Taeshi’s Commentary On This Page

So my friend and I were Skyping one time and I was reading through random webcomics.. and I found one that was all.. kind of generic and yaoi-filled. And one of the characters made me think “.. you could easily be a girl and it wouldn’t make a difference”.. you know those really girly male characters that just might as well be girls because of how GIRLY they are?! That always drives me nuts!

Anyway.. Evarion was all “You should totally make a gay character in your comic for equality purposes!!” and I was all “.. god make one for me and write me a script now”

So he did.

So I drew Evarion’s script, with some changes here and there.. using the character design of “Carson”

This is easily the greatest comic I’ve done.

Aye, the last two panels…it’s like one of those hilariously generic/cliche “That’s my buddy!” endings combined with a “Shoulda seen that coming!” twist. Cue the twangy Seinfeld bass line!

Ok, another one of these things *grubles under his breath*. I don’t care if your gay, I don’t care about your religon (meaning that I don’t care what religon you follow, not that i would ever disrespect someones religon) I don’t care what race you are. I DON’T CARE!!! I treat people with individual respect or distain depending on how they act and what they say. That being said, MK 23, STFU, you have earned my distain. I am friends with a gay couple, and they are nice guys, and being gay, does not automaticly mean that they are man sluts. (BTW although I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being gay, I’m not gay myself, just a literary nerd who hates ignorance.)

BTW I still think that this page is hilarious, but I hate how people react to this kind of thing.

I love how every one’s either trolling, or making sure everybody knows they ain’t gay-sist (ya know, racist against gays?) Personally, I disagree with trolls, like mk, but whataya gonna do, eh? And yes, I believe gay people are case-to-case basis, just like any other type of person. I just think it ain’t necessary to put too much emphasis on how gay people are like everybody else, I mean, think about it, the people who read it either agree, or will ignore you, why be so loud? It’s like yelling at the person next to you, whatever you’re trying to accomplish, you just end up sending the message “LOUDNESS!”
And yes, I realize I hypocrite’d by writing my own paragraph on the subject and I sincerely apologize.

Lol I don’t think my highschool would function without gay guys, but it is a shame cause it doesn’t leave girls with anyone to date….
In my opinion everyone needs a gay friend cause it is so much fun to have a hot guy with you at the movies and see your gay friend and then he is JEALOUS!! haha

I never noticed Lucy’s face in the last panel, it looks almost like she’s picturing it. That just made a funny comic hilarious.

You should have titled this Comic “Brokeback Kittycat” That was absolutely brilliant, the only other thing more awkward than Mike’s situation would be if that would actually happen to you… unfortunately with the school i go to… Situations like that happen often, however More girls for me, i can’t complain
