I wish I could claim all this social relevance makes it a great and stirring strip but it just feels ridiculous, with just about every line of dialogue from a female mouth being socially relevant and just about every line from a male mouth being proof of what creeps men are."<br /><br />Thank goodness modern comics are different.<br /><br />http://slaymonstrobot.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/spoiler-saturday-you-know-who-doesnt.htmlWarren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-28460473910615790692017-01-06T01:02:22.996+00:002017-01-06T01:02:22.996+00:00You didn't have an opinion of the twist ending...You didn't have an opinion of the twist ending on that last (half) page, Steve?<br />Suddenly things aren't so clear cut, and Diana's wimmins lib seems a bit bourgeois as we discover she's succeeded in putting a couple of hundred women - mainly black, it seems - out of work...<br /><br />Seemed like the whole point of the story to me, and an intriguing opening set up to a new direction.
