Personally, I’m so used to that word I didn’t even notice — and I don’t remember which version ran on comics.com. I do realise that to be on GoComics you have to conform to the conventions of a “family” website, and I don’t use that language in my comments. But JW isn’t for kids anyway, and their conversation sounds totally natural. icedebby — I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. “Lesbionic” isn’t a real word.While some might take offense at it, few people have ever heard it and the cartoonist who made it up IS a gay woman. "S---T, however, is a well known expletive, banned on many, if not most, family-friendly websites. I’m sure it’s not Paige who actually objects to its use here.
