It's Paranormal Physiology actually; we don't really know what that type of being would do under the circumstances or even that (or what) they defecate...

well actually its 'not RL' anthropology!!! no cartoon character is ever seen 'going to the toilet'... it is a log, hard slog just to make them, that's the main reason!!!

Not quite true (but pretty close).

A web search on "cartoon character bathroom" suggests otherwise

Eager Young Space Cadet: (gasping and gagging) What does he do in that bathroom?!?!

I did not say 'bathroom'

I said 'toilet'


US vs Uk is crazy...

I happen to know from training that people who are going to kill themselves often obsess about how they will be found. One of the warning signs is someone spending an inordinate amount of time and money grooming themselves, getting their hair and nails done when they've never done that before. Maybe mentioning about an important "appointment" while refusing to give details all the while remaining perfectly calm. I'm talking a creepy "hairs on the back of your neck standing up" level of calm, BTW. "Unnatural Serenity" is how my instructor phrased it.

So as much as you'd think, "Hey, she should be disgusting." Depending on how much time and planning she put into this, she may have decided that she didn't want to be found that way and either used the facilities right before, and/or perhaps she had not eaten anything in quite some time.

So no, the situation would not be "impossible".

That makes good sense.

People who are going into situations where they risk a violent accident (e.g. racecar drivers) are strongly advised to "hit the can" immedately before doing so. If you're in a wreck, you're much better off not having a full bladder or bowel bust open (and I've heard of wrecks where a burst bladder was the driver's worst injury... totally avoidable).

One who is contemplating suicide might well apply a similar philosophy, out of concern for how they would be found. Some people who contemplate/commit suicide seem to pay quite a bit of attention to "not being a bother" to the people who will find the body afterwards.

Those who die by sudden, involuntary hanging (e.g. lynching, or accidents) don't have this option.

TvTropes to the rescue. (Insert obligatory DANGER, TIME SINK warning)

The Whiteboard is one cited.

I would also suggest that a traditional Nature Pee qualifies.

So... these sorts of depictions of a catroon-strip character performing biological functions of a toilet (manufactured or impromptu) aren't very common, but they do exist... hence saying it never occurs is not strictly correct.

that tv tropes does not qualify, you cannot SEE the person doing it, unless you go VULGAR...

whiteboard yes, but 'nature pee' is not a official, and you could even be fined for fouling!!! :/

again, most of this is just wasting the artist's time, unless comedy demands it...

You know, we do have evidence that Monica sometimes goes to the bathroom...

well what we need is a picture, actually sitting on it!!!!

I vaguely remember dietzel , anyone know???

There was a puddle....

jwhouk wrote:There was a puddle....

yes, but it was maybe some talk about him using the 'sit down' one as in pic above... but then it maybe another comic dog, (family guy??) commenting about how strange humans are...

One time, when Darrin was watching him at the bar, Dietzel went into the men's bathroom... (implied that he was going to use it...)


(Too lazy to look for link... )

nope, this is what dogs think it is for!!!:D

I just noticed something, after going to update the Omnibus: The windows behind Mr. Meadows and the dead girl are where we saw Atsali looking out the windows when she was back at the orphanage.

Same side of the building, anyway.

It's probably a dorm room.
