I assume you mean live-action, but Homer Simpson kissed a man in 1990.

When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.


In today's Corto Maltese: Sultana gets sent to the glue factory, or Corto is happy with Rasputin. wait WHAT?!, or Corto and Raspa tear up the dance floor

Oh yeah! So he did! I can't believe I forgot that and I can't believe that in looking up the male/male kiss on TV apparently everyone else did too. It's odd that the Dawson's Creek kiss is specified as the first prime-time one of its kind, which makes me wonder if there's some obscure scene in a day-time soap or something, but doesn't make any mention at all of the animated scene from The Simpsons.

Although now I want to go off and watch The Celluloid Closet again.

Possibly the latter? Note the opening panel in which Clarice tells Aloysius to do it.


Believe it or not, someone desecrated 2000 graves?

edit: okay, it wasn't a wanton act of graverobbing - during the Depression, the city couldn't afford to maintain a cemetery with upright marble headstones, so they sliced them in half, laid the halves with the names flat on the ground, and sold the nameless halves for $45 total.

Which still seems like a scam to me - surely just the labor to uproot the stones, slice them, and reinstall the sliced halves cost more than $45?

I grew up in the 80's/90's and was only vaguely aware of gay people, like Elton John. Melissa Etheridge surprised me far more: keep in mind I was a sheltered kid, my dad was horribly old-fashioned ("you'll learn to drive after you learn to iron!" I was about 10 when I started ironing his clothes) and I had had no idea that women could like women. My education of the sexes in terms of relationships mostly came from my parents' unhappy marriage, and trashy romance novels that always had a stubborn headstrong woman who 'learned her place' because of a man, who was usually a rogue of some kind but had a good heart. So my theory always went that eventually all women would become 'real women' once they were taught by said rogue. No, there was never any discussion about this in my house, why?

it was on PopUp Video where I found out this cool looking lady with the guitar was a lesbian. And about the time Ellen came out, I was still unsure, but at least in Ellen's case, my idiot kid mind figured: well, she probably tried to find a man, but look at her! Melissa, by comparison, had a haunting voice and loving awesome hair and looked amazing and....well this is an odd feeling I'm having, I will stop watching PopUp Video.


Yeah, it took me a long rear end loving time to realize I was a lesbian, why do you ask?

Fun Mo fact: for all her unease about the trans community, she gets mistaken for a boy a loving lot, especially when the bookstore she works at has Harry Potter days; customers get irritated "Harry" doesn't have his scar.

Be who you are.

Me, I'm a person who doesn't read DTWOF here, because it's just a little too small for my eyes. And a lot busier than I remember from the days when I read it in the Baltimore City Paper. There's a lot going on there. I like the notes.

Anyway, here's a Sunday Juliet Jones. I'm beginning to think Pop Jones just hates to have the extra room unoccupied.

Oh I don't want him to do poo poo, I just imagine that's the next panel that follows. It's just such a clunky dramatic thing to drop and it's either going into the direction of "Curtis suits up to go see his teacher in the hospital" or the weird direction of "Curtis develops existential despair in the face of a pandemic" and frankly I kind of don't want either. It's interesting that loving Curtis is one of the first (still in a newspaper eat a dick Intelligent Life) plot comics to slide these current events in but also I dread the directions it's going to go with. Rex Morgan I can deal with because he's a doctor, it makes sense.

If that's not adjusted for inflation it's the equivalent of almost $900 today, which seems like a pretty substantial price.

She has to see him in person because she's still trying to decide which boyfriend to keep. She can't be honest about that because you might dump her and she wants to keep both boyfriends on the table until her final decision. Besides, if she were honest even for a moment there's a chance people might figure out that she isn't a completely blameless victim of circumstance in this affair, just a boring cheater, and she can't have that.
