Hovertext is obviously talking about buttsex. If the Capoodle is the vagina the Caboodle the the anal cavity.

Knock knock knocking on the back doo-ooor…
(Ooooo-oooohhh yeah yeah)
Knock knock knocking on the back door…
Wonder if Guns & roses ever thought that song would be used like this? Yeah, it’s pretty obvious, even to an alien like me…

Umm, that’s Deep Purple, and I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what Blackmore et al. had in mind. Check out the rest of the lyrics.

That’s nothing like the lyrics of Knocking At Your Back Door. It’s a clear parody of Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door. (Which was Bob Dylan, Screwball, GnR just covered it.)
Capoodle is more like just saying “Poo” which makes me think it’s more in the vein of “Backdoor” stuff. That’s why I think the hovertext has it backwards.
Also, calling it now, this comic will have the most refined and dignified comments of all DoA strips, with no silly words AT ALL.
Swissaboo
Becky straight up says that the vagina is the capoodle. Ergo: Noodling capoodles: hanky panky. Noodling caboodles: butt stuff.
Trolldrool
Or, alternatively, Becky’s understanding of female anatomy is so sheltered that she thinks vagina is another word for anus.
Daisy
Alternatively Becky’s gay[guy]dar is better than she’ll ever know
Frogalog
Was it Becky who said that? The speech bubble seemed to be pointing at Walky. He’s still at the table!

And of Course, I re-read it and apparently missed the word “The” in the final panel.
Everyone ignore me, I am a Caboodle-head.

*Lies. This comments section will be given over entirely to the kitten caboodle, the noodle, the capoodle, and all the noodle doodlin’ euphemisms we can bring to muster.

Naw, it’s definitely the “poodle” part of the word you’re meant to focus on.
la6ue mous snow angel
Definitely either a copu-dle or a cup-poodle
Emily
Caboodle = caboose = butt
Blob Marley
Capoodle might be derived from “poon” or “pussy.” Personally, I’m way more comfortable just saying vagina, but some folk are weird or sheltered.

Caboodle=booty… Capoodle=pu**y… That is all…

I’m glad you made this comment – I was about to make it myself if I couldn’t find it.
When a system is involved, it’s the differences that distinguish things. We need to focus more on p and b, and less on poodles and boodles.
Man, I would not know what to do in Dorothy’s shoes. She’s sitting on a whole lot of information at this point, including Joyce’s sexual trauma, Ethan’s orientation, and Roz’s accusations, and while none of those seem like the kind of thing you can just blurt out (except maybe that last one), ignorance of them is not doing Becky any favors. Becky thinks she should feel guilty for getting rid of Ethan, when Becky would actually feel guilty for pushing Joyce toward sex if she knew the actual score. I hope Joyce and Becky can stay close– they’ve got the potential to be great for each other– but that’s not happening if Joyce keeps all her cards that close to her vest. And yet that has to be Joyce’s choice. And yet she’s sometimes REALLY bad at deciding what not to share. I’ll be interested to see how D handles it.
Everyone seems to be forgetting that Becky will most likely be going away sometime relatively soon (in strip time anyways). Joyce still hasn’t called her mom back from what I can tell, and that conversation is going to blow this whole thing up.

Becky’s not leaving. Everyone else is leaving. Becky is staying.
So last strip will be Becky saying goodbye to the departing graduates? That could be a good and hopeful thing.
das-g
Or it will be Becky slaying spiders with a katana.

Willis has said that we will probably never even see the spring semester.
Which is too bad; I would be looking forward to at least one strip making mention of the Little 500.

The “anal cavity” is known as the rectum!

The caboodle’s the caboose!

Aren’t you paying attention? Noodlin CAPOODLES is the new hanky panky

Nah, they say Caboodles the first three times.

Pre-marital hanky panky!
Smiling Cat
I have it on good authority that the caboodle doesn’t count as long as you stay away from the capoodle and the, umm… clididdle?
And also as long as you’re straight. There’s a song that explains the whole thing.
Dr. T
Would you be talking about the one by Garfunkel and Oates?

You realize comments like these look silly in the archives, when everyone’s gravatars have changed? Jus sayin.

Well the people reading comments in the archives will just have to deal with feeling left out, then!

…so Becky wants Ethan to do Joyce in the ass? Wouldn’t have guessed that was what she was into but color me educated.

Well, at least bite her there, apparently. Ahh, the joys of living vicariously through others.

Butt stuff keeps you pure for marriage, dontcha know?
