Over on Comics Should Be Good, glimpses of a terrifying misandrist future — and the man who set out to make things right again!
He does look cute in his little cleaning outfit, I have to admit.
Check the whole thing out. It’s pretty hilarious.
EDIT: I changed the link from Buzzfeed to Comics Should Be Good, which originally dug up the comic and shows more from it.

Welp, fucked that up.
I would suggest cutting out the Buzz Feed middle man, and go to the original article.

I don’t want to spoil the ending, but 300 YEARS!?! Women rule for 300 years and decide that’s “long enough”? That is so not fair. Men get to run things for millennia, women get 300 fucking years, and then one dude gets into the rocket corps and that’s it?
I wish the authors had to go through Thebor-training.
Funny coincidence with the other thread mentioning the 1950s, the same era as this comic.
2980 – Still too early for a woman as head-of-state, apparently.
ScoPi, you’re right. I changed the link.
Doesn’t it say something that the writers of the strip couldn’t fathom the idea of neither sex being dominant?
That’s adorable.
Some people’s belief that, if given equality, minorities would flip the script and oppress the former-majority is rather revealing about those people, isn’t it? It’s like they believe that someone has to be oppressed, so they need to make sure it’s not them by being oppressive.
As for the comic, I especially love the part where this woman, having gone through arduous training, traveled in space, and had an adventure on another world, is now content to be, not just the equal of the man she once oppressed, but his maid and sex toy and general inferior. ‘Cause that makes sense.
Babies!
Babies are never off-topic.
Reminds me of this from the 80s… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcMd1F1acSo
Whoops, ninja’d by The Kittehs’ Help.
And Falconer, your link still isn’t working.
Squees over Falconer babies
You said it better, though, emilygoddess! 🙂
The link worked for me both times – could it be your browser?

Well, the men will stay in charge for 40 years, then women will take over again. Women will stay in power for 19 years, then men for 7, women for 4, men for 2, women for 1, men for 6 months, women for 3, and we’ll hit equilibrium in 34th century, shortly before the earth in invaded by marshmallow bears.
looks like I messed up my blockquotes.
Awww look at the wee ones!
Falconer would you be willing to tell us what you have named them? Obviously don’t say if you’re not comfortable, I just love hearing what people name their kids.
Babies babies babies babies 😀 😀
Baroncognito – you’re not a true manboobzer ’til the blockquote monster gets you, so congrats, you have passed the initiation!
I want to know about marshmallow bears. They sound less scary than drop bears.
Aww babieeeees!
The young woman on the left who is going to be smart and tough and gentle and do anything she sets her mind to is named Selena.
The young man on the right who is going to be tender and caring and look out for everyone around him and also do anything he sets his mind to is named Adrian.
Wow falconer mega congrats and cute names! I hope you are getting enough rest and happy times. Internet Kisses to the new ones and your partner 🙂
Those are lovely names Falconer, you are going to be an awesome parent 🙂
@falconer
