In A Civilized World

Nickey: “I’m not used to this; it seems strange to be walking arm-in-arm with another girl.”
Sheila: “You can blame my upbringing. Australian born, Cockney raised, and very continental in style.”
Sheila: “In the civilized countries of the world, friends walk arm-in-arm all the time, without any assumptions being made.”
Tough guy: “Geez, a coupla dykes.” Sheila: “And then there’s the U.S.” Nickey: “We do seem a bit behind.”

It looks like our girls have attracted some undue attention from a minority opinion, and a vocal one at that. Here’s hoping that he doesn’t get Sheila upset; she can be very defensive of her friends. (That’s called “building suspense,” in case you didn’t recognize it…)

This is another strip underwritten by my fond friend Flare Starfire, whose magnificent music can be found and downloaded, absolutely free, from his website, Shire Records. His work as a Pokémon professorial instructor and interviewer of world-champion players is still ongoing. I’ll be sure to keep you posted!

As a pansexual, I’ve had the same problem; yes in the /U.S./ so you get use to it. Best to be packin’ as well, but so far no need for it. Still people need to grow up. It’s irritating, but you did this particular strip well.
