It came to my attention that one of the papers that carries my strip (fine, the ONLY paper, happy?) ran into a little issue regarding a sex advice column. According to my sources, some of the more conservative readers took offense to the mentioning of naughty bits in print.
Here’s my question: where were all these outraged readers when I did MY raunchy comics?
Seriously!! I’ve done tentacle porn and bondage. I’ve even shoved a bird up the butt and I don’t even think they have a name for that! What’s a guy gotta do to generate a little controversy around here?! They even ran a story about it in the Baltimore Sun!
Whatever. Usually, the people who are most vocal about being offended by sexual content are the same people who dress up like Little Bo Peep and spank each other with fish behind closed doors.
or hang out in airport bathrooms looking for love. or fly to argentina to be with their soulmate after telling their spouse they’re going hiking. but everything’s ok as long as nobody knows. Well screw that! I read this comic and I don’t care who knows it! (Just don’t tell my mom, else I’ll have to loudly declaim this strip and its author as degenerate.)
Ah, the power of collective denial. It’s a beautiful thing.
or are offended because they’re forty and still aren’t sure what this whole “sex” thing entails.
