#392 Morimoto Calibration Device

I'm going to skip making that page with trite jokes about the
differences between Japanese and American toilets. The honest truth is
that 90% of Japanese toilets are just like American ones. In very fancy
places, you'll sometimes see the Japanese toilets with buttons. And in
really old places you'll find what we call “squatters”, named so
because they're basically a trough in the ground with no seat, and using
them requires taking off your pants halfway. But a person could easily
visit Japan and never see anything besides regular toilets. It
certainly doesn't warrant a page where one of our characters presses the
wrong button and has some “hilarious” consequences… especially when
some of our characters thought the toilet was a washbasin earlier in the
comic.

So
if you absolutely wanted to see cliched foreign toilet mishaps, you'll
need to watch Cars 2. This page is better spent telling you why they're
in Japan in the first place.
