Minor contra point. Many police in the UK do not carry guns on their person. They have access to guns and the state monopoly on violence is very one-sided in favour of the state, but community-policing and disarmament of the first-contact-point is absolutely something that can and (sometimes) does happen when the societal level of gun violence is low enough.

Emperor Cheesar accepting gold tribute from his feudal vassal

To quote Tim Minchin:

Isn’t this enough?
Just this world?
Just this
Beautiful, complex, wonderfully unfathomable, natural world?
How does it so fail to hold our attention that we have to diminish it with the invention of
Cheap, man-made myths and monsters?
If you’re so into your Shakespeare
Lend me your ear
“To gild refined gold
To paint the lily
To throw perfume on the violet
Is just fucking silly”
Or something like that
Or what about Satchmo?!
“I see trees of Green
Red roses too”
And fine, if you wish to glorify Krishna and Vishnu in a post-colonial, condescending bottled-up and labeled kind of way then whatever, that’s ok
But here’s what gives me a hard-on
I am a tiny
Insignificant, ignorant bit of carbon
I have one life
And it is short and unimportant
But thanks to recent scientific advances
I get to live twice as long as my great great great great uncleses and auntses
Twice as long
To live this life of mine
Twice as long to love this wife of mine
Twice as many years of friends and wine
Of sharing curries and getting shitty at good-looking hippies with fairies on their spines and butterflies on their titties

I know it’s about superstition, new-age nonsense and “spirituality”, not other planets. But it’s just so on point to me for everything where we fail to appreciate this wonderful world around us.

Honestly that was my read too.

Hey,

I love you and your comic, but there are some good points here.

Very much this. You don’t have to be trans to be curious. I’m extremely curious and given the chance would try all kinds of things that some people, who are less secure in their identity, would balk at.

But the body I would really want is just young, fit and healthy and preferably my gender asigned at birth, but I would take any gender if that’s the only way to be young, fit and healthy again.

Accurate but also not. PewDiePie came out in favour and PirateSoftware lied about it. But I think Thor lying created a huge burst of coverage about how he’s wrong and really created lots of noise about it.

And a happy cake day to you!

Do you folks like coffee?
Real coffee
From the Hills
Of Colombia?

The Duncan Hills will wake you
From a thousand deaths
A cup of blackened blood
(Dying, dying)
You’re dying for a cup
Guatemala blend
Ethiopian
French vanilla roast
(Dying, dying)
You’re dying for a cup

Prepare for ultimate flavor
You’re gonna get some now
And scream… for your cream

Thank you very much

Oh, that sounds awesome, can you point me in the right direction?

Fair

Yes, in that stereotype being worldly and educated is presented as foreign, urban, sinful, often depraved and in contrast to the supposed “purity” of small-town innocence and virginity. Remember that these stereotypes originated in the 1950s and are mostly the result of puritan, white, middle class, anglo-saxon, protestant worldviews. It’s the reason that so many villains in american movies (among others Shere Khan, Jafar and Scar) have british accents, while the heroes (like Aladdin) talk with a midwestern accent.

Heh, you know, “kink” as in a “bend”, a “kink”, a “wrinkle” in ones sexuality. So it’s not straight with a kink in it ;)

It’s a kink, maybe a fetish, not exactly straight that’s for sure.

Every movie that had Alan Rickman in it ever… it’s just more subtle when it’s not a cartoon.

Please don’t. I really hate the “the anti-gay crowd is secretly gay”-narrative, because it carries connotations of “the gays” being responsible for their own oppression.
