Diaper Genie caused a bit of an argument with one of my friends, who found this comic to be bizarre and unintelligible. He’d never heard of such a thing, which is actually a very popular product for those who have babies. The only reason I was so familiar, even though I have no children, is because I used to stock for Toys R Us and Babies R Us, and these things flew off the shelves.

I always imagine a legitimate Diaper Genie made of poo smoke to emanate from the trash can and whisk away the diapers.

If you don’t know what the thing is, it’s described on its official website as:

Keep your baby’s nursery smelling fresh with the Playtex Diaper Genie Complete Diaper Pail. A built-in carbon filter helps absorb and lock in diaper odors.

Here is our Archive of all published Mousebear Comics. Marvel at how terrible the quality used to be (or still is). These are merely cynical musings of two cautiously handsome Schadenfreudes. That’s right, we are increasingly bitterly or sneeringly distrustful, contemptuous, or pessimistic. We welcome you to our accumulation of visual historical records organized over the lifetime of Mousebear Comedy. These comics have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring personal value.
