For all of you that are saying that this won’t affect you because you read the comics online, think about how the women’s incomes may dwindle to the point that they can no longer afford to create the beautiful and fun stories we love.
Am I the only one that is wondering if Bernice’s mother is straightening her 6 year old’s hair? It’s quite obviously naturally curly in her later years.
In Scotland they have begun a practice of keeping the statues of the perpetrators of unconscionable acts; however they add a new plaque that has additional information on those acts- so that new generations will learn from them. (except when I checked the link to add it here I see that the descendants of one of the slavers in question are lobbying to remove the additional wording) >
Can’t you just keep your overanalyzation tendencies in check for a second and maybe think that Kip gave Stef the ring too recently for it to have appeared in past comics? And that she didn’t take it to camp precicely so she wouldn’t lose it there? I actually did lose a ring once in PE class because I had to take it off during gymnastics. And if you don’t like how loosely the story is plotted, there are plently of other comics for you to read!

an assault is always the fault of the assaulter. I was raped, and as a consequence of my feelings of guilt (which were augmented with every single interaction with the male authorities,) I too became a volunteer for a rape crisis line. My feelings were shared by 100% of the callers I assisted, and of COURSE I told them it was not their fault!
But was one of your boyfriends Paul McCartney? Then it would be the same situation.
