The Clit, my homies! It’s super effective!

I felt I needed to make this because in Chester I’ve got some male characters that,for Victorian men, pay an uncanny amount of attention to the clit. I am going to cut George and Robert some slack though cuz they are sort of geniuses?

Some addendums to this comic:

-The vibrator didn’t COMPLETELY go off the market in 1930, it just became a lot harder to obtain them since they were deemed profane.
-I don’t mean to imply that men were the cause of all women’s woes, just a severe lack of sexual education in both sexes.
