She's a public internet personality who goes by her real name and not a psuedonym, surely by now she's accustomed to some seriously creepy poo poo at least every once in a while.

edit: unless LF is waaaaay creepier than I remember, it was probably nothing for her.

The actual weird part is that goons will not stop apologizing for the time Kate Beaton posted for a day and got bored. This happens every loving time someone posts Kate Beaton and apparently several goons have apologized to her in person, and it's magnitudes of order more creepy than anything that actually happened when she posted on here.

Well I'm just now learning it was apparently not that bad, I only knew there was a bunch of that M-MARRY ME??? that sometimes happens when people discover a girl goon or whatever. I mean that poo poo would creep me out, personally.

I swear I've seen this conversation hundreds of times.

1. Something something Kate Beaton
2. Remember that thing that happened?
3. What thing?
4. Oh, did you not hear? Goons drove her off the site
5. :goonsay: Um, actually, Mrs Beaton is only bothered by the goons who weren't involved who apologise to her anyway. It's really creepy apparently (this is me)

Do we need to always post her cartoons with a disclaimer "I don't give a gently caress that she used to post here, talk about the drat cartoon"? Why bring it up when someone just posted a cartoon? Her cartoons are funny and cool, talk about the drat cartoon.

The only thing I want to know about Kate Beacon is when she draws another funny comic, so that I can read and enjoy it.

It might be good for having a thread rule that says "Shut up about that time she posted here for ten minutes," but people would forget the rule or fail to read it in the giant OP, so the cycle will occur each time.

Pretty sure the kid was like a stock character in Indian textbooks or something. Regardless, I've yet to see a single bad one of them. The one where he mixes up a batch of acid for his chemistry teacher is still my favorite.

Yeah, they're often a very fun read and are sometimes political. Don't let people who are obsessed with invented goon drama ruin the laughs.

Thanks for that, just last night I was thinking about the guy and struggling to remember his name. Searches for "comic where a straight-laced Indian kid gives his tax-burdened dad a joint" and the like weren't very productive.
