Those of you who aren’t regular readers of the comments here may not be aware of A Voice for Pierre, the hilarious new webcomic by regular Man Boobz commenter Katz, inspired by Man Boobz trolls and dopey Boobz more generally. Here’s the first strip, about a poor paranoid MRA afraid to take his sons to Canada lest they be attacked and possibly killed by wild feminists. Naturally, it’s based on a TRUE STORY.
You can find more Pierre at the A Voice for Pierre website.
Kitteh, that was an extremely important post even though you omitted capitals, and !!!!1!!!!1
Inigo looks lovely. Did you hand-stitch those seams, because they look extremely neat? And I wish you were taking orders for cat dolls in those lovely clothes.
I’ve recently finished my first properly intermediate-level crochet project, image soon to be up on Ravelry. 🙂 Just need to grab the camera…
LOL he’s not Inigo, though I love watching Princess Bride ‘cos Inigo looks a bit like him! That’s Mr K, though I made le petit roi long before I had any idea we’d ever be in contact.
Yup, those seams are all hand done – backstitch. I’ve never learned to use a sewing machine very well. Plus it wouldn’t have been practical for the really small stuff, only for the long seams on Dinah’s clothes.
Somewhere around here I’ve pics of her in the Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I dresses I made for her to see if I could. Must find them.
😀 BRILLIANT.
Awww! 🙂
Okay, here is Missy doing her Anne Boleyn look,
and her Elizabeth I ‘Armada Portrait’ look.
This is just so much win! (Although the one with Diogenes is my favorite.)
@Kitteh, those are fantastic. Days of work in each one?
Kiwi girl – merci! It took days and weeks. I can’t remember how long it took to do the Armada dress but it might have been a month or more. The underskirt was cream, and I had to stitch the gold and silver braid over it (the silver doesn’t really show in the photo) and then the pearls and garnets and their gold backing individually. Biggest hand-sewing job I’ve ever done.
Pfft, i have done better art and issues wise, but not so much in spelling and word uses.(only post on image boards)
Oh and good job at this having a man bare the problem’s and not having women in it even though its woman’s issues.
The mras are worse then you think, they are not just some extinction burst, its a backlash, when feminism got stronger, worse and worse degrading torture porn was created in response, sex media targeted at little girls even more (bratz babies/monster high 6+)
In the time of muhammad women were ARGUING with him, telling him its not right to make everyone believe woman are stupid and compare them to donkeys.
But history has shown us time and time again, if nobody cares enough, the wost of the men will make us slaves again, and if nobody cares enough, they will let it happen. (most women don’t care and would gladly become slaves again)
The witch burnings, woman were the wise woman, and the church didn’t like it when wise women warned people to stay away from sugar because it ruins the teeth, so the church killed most woman, and only stopped because they were running out of women to make more male babies(the french said that), and to much men were getting accused later on… you see, when it becomes THEIR problem.
I could go on and on, i just.. sorry about this.
@Kitteh, you are clearly multi-talented. 🙂 Here’s the photos I have taken of the crochet necklace I finished off yesterday:

Those dangling bits are three-dimensional so I had to crochet two sides to each one and join them together. All that sewing up, but nothing compared to yours. 🙂
Kiwi girl, that’s gorgeous! I don’t think I’ve seen anything like that before. And it could have all sorts of possibilities for adding brooches, couldn’t it, if the flowers are solid enough? I like, I really like.
Oh couldn’t resist looking at the pic of the computer kitties too!
@The Kitteh’s Unpaid Help
Your stuff is full of win, too! So much win on this thread!
@Kiwi Girl
Your stuff, too! Wow. I am so impressed with everbody’s talent!
There’s a lot of talented people on this site, fersures!
@Kitteh and Some Girl, thanks for the compliments. 🙂
Kitteh – I hadn’t though of brooches. I used the sewing on of the beads to sew the flowers onto the necklace body. An alternative would be to sew the flowers on, lose the beads, and use brooches as the middle parts of the flowers. Would be interesting regardless of whether or not the brooches matched.
Currently I am starting to go through my crochet and knitting magazines, putting each pattern into an excel sheet so, for example, if I want knitted sock patterns, I can just sort/filter on the columns. It’s taking me *ages* and not helped by my sudden realisation that I should include the yarn weight so if I want a sock pattern for 4-ply, I’m not wading through patterns of the wrong yarn weight. /sigh
@Kiwi Girl
Your spreadsheet sounds like something I would do. Organizational high-five?
@Some Girl, possibly OCD suffers unite high-five! But I have so many magazines, I don’t want to look through each of them when I’m in the mood to do a particular product. And then there’s my electronic ones too… oh, darn, now I need a column for paper vs. electronic…
Kiwigirl – I was thinking that if you did the centre of the flower, the main one at least, fairly tightly and plain, you could put different brooches on it according to the mood of the day. Would that work?
Kitteh, yes that would work as the first row of each flower is a simple double-crochet/chain repeat. Vintage brooches would look really nice.
That’s what I was thinking. 🙂
Aww, you guys are making me blush.
People are lining up to star alongside Pierre!
Ah, and now I don’t see an African Grey Parrot any more.
BTW, I’m looking for a good name for Pierre’s cat.
katz
How about Duns Scotus?
What about a name of a great Canadian?
