Fighting the forces of evil and male chauvinism
Many thanks to commenter Anarchyant for “shitlers.”
Oh, ew. There’s nothing that can be done for those boots now. Only fire can make them clean again.
Good grief no!! If you can imagine what they smell like now, imagine what they will reek like when toasted.
Having run a burn out latrine (look it up, maybe get your own copy of FM21-10 while at it, good knowledge for when you camp)…it’s not that bad if you stay upwind until all is ashes.
Ewwwwww….. she got the new Ghostbusters movie on her boot.
Yeah, who would ever imagine that employing rule 63 wouldn’t improve a movie?
Nah… what am I kidding?
Weaksauce joke,dude.
If you are going to wrestle with pigs the first lesson is to learn to enjoy the struggle, mud, much and crap more than the pig does…then it gets pretty easy to make them submit. It’s work, sure, but they give up before you do.
Shitlers. That’s clever! 🙂
And original.
Thank you! I have my moments sometimes lol
Haha. This comic stretches my suspension of disbelief in a comical way. No woman, superheroine or not, would risk a nice pair of heels like that, even if it was in the name of justice by stomping on a literal bigoted piece of shit. I’m a grown man and I admit I’m visibly upset when I step in gum with a pair of ” everyday shoes.”
Agreed. I get very pissed off when I see dog poop, vomit or spit on the ground. I am very paranoid about stepping in something gross and I don’t own any fancy high heals. Even ordinary shoes are just too expensive to be ruined with dog poop. My sneakers cost me about $200, which is a lot of money to me. They are not even to be worn outside the gym except for the occasional jog. No way I am going to step on those Shitlers with those!
Maybe I will swot them with something instead. Much better than ruining my shoes, cheaper too!
Trust me as a guy I wouldn’t want my DM boots squelching in Shitlers either, but “for the greater good” and all that, Gynostar takes one for the team.
Yep. She is awesome for that.
Aawwww…..those ‘Shitlers’ are so cute!! Look at them all saying “cuck” together!! I’m weird I know, but I just can’t get over how adorable they are. ^^;
I know! 😀 I’ll never look at anyone calling me a cuck the same way again!
Lol! I know, right?! From now on, every time I hear or read the word ‘cuck’, I will be reminded of those adorable little Shitlers! ?
You never know but Rebecca may even get some knocked up as little plush ones for you! *Try the new Shitlers! Cuddly little turds who say Cuck when your squeeze or step on them!*
That would be awesome!
That’s right! You wouldn’t have to play with them. You could simply sprinkle them on the floor near someone’s bed. Play pranks on your friends, family and partygoers. Hours of endless entertainment!
Lol!
Dang. I meant “hours of mindless entertainment”.
I found this comic so preachy and annoying. Normally I don’t even vote, but I’m going Trump just because anyone you hate this much has to be the right choice.
What are you, a sexist, racist, xenophobic islamophobic chromophobic arachnophobic bigot?!?!?!
Actually I find all of Rebecca’s work quite preachy. I assume that the desire to get her message out is what fuels her art. If she had nothing to say, we would be looking at a big empty white space.
I view her whole body of work as a series of illustrations about characters with messages (mostly women, mostly feminist). I observe, however, that the characters generally know they are preachy and expect to annoy the other characters; this is often part of the story.
I never feel that I should sympathize or identify with Gyno-Star’s targets, and I am continually entertained by their discomfiture.
Your comment, on the other hand, is equally preachy, and contains no entertainment value whatsoever.
There’s a difference between being political and being preachy.
When you’re preached to, it’s delivered as a sermon; you’re given ideas you’re supposed to absorb, and nothing is given to you to demonstrate that those ideas are true, be it a good argument or (something a lot of people in politics lack) any evidence.
This comic is the equivalent of saying “you bad, I beat you up”, in lieu of some reason… any reason… to believe anything it says is true.
It’s true. My biggest complaint, when reading comics, is that they never lay all the evidence out there. Like, when I read Questionable Content? Never once does Jacques lay out the foundational principles of the technological advances by which artificial intelligences gain sentience. Never once! It’s almost as if it’s intended to be a source of entertainment, rather than a thesis, and I think that’s a rather serious failing.
