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.
“The standard tricking-foreigners-into-believing-Vegemite-is-edible schtick is just cruel if you ask me.”
Don’t bet on it, there are at least two fans of Vegemite in Illinois – I had to leave my tube of it behind for ’em. Of course they had the advantage of being shown how to spread it on toast (ie. on butter, and Very Thinly) instead of making the mistake of thinking it’s a spread the way mayo or cream cheese are used in the US. Nobody could form a taste for it after that.
I had a Denny’s Caesar salad once (yeah, I know, but we were on the freeway and there were no other places any better). It was an overgrown iceberg lettuce with some chunks of chicken on top.
Yes. And “crisps” and “fries” are both “chips”. We survive.
Turns out chicken salt does have chicken in it, or at least one variety does! No MSG, either.
New one-panel.
Kittehs, is offering chicken or plain salt with chips standard down your way? Could be a NSW thing.
Love the bowl of red pills!
Huh. So it’s basically like powdered gravy.
Not a gravy fan and had never thought of it that way, but I guess it is. The paprika and salt stick out far more than the chicken to my tongue, though.
I might like it since I like almost anything with paprika. Do they have Bahslen crisps where you are? If so these are pretty good.

I like the posters in the background in Elam’s secret underground lair.
Nothing like that over here that I’ve seen.
I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like chicken salt, so you probably would. I suppose it’s our version of Hawai’ians having salt shakers full of fivespice. Get your hands on some! Could be tricky but if worst comes to worst figure out a way to get in contact and I can send some over.
I think the awards in the background are plaques – hence the “Most Loyal Customer – Plaque Co.” award.
“Yes. And “crisps” and “fries” are both “chips”. We survive.”
But context is misandry! (I might actually miss Steele’s / Mr. Al’s rants…)
LOL, Katz! Poor Pierre. At least he didn’t get called a mangina. He’d have been even more baffled.
I like that executive toy thingy on the desk next to the red pills.
lowquacks – I’ve seen or heard of chicken salt, but I can’t think where – chip shops, fast food joints, maybe? I’ve never tried it, it sounded a bit weird to put chicken-flavoured something onto chips. I try not to salt ’em at all now.
I’m trying to remember now how the UK handles the issue of what to call tortilla chips. In theory they’re crisps, right? at least the non-fresh kind. But “tortilla crisps” sounds like something flat that you should be putting cream cheese on.
Chip shops and charcoal/portuguese chicken places have it, usually. Some fish n chip shops, too. Fast food places never have it.
Heems of rap group Das Racist explained context a little better in the Man Boobz Standard Language of Hating The White Man.
They’re “corn chips” in Australia.
Random but hilarious – apparently Glen Beck wrote a letter to Muse? They have informed him that their songs don’t mean what he wants them to but he’s just not having it.

Now I’m craving chips. Either kind. Malt vinegar is the way to go!
I can definitely see the overlap there. Combine the David Icke obsession with big manly rock that sounds like something a sci-fi-obsessed 12-year-old would imagine owning an electric guitar would be like, and you’ve got a libertarian pants-creaming. That’s the trick with Muse – they’re like most of Led Zep’s catalogue in which you have to slip back to being 12, silly, and full of hormones.
Bellamy’s “left-leaning libertarianism” is presumably anarchism, or possibly social democracy with social libertarianism?
I’m not convinced that Bellamy knows what he’s on about, politically speaking, but you’d have a hard time finding any British musician who wouldn’t break out in hives at the idea of being associated with Beck.
Still cluier than Glenn Beck. And he’s endearingly clueless, anyway.
The italics tag seems to be making text blue, too?
Having someone like Beck as a fan must be so embarrassing, especially if you have any interest in politics yourself. If he ever declares himself a fan of the Manics I think Nickie might try to kill him.
I did a double take when I saw the name Bellamy then – I thought of David Bellamy and knew that couldn’t be right. 😛
I recall someone who is not Morrisey from The Smiths publicly told David Cameron that he was not allowed to like The Smiths. And then there was that whole thing with Rage Against The Machine and a GOP 2012 candidate, and every person who’s ever used Born In The USA as background to a political advert.
Now, just look at the root structure!
I couldn’t remember the name of the GOP candidate so I was tempted to just write ‘the one who looks like an even-more-plastic Ken doll’, but then realised that wouldn’t narrow it down too much. Possibly the deputy guy. Ryan? Sorry, all these horrible misogynist straight white dudes just blur into one.
