That’s a (towel) wrap on
SHAMPOO WEEK
2025.
Thanks to my guest cartoonists, who both knocked it out of the park! I hope you all feel inspired to continue acknowledging shampoo as a thing you can rub around on your heads. After all, when you look past all the commercial hype for toys, jewelry, and Lexuses, that’s what Shampoo Week is all about.
We laughed, we cried (because we’re all aged out of the No More Tears shampoo market), and alas, we all have to go back to our normal lives on Monday—but just a little richer on the inside (and the scalp) than before.
P.S. Go read The Best Gamepiece Photocomic!
I have seriously been thinking way more about shampoo than usual. Misshon Comprete!
I love that the most perfect name for an inn is also innexplicably a massive apartment complex. Do suchtype hotels ever CALL themselves inns? They should. For pun value.
I think this is just the ‘pro’ donkey, and the ‘anti’ donkey is in the kitchen. Whichever room you spend more time in decides your alignment toward shampoo.
We only know for sure that that this hotel is six stories high. Could be more, but not necessarily. And I feel like there are some Holiday Inns that might be six floors high.
I can’t attest to Holiday Inn here, but I did just stay in a Hilton (I think) that was laid out almost exactly like this. The windows probably looked different, and if the window gods want to throw lightning bolts at me about it, they’re definitely taking their time.
For the love of all that is, don’t let the anti-donkey come in contact with the pro-donkey.
Colliding anti-donkeys with pro-donkeys is how you get burrito particles.
I desperately want to see the Large Donkey Collider.
Oh I love when it gets weird like this. Is she calling herself, is the woman in panel 6 a different instance of this woman than the one in the previous and next panels, or are there an infinite chain of instances of this woman all trying and failing to deliver shampoo to each other (insert Hilbert’s Hotel joke here)?
Also thanks for the ego boost of my comic apparently being good enough to warrant an unprompted second shoutout. (If you, too, want to boost my ego, the best way to do that is to join the comic’s Discord server, although you should probably catch up on the archive first.)
Well now I can’t say what I intended, because that would ruin the mystery (that I didn’t think existed in the first place, but it’s fun to know it’s there). But your comic is good, your humor is good, and the second shout-out is payment for helping me with Shampoo Week. Thanks!
Gotta admit I’m pretty hooked. It’s just excellently written dialogue.
