So comics 475, 476, and 477 are all set in a bar, and the bartender says ...

(So a blonde, a brunette, a redhead, a rabbi, a priest, a minister, a Mexican, an American, a Canadian, a duck, an elephant, and a giraffe all walk into a bar, and the bartender says "What is this, some kind of joke?")

Is it me, or does this story suggest incestuous stuff? Because, if some girl is asked for sex by some random stranger, I doubt he would offer to buy her a cell phone, he would just offer her money... The fact that he offered to pay for the sex with gifts, rather than handing out cash suggest a previous relationship... what's more, if somebody finds the phone... wouldn't it be very dangerous for him, unless he could justify the gift somehow (as in, "gave this phone to this girl because she is my relative...").

Maybe that would be the case under normal circumstances, but this happened on a hippy commune and I imagine that would change a few things. Everyone probably knew each other on a first name basis, even if they weren't relatives.

More importantly, people living there would be isolated. Especially people who can't drive and get back to town on their own. I could almost understand if that girl were to specifically ask for a cell phone instead of money.

I interpreted it as a teenage girl getting a teenage boy to buy her a new phone in exchange for sex. "Girl does sexy things to get guy to buy her things" is an old trope (possibly the world's oldest?)
