Great comics. And the writing–short condensed content–made for twitter!
I hope there’s lots more coming. It’s great.

I just noticed your “pimp” character was black. After your comments about unfair stereotypes on MTSS, I am completely surprised to see other stereotype being perpetuated here. I really hope you accept both my comments on your blog today, and respond to at least this one.

ModernHooker,
Perfect! Then you can explain how the comment on MTSS advocated/suggested violence. The term used there was dead, as in deceased, and there was nothing contextually or implicitly that I could see that implied violence. While I can accept that you write your comic from your perspective, you do make assumptions about your audience, for example that they will not imply racism simply because you have a single pimp character, who is black, and that character is introduced with no context to explain why the decision was made to have the character be black. There is certainly, I think, the possibility that someone could perceice a stereotype about “pimps are black” as being perpetuated here.

What really sucks is I feel like I could really enjoy your stuff and appreciate your message, but now I don’t feel like I can due to your behavior at MTSS.
