Here is a text transcription of the comic to make it more accessible for people using screen readers. Transcription by Morgan Kelly.

Erika introduces this comic by lounging in a large clam. She says, “Oh boy, Perverts, I’m so excited for today’s topic…” In a large decorative script, “How to Eat Pussy.”

A nude person jumps in and asks, “Ahk, Erika, must you be crass? Its proper name is cunnilingus!” Erika responds raising her hand for a high five, “Cunnilingus? More like FUNnilingus, amirite?” The person responds with their arms cross, “I’m not high fiving you for that.”

Erika continues, “I’m afraid we’ll have to keep this to a basic introduction. It’s such a vast topic and I’ve only got so much space! First of all, you should get to know what you’re about to bury your face in. My friends, meet…”

The nude person interrupts Erika, “That’s a mighty fine lookin’ vagina, alright!” Erika replies, “You must have X-ray vision because you can’t see the vagina from here! Everything you can see externally is called… The Vulva.” Erika and the nude person are standing with external and internal diagrams of the vulva. The diagrams indicate the following: Labia majora, labia minora, clitoral hood, glans clitoris, urethral opening, vaginal opening, corpus cavernosum, crus clitoris, and the bulb of vestibule.

Erika points toward another illustrated diagram as she says, “The vagina is a passage within the body leading to the cervix.” This diagram indicates the following: Vagina, labia majora, labia minora, urethra, glans clitoris, crus clitoris, public bone, bladder, cervix, anus, and rectum. Erika adds, “Also did you know penises aren’t the only things that get boners? The clitoris also becomes engorged with blood during arousal, getting an erection!”

The nude person now asks Erika, “Ok, so how do I start?” Erika replies, “The number one thing you need is good communication. Talk to you partner! Take directions! Ask them what they like! Ask them if they like what you’re doing! Listen to them!”

Two people are shown engaging in cunnilingus ask they ask, “May I lick your cunt? Yes! Do you like this? Oh yes! Flick your tongue there! Right there! DON’T STOP!” Erika explains, “You may be tempted to jump straight to the clit-” The two people both yell out, “YEEP!” Erika continues, “-but let me advise you to work up to that guy after you’ve spent some quality time warming up the rest of their cootch first.”

The first nude person whispers for Erika’s attention, “Psst, Erika! I… I don’t know what to do? With my mouth? And my tongue? Gimme some tips!” Erika explains, “Your cunt-pleasing arsenal includes your nose, lips, tongue, and fingers. Use them all as needed!”

A large decorative heading reads, “Take Your Tongue Cross Country.” Erika includes illustrations of vulva showing different types of motions. “Weave your tongue between all the folds. Quick, flicking licks. Suck, suck. Long lick and circle clit. Zig-zag. Suck and glide up, still sucking.”

Another large heading reads, “Pussy licking prompts.” Erika explains, “Warm them up with slow, broad licks, making your tongue as wide as possible. Then use the tip for precision stimulation. Lead with your nose, your tongue tracing just after it. Lick consistently in one direction for a while. Gently use your lips to tug on theirs. Interject with a new sensation. Without missing a beat, return to the rhythmic licking again. Circle or tap or lightly suck or give a tiny series of short lapping licks to their clit.”

Erika continues, “Slip a finger or two inside their vagina while you keep licking. Things to do with your fingers: ‘come hither’, ‘flutter two fingers’. Don’t be affair to move your head! If your neck is getting stiff, hold your tongue still and rock your entire face against their cootch.”

To conclude this comic, Erika is seated again in the large clam. Her hands are raised as she says, “You have SO MANY options! This is just the tip of the iceberg and FAR from a comprehensive guide. Take your time exploring, really admire their cootch… the way it looks, the way it tastes, how wet it gets… Just lap it all up. Which should be easy, since having your face buried in pussy is, by default, pure joy. With a little practice, you’ll be a regular cunning linguist!”
