Absolute gentleman.
Man people can only wish they had a nurse like Jucika
To keep it real for a moment, Jucika should be fired immediately for this. I’ve seen or had to deal with traumatic head injury patients getting cords wrapped around them, falling out of bed, wandering off, etc because of people like her in this comic. It is unacceptable. You take a 12 or 14 hour shift to watch a patient: you STAY AWAKE and WATCH THE PATIENT.
similarly, if you ride shotgun with a driver who has to stay awake, then YOU STAY AWAKE WITH THEM AND TALK TO THEM
Why does she stay in his room? Was she waiting for him to die or something?
I heard there was a time where nurses and people in the medical field where not overworked and under constant time and financial pressure. Might be a legend though.
These comics were drawn (or at least look like they were drawn) around the 60’s, maybe the 70’s. Hungarian medical care has never been to Western standards, and I cannot say it has had a steady improvement since. I cannot speak for the seventies since I wasn’t even alive back then, but based on what I read about it, shortages and long shifts have been a thing back then, as well.
It still exists but it’s rarely a nurse, these days. Usually gets contracted out to businesses that help at home or in hospital stays in case of head injury, loss of mobility, trouble using facilities such as the kitchen or the bathroom alone, etc.
Example businesses:
Home Helpers (CO)
Home Helpers (MI)
Home Helpers (OK)
Home Helpers (ND)
Home Care Assistance of AlbuquerqueFor some unknown reason all of these unaffiliated businesses all use the same name except for one. /joke
If you have the money, you can hire a private nurse to attend to you even in the hospital.
Ah, yes, the classic this guy really wants to fuck Jucika because she’s really hot.
I think this is a very superficial and puritanical reading of the comic series
It’s not the entire series, but it is certainly part of it.
While the clear joke in a lot of Jucika comics is men doing irrational or silly things because Jucika’s attractive, describing it the way you do does it a disservice. It’s supposed to be playful, not puerile. That doesn’t mean you have to like it, but personally I find it silly and kind of annoying when people mischaracterise stuff they dislike - either their dislike is causing them to describe it badly, or their misunderstanding of it is causing them to dislike it, and neither is good :(
Sublimated horniness is still horniness.
The real questions is why she stealing the bed of someone old?
Really hot but also quite nice usually.
… He’s letting her sleep and sacrificing his comfort. People can have empathy you know.
A possible interpretation if this is the only Jucika comic you’ve read.
The pattern is: First frame: Man sees Jucika. Last frame: Man does incredibly generous thing for Jucika. And it’s always a man and it always happens almost instantly.
Many that ive seen actually involve men annoying her or her somehow being inconvenienced by men. Ive seen a bunch that are about her interacting with other women, often involving men who are being annoying or creepy. The kind of interaction shown in this strip seems to be kind of rare by comparison.
I also fail to see your outrage over it. Who says he did it because he thinks shes hot? He just seemed to feel badly for her cause she was tired at work and wanted to let her rest. Any inference over his intentions is just that, your own inference.
Pretty privilege undoubtedly exists, and it’s often invisible to the pereson who is providing it, though it is painfully obvious to anyone who has lived in states of being pretty and not pretty at varying times of their lives. Jucika fans seem to be particularly blind to it and that’s really what my outrage is about.
We respect the elegance Jucika and do anything to please her every whim and comfort without expecting a goddang thing in return
I’m not at all surprised at the level of disconnect there is among Jucika fans. I should probably stop reading and commenting on these like everyone else with a lick of human understanding would.
I’m reminding of a comment on a video of Anne Margaret’s Bye Bye Birdie. Something along the lines of, “This is when woman had class and didn’t whore themselves out,” weirdly unaware that his own childhood lust for Anne Margaret was likely triggered by her shaking her large boobs inside her sweater.
Edit: Here she is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsQabalLI0w It’s hella fun to watch and she’s a great performer, but obviously she is selling some sexuality.
Wtf are you talking about? She shook her (perfectly average-sized) boobs for like a split second, once, toward the end of that video.
I get that people were more prudish in those days, but characterizing that video as a woman “shaking her large boobs inside her sweater” sounds like the talk of someone who thinks literally everything a woman does is sexual. We can’t even shimmy once in a 3-minute performance without someone thinking we’re “whoring ourselves.”
I’m not saying Ann Margaret is whoring herself out any more or less than anyone else, just that sexuality is often part of performance, and those standards change over time. What I object is to people pretending like sexuality isn’t a factor in appeal, especially when these boomers are disparaging younger performers.
You just seem like a joyless husk.
I literally just linked an Ann Margaret video because it is quite lovely and joyful; it is also, however, very sexy.
yeah do that
Yeah, I usually enjoy Jucika but there’s no denying that the majority of strips are essentially “Pussy Pass: The Comic”.
I’m not gonna gaslight you and say that isn’t a lot of the Jucika comics. I am gonna say that’s not all of them. A few of them are witty or wholesome.
I agree, it’s not all of them … but it certainly is a common theme.
Except in this case.
