This will hurt me...

The Tao of Charlie continues...

In respect to my feminist friends out there scattered over the globe, I thought I'd post of pair of lady-friendly comics today. The lady above - courtesy of the Married to the Sea - reminds me of both Henry and Ezra, who despite lacking the requisite criteria for womanhood, are both fine young ladies . Yes, we've embraced renowned crackpot feminist academic Judith Butler's notion of Gender Trouble in this house. I particularly like Lucy's justification at the end of the strip below. There should be more of it. As I've said before, I consider Lucy something of a personal role model. Indeed, I consider myself a great example of a strong woman .

It's been a while since I shared a cartoon, so here you go. For some reason, this one struck a chord with me. It's from Stereotypist , which is well worth a gander.

You may have figured out by now that I enjoy odd comics. I have linked to a few in the past , and now want to share a new one that I've found and am enjoying. This one is called Pictures for sad children , and is written and drawn by John Campbell. He describes his work as "pretty okay" and "about a bad feeling you get when you are feeling good, or a good feeling you get when you are feeling bad". Thus, these comics may not be appropriate for sad children. Have a look, you'll probably like them.

I have blogged on Kate Beaton's comics previously . Kate has uploaded a bunch of new comics and I couldn't look past this one featuring a meeting of the minds that we have all been waiting for. Yes, Garfield (the cat) and James A. Garfield (twentieth President of the United States, most famous for being assasinated). I really like her work, so if you are into this sort of thing check it out. [Note, I do like very much how she has continued envisioning Pope John Paul II as a 'boyz in the hood' kind of guy.]

This comic is for Vince: I have been enjoying throughout the day these little cartoons by Canadian Kate Beaton (in my sanity breaks), who draws from all sorts of things, particularly interesting little titbits from history. As an aside, the spellchecker says 'titbits'. Funny, I've always said 'tidbits', but it is TITbits. Filthy. Well there you go! Anyway, if you liked this, here is her website , and some other links to some of her work.
