God Himself Could Not Sink This Ship: Thoughts on Marten, Claire, and the Future

<< < (34/39) > >>

Is it cold in here?:
More than one other. There was the Sara cartoon, and the Yelling Bird/Harriet fireworks cartoon.

I look at it as character growth for Marten.

hedgie:
It could be remaining as it is to show character growth, as well as evolution of society.  I don't know whether or not it was a true ret-con, but in the beginning, robots were more like pets, but Clinton's first appearance was about an AI civil rights amendment, and later, Anthro-PCs were, under the law, the same as biological beings.

I've heard people make this case before about 615, but I seriously don't get it.  If one's attraction has biases based on biological sex (which I'll admit is an odd concept to me, but clearly not everyone's bisexual) then having sex with a post-op trans* person could be quite a lot to wrap one's mind around.  It's not prejudiced to have one's mind shattered by such a revelation in that case, and it's certainly not prejudiced to depict a character in that position.

Is it cold in here?:
But it's also not the inclusiveness which Jeph identifies as a major theme of Questionable Content.

DSL:
I will posit that the author of the current strips is, in a way, a different person than the person who wrote 615.
