I think the author, Mike Lester, either knows where the skeletons are buried or he works really really cheap. He did a horrid "Anthony Bourdame" week. Please don't hate me, but I'm going to post another of his [sarcasm]wonderful[/sarcasm] crossdress weeks.
He really needs to spend some time with some t-folk. His parody is awful and he could set the movement back ten years, if anyone read his strip. (For the record, I think the "buckaroo" strip I posted was his last funny one.)
By the way, I've criticised topics in cartoons before, and once a cartoonist himself. But I readily admit that (a) I would have loved to have been a cartoonist (b) I could never produce a fresh, truly funny idea daily and (c) the artwork in XKCD is way beyond anything I could draw.
I bring you the (groan) crossdressing crossing guard.
So, so bad.
ReplyDeleteThe only amusing thing about this is that I can see Mike Lester feeling like he was not only being funny but also being very progressive by portraying a crossdresser as a "good guy." I suspect he woke up one morning with the phrase "crossdressing crossing guard" and thought he could get a whole week out of it.
I don't know if this will set the movement back 10 years. It's offensive, of course, but so dumb that it's difficult to feel really offended.
