      I believe it is the lying that little dude is concerned about…

      Case in point: she might also be lying about those STDs that she “totally” checked for (like AIDS) and “definitely” does not have, wink.:-P

        Yeah, but why did she feel like she can’t tell him the true number?

          As someone else said, the real answer is that this is a comic.

          We don’t really know from the OP whether they have been together for an hour, day, week, month, or even year (and he just never found the hoodies box yet?). Irl women are stigmatized with “slut shaming” for having multiple partners, and while men get stigmatized too this is not one of those ways. So irl she might have kept it from him until she was sure that he was mature enough to handle the truth. Although she could have also used it as a test - if he were a toxic masculinity believer, better for her to know the truth right away and get far away from him?

          So there’s deep stuff contextually related to this… but this is a newspaper comic community, so it is unclear how deep most people really wanted to get into the deep analysis of its backstory, unlike e.g. political memes where that is more the point.

          Oh ah… I mean, b/c hers is bigger than his. :-P

        Not certain it’s slut shaming so much as addressing lying. She told him 3 guys, when the mountain of stolen sweaters, and her profuse sweating implies it was more than three. I don’t care about body count and I’m uncertain if the author does, but this joke is still funny if you don’t care about body count.

      What you’ve committed is a class A felony, hoodie theft sans boning. Straight to jail.

      If there was boning, the hoodie becomes a party favor that’s handed out to guests to commemorate the event.

      People give me their garbage hoodies. I take hoodies that are destined for the thrift store. They ask go on the back of my desk chair. I can’t lean back too far out the weight of them will topple me backwards. Yes I’m happy living this kind of hoodie goblin existence.
