Description
Guys (and I am talking to just the men at the moment, but women are free to listen in): Are you the sort of man who talks to your neighbors in the urinals beside you? I don’t have conversations in public restrooms unless I’m really good friends with the person. I hate it when complete strangers start talking to me while I’m trying to pee.
This scenario is one that fills me with dread. What if a guy sidles up to the urinal beside you and started narrating the entire process from start to finish? I mean, once you’re peeing, you’re peeing. It’s not always easy to turn off the tap, so to speak. So you’d be stuck there. Listening. To everything.

Obviously one of those guys who likes to narrate every aspect of their daily life...strange.

Urinal convos with strangers are a no go.
I'm curious, did you get the idea to put your signature randomly within the panels instead of at the end of the comic from Bill Waterson?
I don't know if that's something lots of cartoonists do, I only remembering noticing that in Calvin and Hobbes.

I just put my signature wherever it fits. Since I don't typically use panels it's easier this way.

Oh, ever had one of those guys who makes tons of noise when peeing? Grunting and sighing and almost moaning? They're usually old. I hate loud urinating.

I hate those guys! Also the guys that stand two feet from the urinal to pee!

Never encountered those. But it sounds disturbing.

I've got a situation that's about the same quality of awkward, go into the women's bathroom and sit in the stall, someone else comes in and promptly starts having a conversation with you about either the weather, a cough, your shoes, underwear etc... Walmart is a weird place.

Some people can't pee without talking, apparently. Good to hear it crosses gender lines.

Impromptu bathroom tutorials are even better!

It's kind of weird to have Winslow be the straight man here, as well as, dare I say it, the voice of reason.
I have to agree with your points on talking at the urinal. I don't like trying to hold a conversation with my genitals in my hands and exposed to the air.

I'm the type who can't/doesn't use urinals because they make me uncomfortable. Not socially, mind you; physically...Because, I don't like the feeling of my penis "resting" in that zipper hole in my pants.

It's a trap!

LOL I remember seeing this one on FB
Any stranger speaking to another stranger is just WEIRD in public bathrooms.

It is. And yet this stuff HAPPENS!

Such a situation would piss me off.
I do not want to shake hands with anyone at the urinals.
I so hope nobody does a selfie at the urinal, that would be sick.
Its going to happen. I would almost bet money on it.
This bathroom not the best

Nah! And I never had some stranger talk to me in places like this. But I don't really care...unless I'm in a hurry and/or got stage fright...

Those bluetooth conversations are getting too personal, aren't they?

Why do so many of your comics are related to urine or feces? Not that there's anything wrong with that (until it's fetishized...) it's just kind of gotten a little repetitive.

I have a juvenile sense of humor, and urine and feces will never stop being funny.
