there is no implication. this is a parody of another comic strip.
It is all about what the cartoon implies, not what is exactly shown. Obviously there is no detail here (as is the case in Love Is) but the implication is that 2 teenagers have just slept togetheer and woken up to eat french toast in the nude. This is especially the implicaton if you have not followed the Love Is strips. This just is not appropriate for a daily newspaper which children read. How does a parent explain this to a little kid. My teenager also would not get the Love Is reference and so I guess I have to make sure I read the strip every day to explain the jokes to him?
Nudity was shown in Love Is, but the reason why they got away with it is because it wasn't detailed nudity. No genitalia or other body parts were displayed.
It's a parody of the "Love Is..." comic strip that first appeared back in the 1970s, featuring an oft-nude boy and girl flirting with each other, and the cartoon's title shown at the top, and the rest shown at the bottom, with phrases like "Love Is...being able to say you're sorry." or "Love Is...turning his head." The comic is still published today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Is... http://www.gocomics.com/loveis/2009/11/05/
If Love Is got away with it for all these decades, what's the problem with this, except that nobody here seems to be familiar with Love Is?
