Can anyone help me identify these ESL comics? I'm trying to find out what books they came from. The main characters are Sox (a dog) and Pye (a bird).

Oh my god...

The first panel on the first comic is freaking hilarious. That must have been intentional.

The animation looks similar to English Discovery. A mutant cross breed of Side by Side and Interchange.

The banana, with its suggestive placement, is obvious but the third panel, with the guy's finger on the little girl's nipple, asking if it's a strawberry, is that on purpose, too?

It's quite obvious that there is a strong sexual underpainting here... as mentioned, "banana" and "strawberry" and I would also add the "lemon" (what we used to call the smaller chested women in SE Asia, the more fortunate ones were "watermelons"). I'm not getting the dog reference yet but it would durprise me if there were not yet another deeper and hidden meaning. Can that all be coincidence? Honi soit qui mal y pense, but I would feel uncomfortable using this material.

The graphics look a bit old. Maybe something from the late 80s or early 90s.

It looks terrible, but I'd like to check it out anyway to see if there are any other "coincidences" in the artwork.

Well Sox looks a bit like Sex and it isn't the typical spelling...
