Ice

by Jeff

Image text: On the plus side, she wrote 'Welcome to the AAA Club!' in lipstick on the bathroom mirror, and left me a membership/roadside assistance card on the counter.

This comic is a take on the typical (is it typical?) organ harvesting story.  However, in this case, instead of being seduced, drugged and then waking up in a bathtub full of ice with his kidney gone, Beret wakes up in a bathtub full of kidneys with his ice gone.

The image text is a reference to this urban legend of AIDS Mary in which a prostitute leaves a guy in the middle of the night and writes "Welcome to the AIDS Club" or "Welcome to the World of AIDS" in lipstick on the mirror. (Snopes link)

In America, AAA stands for the American Automobile Association, which offers car insurance and roadside assistance and other assistance for motorists.  So, instead of being AIDS, the mystery woman buys Beret a nominally valuable membership to AAA.
