(gently caress gender reveals. There are very few situations where they're actually good.)

I've been to one gender reveal party and the highlight was watching the mom and dad to be smash pink-and-blue-dyed eggs on each other's heads until they got to the hard boiled egg which marked whether the kid had a penis or not. It was wild.

I'm pretty sure this thing about Reagan was already in another Rip, so repeating this is completely unwelcome. Hell, I'm pretty sure we all reacted with the same contempt as last time.

I think that this is growing on me, please keep posting it. It kind of reminds me of the subtle small-town humor in Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon Days.

Glad you like it. These early strips are more slice-of-life vignettes, but we'll start seeing seeds for longer story arcs that make up most of the series.

I only have excellent ideas
Dykes to Watch Out For (1987)
(spoilered for nudity)


Not a lot of topical stuff here and I am incapable of explaining torts or wanting to explain torts. I was curious about when the formulation "<x> of color" came into broad circulation since I personally didn't encounter it until college in the late aughts. It's apparently older than I thought, with a stray citation in 1796 and then MLK Jr.'s "citizens of color" before really entering the mainstream in the 80s and 90s. "Women of color" as a term for a specific political and activist bloc was introduced in 1977 at the National Women's Conference. Here's the great Loretta Ross on its origins:

Loretta Ross posted:

Y’all know where the term “women of color” came from? Who can say that? See, we’re bad at transmitting history. In 1977, a group of Black women from Washington, DC, went to the National Women’s Conference, that [former President] Jimmy Carter gave $5million to have as part of the World Decade for Women. There was a conference in Houston, TX. This group of Black women carried into that conference something called “The Black Women’s Agenda” because the organizers of the conference—Bella Abzug, Ellie Smeal, and what have you—had put together a three-page “Minority Women’s Plank” in a 200-page document that these Black women thought was somewhat inadequate. (Giggles in background) So they actually formed a group called Black Women’s Agenda to come [sic] to Houston with a Black women’s plan of action that they wanted the delegates to vote to substitute for the “Minority Women’s Plank that was in the proposed plan of action. Well, a funny thing happened in Houston: when they took the Black Women’s Agenda to Houston, then all the rest of the “minority” women of color wanted to be included in the “Black Women’s Agenda.” Okay? Well, [the Black women] agreed…but you could no longer call it the “Black Women’s Agenda.” And it was in those negotiations in Houston [that] the term “women of color” was created. Okay? And they didn’t see it as a biological designation—you’re born Asian, you’re born Black, you’re born African American, whatever—but it is a solidarity definition, a commitment to work in collaboration with other oppressed women of color who have been “minoritized.”

"Taken from us too soon, slipped loose the surly bonds of drama and petty dickery to pursue that demon narcotic, affection and queer matrimony. Her weird-shaped eyes will watch over us from upper New York State. We hold her memory in the place where all good characters go, setting a place for her in the vaunted halls of eternity next to Aaron Hill and Liberal Lady of Color."

I'll admit to being surprised that Larson expected his readers to be aware of the 1979 essay collection Broca's Brain, by Carl Sagan, which includes Sagan reminiscing about the time he found Paul Broca's preserved brain in a jar.

Larson was not afraid of getting extremely niche with his humor, but I guarantee you some professor cut that strip out and thumbtacked it to the cork board on her office door. I'm pretty sure my parents had a couple Far Side strips on their office doors, but after all this time I couldn't tell you which ones.

The classical Freudian anal sadistic character in its purest form.

On the gender reveal strip, I'm inclined to read it charitably as also criticizing the practice.

I've really disliked it too. It's so condescending without having any sort of substance. Are these strips recent or are they from the height of Dawkins and the like?

I have to say it every now and then: I legitimately love The Lockhorns. Despite the fact that the thrust of the strip is two people constantly sniping at each other, it never comes across as mean-spirited; It's two cranks who got together and appreciate what they have.
