An alternate version of this strip ran in some papers where “fairy” was changed to “sissy”. Apparently Pastis thought “fairy” and “sissy” were synonymous, not knowing that “fairy” in certain contexts is considered a gay slur.

If you, and future readers, must know, that comment was in reference to banned user Danman1979’s deleted comment. This site is better off without him.
