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.
So much of what the Nazis did is too big to process. 🙁
Happier note related to the war – a 95 year old former Spitfire pilot here got his wish to fly again the other day. He didn’t go up in a Spit, of course, but in a Tiger Moth, the type he trained in, which is a two-seater. He’d been a photo reconaissance pilot during the war. That was one happy man.
They really are amazingly un-self-aware. They are saying that what is happening to the guy is so horrible. Wouldn’t it be horrible if it happened to you, dear reader? But they never make that tiny leap that it’s horrible for everyone else too.
Though the whole thing is predicated on it being an unnatural situation for a (white) man, when it’s not for everyone else, which of course is why it only takes 1 man standing up to them to turn the tables.
And the flipside of that belief – that if it were natural it wouldn’t be that hard – is that because it is so hard for minorities to get their rights, then it’s not natural.
@Falconer, I tip my hat in respect to you and your beloved. And what gorgeous babies. What’s great about twins is that they will always have a play mate and, although the first year or so is probably tougher with twins, it will really pay off when they are older and can amuse each other. If you have twins, I reckon having them first is best because you just get on with it, it’s just what having babies is. I think if I had been told I was having twins when I was pregnant with my second, I would have cried. And yes, we have two mini manboobzers, both girls (9 and 3).
Parenting derail, sorry.
As the child of a twin (my Dad) I second this comment. Twins often have a really special relationship, it’s a pretty cool thing.
Have some Biscuit.
Still so tiny!
Christ… I looked at the comic panel and thought “Oh, role reversal. Classic progressive ploy…” and then clicked the link and saw the last panel. Facepalm x4 combob (the cats helped)
Falconer: D’awww… the babies are adorable. Also, how did I not know Ursula Vernon created the lolwhut pear?
We had him weighed the other day when we went to pick up flea goo, and he’s not even 5lbs. yet! 4.7, and I’m amazed, because you shold see him shovel the food in. He doesn’t even chew.
How old is he now?
@Kittehs’: From what I’m reading, photo recon in a Spitfire was a dangerous, difficult and exhausting undertaking. Kudos to this 95 year old veteran for his service.
The Spit is a beautiful plane. I’ve loved it for years. It’s the elliptical wings, I think, which first drew my attention to it.
On the other hand, it’s not fair how the Hurricane units got ignored during the war.
Ignored by the public, that is.
think this link will bork but here goes anyway
lol
@leftwingfox: I don’t think I see a signature on the image I linked, but it’s possible it got cut off. Proper credit on the Internets: Ain’t it grand?
Cassandra: he’s almost 7 months old. I think he’s gonna be a runt.
He’s perfectly healthy according to the vet, but he had a lot wrong with him as a tiny baby.
@BigMomma: Thank you very much! We are happy and exhausted.
@big momma
as a twin, I can definitely confirm this (the amuse each other later. I don’t remember being a baby) My twin sister is probably the person I’m the closest too, we share so many things, and entertained each other…well, forever XD I can’t imagine how it is to have a birthday alone! Doesn’t it feel lonely, non twin people?
Sorry, I’m just loving my twin right now XD
“im the only MAN among hundreds of GIRLS”
“look GIRLS a MAN cadet”
They fail at making it look like a matriarchy, he should be called a boy, and them women.
Hmm, mine was 4.5 pounds when I got her at about 6 months, and she’s now 10.4 and a strong little thing, but still kind of runty.
On the other hand, Lilly EXPLODED at about six months into the almost 20lb. behemoth we have now.
Lola Pola and Boo Bear This was the rescue kitty, I need to get a better photo to show how she has grown.
I should try to get a photo of Molly and Lola next to each other. I too have a behemoth of a cat.
Lola is so cute!
We joke “Where does a 20lb cat sleep? Anywhere she wants.”
Biscuit! 🙂
Miss Mads is a touch over 5kg, or 11 pounds. Runty she ain’t, she’s a biggish cat. No idea what she was like as a kitten, alas; she was an adult when we got her.
There was a doco on the night before the item about the Spitfire pilot. It was about the RAF’s photo reconaissance and photo id work at Medmenham, and how vital it was to saving London when the V1 and V2 bombs were developed. They were the ones who figured out that yes, these strange lines on the photos were indeed rockets, and it finally got through to the powers that be (one of the ministers was all “we haven’t developed rockets so of course the Germans couldn’t have either) that this was a real threat. They took out just enough of the launch pads and so on before D Day that it didn’t have to be delayed.
Every Spitfire pilot I’ve ever heard interviewed was just in love with that plane.
Scariest one I’ve heard of during the war was the A 26. Time Team had an ep on it, and pilots were talking about how incredibly limited the visibility was. If you were flying formation you couldn’t see any of the other planes, which is what led to the crash TT were investigating. The pilots changed the rules of formation flying for themselves after that accident, and there were no more formation crashes.
