Actually, try strip #1601.
And our slapper girl looks like a combination of Faye and Cosette.
horsefish:
Thanks, I was looking for that... you beat me to it. DAMN YOU :-D
Rusty:
ahhh Marty, never get caught staring!
and thank you to my GF sitting here, telling me that "You look like the brown haired dude- get a haircut." Its my hair!

--- Quote from: Napoleon_Blownapart on 13 Feb 2011, 20:47 --- Guys practically have a free license to stare at girls in bars. That's one of the many functions of a bar. Girls don't hit guys for staring at them in bars anymore, if they ever did at all.

Really? Really? Lemme tell you, when I go to my neighborhood bar scandalously clad in in jeans and a t-shirt, it's because I want to get out of my house and have a beer or hang out with friends. It certainly is NOT to give guys an opportunity to longingly stare at my ass, and the fact that you apparently find this to be something you are entitled to do just because a woman is in a public place where there is alcohol makes me feel really, really creeped out. I would probably not slap you for it but good god would that make me feel gross and angry.

As a guy, I would not interfere with you having a beer and hanging out with your friends. I wouldn't get in your space or hit on you. I don't like trying to make superficial connections with strangers in bars. But I damn well have a right to silently check you out. Hell, I have a right to check you out in public too. When you step out of your door into the wide world every day, you forfeit the right to not be looked at. Nobody has the right to harass you or invade your space. But unless you choose to wear a burka, anyone has the right to just look - so long as that's all they do.
If you feel creeped out by guys who do this, then I suggest you grow a thicker skin.

People probably stare/ogle you when you're not looking, and I bet you do the same to other guys.

But a casual look/checking out isn't what we're talking about here. We're talking about a guy saying he feels he has full license to lock in and stare even when it obviously isn't well received by the girl, and that he feels that letching on girls (whatever the reason they happen to be there) is part of the function of a bar and something he's apparently entitled to.
P.S. OP, if that isn't what you meant, perhaps you'd have done better not to align yourself with Marten, cause--harmless and well-meaning as Marten is, that's what he was doing in that comic. He didn't just look, he glued his eyes to her ass and stared, for a while, even as she noticed and was giving him the stinkeye. (Again, I don't think that deserves a slap, but insisting "I can too bltatantly stare at your ass even if it makes you uncomfortable and that's what you get for going out in public"--that gets closer to it.)
