Sure it does.

How common the term "hatiquette" is, I couldn't say, but Billingsley didn't just make it up.

Okay, yeah. I guess what I meant was that I wish it was more like "facts about the church crown" with like, historical background, and some more of the information in that wikipedia article. A Mark Trail Sunday Strip but about Black women's church hats. (You know, the kind of presentation a seven year old genius who has skipped four grades would make.) This kinda feels more like "Billingsley tells us that church hats are a thing. Here are some hats I drew."

I assume this is a reference to this old commercial.

Actually I guess it was a whole series of commercials, but I'm too lazy to watch more than one.

This is pretty much how cabins works. You think you're going to relax far from the hustle and bustle of the big city, but the grass have grown since the last time you were there (both on the roof and the ground), so has the trees, it needs some paint and in one extreme case that happened to my parents: a loving hurricane.

Even without Dustin around, his sister is such a hateful poo poo toward him.

Dustin's sister is the worst character in the comic. It's easy to hate Dustin's dad, but he at least has perfunctory vices and foibles that allow for lazy jokes. Dustin's sister has no real personality, no desires, and no purpose beyond making GBS threads on Dustin.

You'll see this sort of thing when an author has no idea how to write women but doesn't want to appear sexist. So they make every female character a superficially intelligent foil who does little more than remark on and criticize the male characters' stupid ideas or embarrassing quirks.

Compare this to another sexist comic: Axa may be naive and capricious and frequently helpless, and the writing is dumb, but at least she's allowed a range of emotions beyond sarcastic commentary about male characters.

Honestly, this is such a red flag for me.

How to write a woman: write a person, use she/her pronouns. If that's impossible for you, you're either a terrible writer, you don't see women as people, or both.