I’m not worthy to be in the same forum. ROTFL
If you don’t know why sexism is bad, then you are just too dumb to live. Seriously. The info is out there. It takes a lot of effort to not have heard why being a shitty arsehole that oppresses women makes you deserve a beating.
It is like demanding that someone explain to you why, like, eating shit might be unhealthy.
I would enjoy seeing a strip where that last thing happens.
lol like anyone gives a shit who you’re voting for
(It means you’re failing to convince anyone, sweetheart, which I THINK may have been the focus of the comic to begin with)
Also, I can’t help but ask myself… “is the codpiece on the right panel anatomically correct?”
If so, that’s one hell of a hang.
I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything, dear. Least of all you. But this does make me wonder, honey, why you’d read a comic with the tagline “fighting the forces of evil and male chauvinism” and then balk when it turns out to be “preachy.” I’m getting the sense you don’t understand the parameters of this exercise, kiddo.
That’s what I was trying to get at in response to Sartr above.
Imagine looking at a comic depicting white nationalists as literal pieces of shit and being like “well this is just too preachy” lol
I’ve been thinking about this since Sartr and Macker started whining, and I’ve decided what I like about this strip. The topicality of the stories and references is an exact match for that of Pogo Possum, by the late great Walt Kelly.
Well that’s a very flattering comparison. 🙂
That is a waste of a perfectly good boot.
I wondered why I hadn’t seen this – I guess ’cause it never posted on Patreon.
Oh sorry!
Of course, Trump hasn’t birthed* little shitlers do much as emboldened a shit-ton of shitlers that were already there. Maybe a few generally angry people have been converted to shitlerism along the way, but the frightening thing, to me, was how easily so many people have got on board with his lies and hate.
That’s because Trump is the end result of the last half-century or so of Republican strategy. Pre-Trump it was just dog whistles and innuendo, but now they’re feeling like it’s okay to be more blatant about it.
Well, now that the boot is already ruined, she can apply it to kicking Shitler Prime without further consequence…
But the rest of her outfit! D: It might ruin that!
No, she can’t get too close. That’s what defeated the other so-called superheroes. The thing simply absorbed them.
So, are we going to have to wait until November 9th to find out who wins this fight?
Nobody except the dry cleaners and super hero costumers will win, oh and the lawyers but they always win.
Hmm, Forrest Gump reference, yes?
yep, depicting shit would be very appropriate for a comic like this, since this “comic” is shit. keep up the good work of depicting your obnoxious shit. I’m sure all your 2 dozen hate-mongering fans will love it.
Dude. You’re the one acting like a “hate-monger”. If you’re literally defending a racist,sexist and rapist asshole who has hurt young girls then you don’t belong here.
The misappropriation of “hate-mongering” is the empty center of this comment’s dull geode of laziness.
Sheldon,
Your comment is an archetype of a comment a ‘dick-head’ would make. I hope that you made a mistake.
My, how deplorable.
Well, look on the bright side Rebecca. At least you’ll have a lot of material for the next four years!
…that’s…not a bright side at all is it? Just thought that one through. :/
So, it was defeated, right?
No, we were defeated. They elected Trump.
Enjoy the next four years under Trump, guys. We have YOU thank for it, for boosting a sociopathic rape apologist and a man who has no grasp of economics as your only options for the Democratic party, rather than someone acceptable.
And by all means… keep baselessly accusing him, and his supporters, of being racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/xenophobic/Islamophobic/arachnophobic/claustrophobic… it’ll only ensure we extend the Trumpenreich from four years to eight. 🙂
Once again, thank you all, and keep up the good work!
Hillary has received roughly the same number of votes that Obama did in 2012. Let’s stop with the pretending that she was somehow unelectable or that people didn’t want her. She got 2.5 million more votes that Trump. If you want to blame something, blame the Electoral College.
And it’s pretty funny that you call Hillary a rape apologist given how many times Trump has boasted about assaulting women.
Rebecca, sorry if this has been answered before, but will you continue this story?
I don’t know if you are involved with other projects, or took a sabatical or anything, just would like to know if we will see the end of this plot.
Thanks!
Yes, I’ll be continuing with this story soon. Sorry for disappearing on you all with no explanation. I’ll post a quick blog update to let folks know what’s going on.
Thanks!
Can’t wait to see how this plot will unfold.
Just finished reading the archives.
Loved it! Good work! 😀
Thanks!
