# Help me B3tans!
I'm having one of those dispiriting moments where i've drawn something, but nobody gets what's going on. Anybody here figure it out, or is my brain an indecipherable mess?

Title is: 'When brushing alone is not enough'

# yes, it's that scene from Marathon man
in all seriousness, a) it's wonderfully illustrative but b) it is a little confusing.
I don't get why the tooth is chained up
or why the brush and paste are the way they are.

If it was me, I'd do away with the prison setting and have the brush and paste looking more heartbroken, like the tooth is being unfaithful. At the moment they look like the tooth is going to be executed.

# don't just take my worthless opinion fella
what's the reasoning for the chains and that?

# Have my worthless opinion too
I think it would work better if the tooth was in a bed, then the mouthwash pissing on him and the whip-like floss would make more sense. Perhaps have fishnets on the floss?

# i dunno
i instantly thought that the tooth was paying for kinky non-brushing action with floss and mouth wash.

but then i'm not sure what that says about me, perhaps i should go into politics.

# ahhhh, yes, S&M was further down my brain's immediate assumption list
so the mouthwash IS actually pissing on him :D

in which case I'd put bondage masks on the floss and mouthwash or maybe add some nipple clamps and studs and stuff.

# Bingo!
Yeah, general idea was the tooth was unsatisfied with his brushy wife, and has sought other methods to, err... satisfy him. I love the idea of adding dominatrix-y S&M stuff to it, so think i'll work that into it.

Thanks folks! Feel a bit better now...

He should wipe that up before it dries to his leg hairs. Let him try to get it off THEN.

# It's a metaphor innit
The tooth is Jummy Saville
The bottle is the BBC
The fag packet is the Press
The brush the British Public

and I don't know what the paint tube stands for...

# Poignantly portraying the angst of the toothbrosh at being unable to adequately service its tooth...
The poor tooth, now shackled to an endless cycle of flossing and mouthwash, looks on, its pulpy heart wracked with emotion at seeing the plight of the brush who, its raison d'etre called into question by an over-zealous hygienist, grapples with an existential crisis of Faustian proportions.

...or summat.

Yeah - a bedroom motif would be more obvious than the S&M dungeon for the cuckolded dental hygiene implements.

AWESOME illustration though!

# If only
Mrs. Brush had have given Mr. Tooth oral-b more often, he may have been satisfied.

Seriously though I think it's great. It's just a wee bit too cryptic and needs some, but not too many of the previously suggested clues adding to it.

Aww, poor Toothbrush feels left out, because Mindy Molar is being held prisoner by Floss and Fluid, who have initiated an evil plan to replace traditional brushing with poncey faffing around using high-margin products with too much packaging.

Why, even now, in another part of their lair, the Supersonic Robot Brush is waiting to be unleashed... once it's finished charging.

# very good indeed!
agreed with the other suggestions up here:

- tart up the S&M gimps.
- put the tooth on a big fluffy bed
- more red and pink, more light, more obvious associations with sex
- fishnet stockings on the tooth roots?
- maybe make the floss into a cat-o-nine-tails, tie a knot in the end and make it more obviously whip-like
- the box of floss could be sweating more through exertion
- obvious whip marks on the tooth?

I could go on...

And change the title, perhaps, to When Brushing Just Isn't Enough. The word 'alone' is slightly ambiguous, and has associations with (e.g.) showering alone, being alone etc...
