Little clippings and then a serious bit at the end.

2 of my favourite panels from books that I picked up this week. The first is from the Jamie McKelvie drawn back up to Invincible Iron Man #33. Like his story in Ultimate Spider-man #150, it's a story told without dialogue. Good Morning Tony was excellent as a short vignette in what being Tony Stark means now and how you can tell the story of his life quickly and easily. Look at all of the information and character that this panel underneath conveys.

If it wasn't for Basri's artwork, I might have dropped Power Girl. I'm not reading Generation Lost, because it doesn't interest me. Except now, it seems that I am reading Generation Lost. Boo.

Still, I do like this picture of Karen getting a hello of a surprise at her desk.

Can we put this"SURPRISE BUTTSECKS!!" joke, which is essentially "she looks like she's being raped up the arse! - lol" out to pasture.

For a start, it's generally poor form to have a rape-lol joke going about in what's supposed to be a safe space.
For another, it's objectifying to assume that only one thing can put a wide eyed and open mouthed expression on a woman's face - theforcible insertion of a foreign object into her rectum.

Or am I being a party pooper?

I shouldn't be laughing at your PDD guesses because I'm trying to say something serious....
gimme a sec.

WHOO okay.

About the rape jokes, well, they're just jokes, and they're not specific to women either.... And not many people actually connect SURPRISE BUTTSEX to rape, it's pretty much the same as every single green joke in this comm. If we consider one joke as offensive as this, then all jokes in this comm are and how many do you see popping up here every single day?

Just saying, the negative connotations are lost in everyone understanding it's just a joke, it's meant to be funny, it's not exclusively offensive and it's not trying to hurt anyone...
