As always, stay tuned here on [email protected] for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/[email protected] posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520
**Also, check out some Jucika fan art! https://piefed.social/c/eurographicnovels/p/2128207/the-best-of-jucika-fan-art-12-pieces-with-two-videos
Lazy smart. nice.
Almost. Note that it pulled out of the wall.
Ha! I totally missed that.
Hello? HELLO?!?
Getting a drunk call at 3:19 am from your homie be like:
I love the end of the plug detail, easy to miss.
Curious, though, that appears to be a 2 prong plug almost like a north American power outlet. Do/did some countries use that design for telephone cords? I’ve never actually considered that phone cords might be different in other countries, but it makes sense
Four prong square outlet for a time in US.
I found out about those as a kid when we moved into a house that had them still, and when I asked my mom she got a kick out of getting to teach me something. Haha. She’d had those as a kid. And then when I worked for the telephone company, I found out there are a surprising amount of older homes that never had them updated
But it just never occured to me there would be regional variation in phone jacks like there is with electrical plugs.
I did some googling, but I didn’t find much info other than everyone seemed to have different standards back then (this would’ve been the 1960s/1970s).
This seems to be the hungarian telephone plug standard

really strange looking connector to me
I think CB35 is a type of (pre-war) phone, the plug looks more like a two-prong version of one of the pre-rj ones: https://www.kupindo.com/Ostalo/38520427_TELEFONSKI-PRIKLJUCAK-ZA-KABAL
It was not long after this that the narrator started to think that
StanleyJucika wasn’t actually Jucika.The phone turned 90 degrees off from what I think it should be bothers me. It would be on the table facing away from the wall, normally, I would think.
The rest of the setup for the gag makes sense, but that detail serves no purpose in the gag.
Maybe there’s a desk just out of frame, and when she’s sitting at the desk, it’s facing her.
From a pure practicality-for-the-comic standpoint, having it oriented the way it does lets us clearly see the cord from the handset leading to the phone - not that that’s super important, but it maybe helps with clarity?
what i imagine, and isn’t shown in any of the panels, is that the little table with the phone on it is actually next to and ‘faces’ a comfy upholstered chair sitting in the corner of the bedroom.
The artist just had experience with drawing phones in this particular orientation :)
What do you mean by “the phone turned”?
