If you’re referring to an amount of rain or a rate of rain, it’s less. If you’re talking number of droplet, it’s fewer. Either way, when I read this comic, I was like, “Oh, snap. Walky gonna get him some lovin’…and Dorothy, you grab some of that caramel man action, but if you break his dorky heart. Well girl, then we got problems. On the real.”
Alternately: Same reason shit like BOTTLED WATER has an expiration date, to make you throw it out and buy more [though, some things don’t go “bad” so much as lose potency]

How the bloody fuck does WATER expire?
Pocketdoom
Mostly the plastic leaches into the water so the water develops plastic toxicity.

Huh, my understanding was that it had more to do with no longer being able to guarantee the integrity of the bottle/sterility of the contents. That said, I can’t even remember where I read/heard this!
Pretty much everything has an expiration date. An expired condom might not be as effective because the material is old, it could dry up, lose elasticity, rip, etc.

Speaking of which, I recently had 10-year old pasta! It actually wasn’t that bad.
In this case, it shouldn’t be a problem. The expiration date on (quality) condoms is quite a long time, which I know because of a weird story involving some friends. At a summer get-together in 2009, one friend jokingly gave my friend Liz a few condoms. Liz saw the expiration dates and said that “now she had a deadline” to get laid. This past summer, we were recalling the story and–though the deadline had not yet passed–she had succeeded.
So yeah, condoms last at least 5-ish years. Any Amazi-Girl has acquired since the hold-up should easily still be good.
The latex in condoms will eventually degrade. We kept a bunch of condoms past their expiration date in a display and when we opened them to see what happened they stuck to themselves and tore.

…which is exactly how the baby in Howard Cruse’s comic “Stuck Rubber Baby” got conceived
Condoms typically expire about 5 years from manufacture. The latex breaks down and they become more likely to break…
Good practice is to always check the wrapper before opening, even if you know when you bought them and have already checked their box-mates a million times, just to get into the habit.
Keep them in a cool, dry place etc, etc… use lube on the inside and out to decrease likelihood of breakage, never use spermicides, etc, etc, etc, etc

Whose tool was so long that it bent.
To save himself trouble, he put it in double
And instead of coming he went.

And as soon as they say the rain’s not letting up, less drops start coming down
David Willis
The “camera” is closer, so you’re looking through less rain.
also you mean “fewer,” not “less”
Eromer
Oh no he Di’int. 😉

That’s just because they’re under a roof. It was the same in the last strip.

I tried putting the full amount of rain on them in every panel, but during closeups it looks like they’re not sheltered from it under the overhang.
Geminia999
I guess the over hang just didn’t look like it came out far enough for the effect I guess.
Also, have you considered redrawing your avi? It looks a bit outdated compared to your current style somewhat.

Latex loses its plasticity and becomes more likely to wear, crack, and fall apart.
I don't know what to put here.
The condoms do, indeed, have an expire.

Just Cheeto Dust
…double up?
Kennerly
Double bagging just makes them more likely to break.
Just Cheeto Dust
Yeah, I was being facetious.
Mr. Random
Never do that. It actually increases friction on both, meaning they’re more likely to rip, than if you had only used one.
Cybercat
Never double up, that actually makes them less reliable. They damage quicker due to friction between the two.
Led
Hah, reminded me of that Scrubs scene with Elliot and Keith… “That’s it, I’m putting on a third condom.”

I’m guessing that unless she saved those from Prom night, Amber got ’em the day after Amazi-Girl and Danny visited third base.
