edit - some people have pointed out that it probably means peach, not apricot.
As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world 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/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520
**Also, check out some Jucika fan art! https://piefed.social/...

Probably smelled pretty good too.
Don't knock it until you try it!
I'll say one thing... These strips are not getting any less racy with time.
Being a sexual being is a revolutionary act.
The funny thing is that I'm skipping a lot because otherwise by pure chance I'd be posting a dozen racy ones in a row. The artist clearly liked to do fan-service.
I dont get this one
I'm guessing she'd rather be naked to eat and just get messy from all the fruit juices without messing up her clothes?
Oh lol i thought she was in the shower in the last one for some reason
I suppose it is slightly different: they are juicy indeed and she doesn't want to soil her clothes with sticky sugary juice.
And also eating ripe peaches is extremely erotic.
Lets not do Jucika a disservice and inject the modern, much more regressive and repressive sexual identities that seems to have cropped up, especially among the nominal left. Jucika was explicitly a sex positivist and the eroticism is the message as much as it is about not getting your clothes messy.
It would be a huge disservice to Jucika to inject the wack-a-doodle anti-sexualism some of those on the nominal left have adopted into their politics. Its certainly not a politics I subscribe to: I'm with Jucika; when eating a peach its important to both do it in an incredibly erotic way, and to not get our clothes messy.
And then ... she'll put her clothes back on to her sticky, sugary body?
It was really just an excuse for her to get naked, both in-universe and out.
Cleaning sticky, sugary body with napkins is easier than deal with cloth.
Jucika's best read as entries of a large and comprehensive encyclopedia of paraphilias.
Humiliation seems a popular one.
Are you in northern or western Europe? As I discovered when I moved to the UK, it's virtually impossible to get stone fruit that doesn't require a hammer and chisel, and are crunchy like apples. 😬
Elsewhere in the world, they're juicy, soft and prone to spraying everywhere. Which I think is the intended audience of this strip.
A good peach is an orgiastic eating experience.
Millions of peaches. Peaches for me.
This is the one only fans I would pay for.
Somebody's a big fan of apricots!
Just thoroughly enjoy Jucika's peaches.
Aren't those more likely to be peaches? Where I am, apricots are just larger than a golf ball.
Apricots versus peaches are a nominal distinction that doesn't exist in all cultures or languages.
Oh, interesting, I had no idea. They're so different. I used to have both a peach tree and an apricot tree - they don't even taste all that similar.
No the don't, but nectarines can also get lumped in there, and I think nectarines are better than either. The fruits all find their roots in China in prehistory, so depending on where when they made it to a region and the particulars of the linguistic groups of the time. Its like how limes and lemons weren't always distinguished in all cultures.
Por que no los Tres
Should be translated into English as peach, then.
Well no, not necessarily. Languages don't necessary map 1:1, and conceptions change over time. What one generation calls a peach, and what a previous generation calls a peach, they might differ.
Just like a peach, you may have to accept a little fuzz.
Less extreme in terms of shape but not taste, is the Spanish arándano, meaning blueberry OR cranberry.
It's OK because Spanish makes up for it by having European and American names for all variety of critter.
I looked up “Julika es az oszibarack”. It means “Julika and the peach.”
I'm beginning to wonder if Pál Pusztai was... you know... okay.
Most likely straw, given the time the comic was drawn.
Not the crude straw hats you'd see on scarecrows mind you, but craftsman bleached straw finely cut and assembled.
As for the candle looking things - in the 50s to 70s in Hungary, fake candles with incandescent bulbs were very trending. My grandma had a crystal chandelier that had such sticks with special mini bulbs you could set to flicker like actual candles. That's why the hat isn't burning. An upscale restaurant in the 60s-70s would've likely had such a setup.
These still exist and they're everywhere. To the extent that in the US the smaller light bulb screw base is literally called the "candelabra" base. I have such a chandelier in my house right now (a very cheap one, probably from the 1980s) only minus the tacky flicker bulbs.
My grandma also had one of those tacky lamps.
Ummm... Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK őszibarack is peach. Sárgabarack is apricot.
Proof: you don't need a shower cabin for apricots, however, peaches are in the same category with (tejfölös) lángos. That's why it's a typical food on the beach/lakeside. You're almost naked already, damage minimised.
Apricots also usually don't leak much juice
Some other people mentioned that as well. I'll change it!

I went to college with someone who would eat an orange in the shower every morning for the same reason
