Thursday Comic Fashion Review: 5% gayer by the day

Hello out there kiddies, did you have fun during the past week? I hope so because it is time once again for the Thursday Comic Fashion Review with your tour guide Stella Tamzarian, Action Librarian! Oh man it has been quite exciting in the Land O' Libraries this week. I may a bit late on this but I'm starting to really like the program "Library Thing". Its basically a public version of Worldcat, which is a tool that connects library collections across the country. Library Thing allows individuals as well as small libraries and organizations to share their catalogs online. You can search for a book and see who owns the book across the country. Its very easy to add books to your collection because they pull information from hundreds of sources including Amazon.com and the mackdaddy of them all, The Library of Congress. I just started my online collection today so there isn't much on there yet and I'm going to have to wait until another day to put the rest on there. If I knew this existed before I wouldn't have gone through the effort of cataloguing my books in an Excel sheet.

Don't look at me like that. Onto the comix!

Your moody boyfriend thinks you're a whore my scruffy friend. The fact that he says he's entitled confuses me though. Is he a virgin? And who is counting? The only people who are if you can wear virginal white are the same people who are going to be mad that your wedding is registered at Big Bob's Buttplug and Anal Lube Emporium.

Luann, 3/25/2009The prospect of TJ's closet is even more horrible in color. You see kiddies, I read all of my comics at the Houston Chronicle page, where everything is black and white. Up until now I thought I was missing out. What is that yellow rag with the black lines in it? Sweet Jesus can that be a shirt? Or maybe a jacket? And so many hideous colors sitting together like a tacky Goodwill rainbow. The bitch makes Kanye West's wardrobe look toned down. TJ should be less concerned about what goes into his closet and more about what should be coming out, if you catch my gay drift.

LOL bitches love to shop! Especially when you convince their fat asses that they're going to look skinny! Oh man, this well of jokes never goes dry! I predict much "ack!"ing in the future, followed by an hour long binge and purge session, finishing off with a good cry in the shower. Man if most women can relate to Cathy then the Patriarchy won man. I'll just turn in my Militant Dyke card right now and start shooting out babies because I give up.

Whoever marketed a hat for little girls that places two pink, fuzzy balls on their head should take a cue from Chris Hensen and take a seat right over there.

Pluggers, 3/24/2009Plugger sucks, we can all agree on this right? Katelyn? Yes? But this is probably the douchiest of all Pluggers entries just because of the pure, old white man shittyness. The cat head is nightmarish but the message pisses me off. Its a big up yours to "Them LIBERULS wantin me to learn about them savage/ stupid/ greedy [INSERT ETHNIC SLUR HERE] with their 'diversity trainin'!" The only diversity Pluggers know is the Flannel Shirt/ Non-Flannel shirt schism because Pluggers only live around other Pluggers. This can be true for the following reasons.

1. Unless you own a white sheet with a couple of eye holes in it, you ain't welcome in this town!
   
   
   or
   
   
   
2. Nobody wants to live around Pluggers

It could be both. The Pluggers themselves probably think that they keep out all of the undesirables while everyone else in the world thanks Jebus that Pluggers are all concentrated in an easilly avoidable place. Nobody has a reason to go to Pluggerville on accident, unless they're real interested in living out their trailer park fantasies.

What pisses me off most about Pluggers is that it claims to identify an entire class of people. I come from a working class family in Northern Michigan, I even went to a working class university AND a working class graduate school and I'll be damned if Pluggers claims to describe my life. Sure maybe a "working class" graduate school doesn't make sense to a lot of people but when every one of your classmates is working their way through college in their full time job, its a fucking working class graduate school. We were the Marxist dream, an educated proletariat and Pluggers comes along and shits all over it with their anti-intellectual diatribe. So in closing, Pluggers suck.
