkets won't care what we use them for so I think if you fancy then you should be able to have them.
I hope your mom has at least been nice to you in other ways?

Muisjes are chocolate

That was fast, now Belgium's already producing milk after just one bite.

@tofei
I hadn't noticed before now
Good spotting!

@tofei Honestly it is almost disturbingly fast...
