You might well be right, hard to tell on the screen size I'm looking at.
That said... clavicles don't meet in the middle... his line seems to.
(Although... again could be the screen... it looks like it might be a shade of brown rather than the black of normal neck seams...)
Ho-hum...

It seems to be the same person May was shoving with a broom in the previous strip; I assumed that it was one of those pesky teens, and I see nothing in the current strip to suggest otherwise.

See above.

--- Quote from: Cornelius on 21 Aug 2019, 23:06 ---... an uphill battle against the Victorian myths that have very heavily influenced the popular image.
--- End quote ---
And of course we create new myths for our own prejudices. There's a spectacular amount of mythmaking about the Victorians for instance.
TheEvilDog:
There's a couple of other incidents that happened in the 20th Century that changed the perception of pink from a masculine colour to a feminine one.
- Mamie Eisenhower wearing a pink dress at the inaugural ball in 1953.
- Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli was known for her association with surrealist artists of the era, and invented the shade "Shocking pink". She also created a perfume called "Shocking" and sold it in a bottle supposedly modelled after Mae West's torso. Many of her designs would use the vibrant pinks.
- During the Second World War, prisoners in Nazi concentration camps accused of homosexuality were forced to wear a pink triangle. Which evolved into the symbol of the modern gay rights movement.
A lot of it comes from how chemical dyes improved in the 20th century and basically more people had more choice.
