I hate all this bs. I want progressive taxes, regulations, and social services. It galls me with all this smokescreen crap.

    I have a basic DP question.

    After discovering the strip here, I went to the website and started reading it from the beginning. Jennie always has the same logo on her shirt. What is it? I’m pretty much out of the loop on that sort of thing.

      Labrys- double headed axe. Feminist symbol. Matriarchy.

      Pre-internet I drew the batman logo on my shirt in college comics. Then in 2000 when someone suggested I put my comic strips on the internet, I figured a copyrighted symbol wasn’t the best idea for branding, so I adjusted the batman logo to look more like a labrys. Which is why early comics the handle is more like a batman tail.

      The way she has drawn it has changed but I think its the batman logo. I feel like it was mentioned at some point before she met her husband but the strip goes for like over two decades so im not 100% if it did or if im hallucinating it.

    I wonder if there’s a market for a comic like this, but where the idiot protestor gets shot in the head. Just full on revenge porn.

      Maybe. I doubt this artist would up for it though. Even violence depicted is clearly done in a mental fantasy type of way. My guess is they want a functional and fair and peaceful society. Like many of us they are seeing a situation that may not allow for that but don’t want to take those steps if it can be avoided. I mean they may not have a take like this but its what I get from the few decades of the comic.
