Powered Descent posted:And now I'm in that weird spot of being sad to hear that someone has died, even though it happened many years before I was even born. (Is there a word for that?) It goes in that same category of discovering from their obit a new artist or writer you end up loving. Like, "I'm glad we're both here now. I wish I had arrived sooner, and under different circumstances." Huxley fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Jan 19, 2022 |

A double dose of Dykes to Watch Out For for being incommunicado this past week. #149 and #150, both from 1992, both by Alison Bechdel.   Mo definitely knows who Clarice is, she's just being miserable on purpose. People huffing and rolling their eyes at bisexuals was also definitely a real thing in queer circles in the early 90s and in fact continued to be a thing well into the aughts and beyond, although obviously not to the extent that we see here. The actual term "LGBT" (without the plus or any other letters) debuted in the late 80s and begins to show up in conference minutes and activist literature around 1988. The 1993 March on Washington took place in April and boasted between 800,000 and 1,000,000 participants, building off of the success of the 1987 march to draw attention to ongoing queer issues such as the continued failure of the federal government to address the AIDS crisis and various laws enforcing hiring discrimination against LGBTQ+ Americans, as well as a rising tide of homophobic hate crimes. Here's a list of the march's primary agenda: quote:We demand passage of a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender civil rights bill and an end to discrimination by state and federal governments including the military; repeal of all sodomy laws and other laws that criminalize private sexual expression between consenting adults. You may notice the absence of the T in the flyer's "LGB"-- this isn't an oversight on Bechdel's part but a reflection of the March's planning committee; the inclusion of transgender people in official statements about the march as well as the event's formal title was proposed for the first time but did not get a 2/3 majority of votes. Next up-- a big can of worms I don't feel like getting into!   Bill Clinton won the 1992 presidential election, defeating George H.W. Bush and a host of third party candidates. He was indeed widely seen as an anti-right golden boy for the 90s, in a very uh, Thomas Friedman kind of way, because the early 90s were a huge froth of post-glasnost liberal enthusiasm in a lot of ways. He played saxophone on Arsenio Hall, and seemed to have spoken to a black person ever, so for a lot of moderate Democrats and even, as we see here, optimistic progressives, his victory seemed to herald a promising turning point for a country still meandering out from under the shadow of Reagan and the increasingly visible LGBTQ+ community. As we might know in 2022, Mo's reservations are not exactly her normal apocalyptic griping either. Don't ask me, I was six when this all went down.

Cobalt-60 posted:Was there really a backlash against against disco, besides the usual "this was popular, now it's lame"? The demolition night is always brought up, but that seems like it has more to do with cheap beer than any hate. And it seems to be an isolated incident. My impression of disco is that it's one of those things that just wound up horribly dated, like its cousin the leisure suit. I suggest reading up on Disco Demolion night. While the event itself was somewhat extraordinary, it was part of a larger cultural backlash in the late ‘70s against the increased visibility and prominence of gay, Latino and especially black culture. quote:Vince Lawrence, a then-teenaged usher at the event told NPR he was uncomfortable being one of the only Black people at the stadium, and remembered that fans were just bringing LPs by black artists: “[There were] Tyrone Davis records, friggin' Curtis Mayfield records and Otis Clay records. Records that were clearly not disco.” All those artists are black artists. Whatever the the intent, this was obviously not just about disco but also about simmering racial resentment. In many ways it heralded the upcoming reactionary wave of the Reagan era.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, it's been my pleasure to contribute to a thread I love. I looked it up and Jucika was introduced two years ago by Savidudeosoo posting a batch every Friday. They've moved on and I was happy to have an unclaimed strip I was passionate enough about to post daily. Jucika Daily was a good introduction for me back when the strip returned to the internet a few years ago and Jucika In Order is the source I've used since for posting in the thread. I'll be sharing some gems from Jucika Booru which is very NSFW as soon as you start searching but has lots of good fanart all the same. Feel free to enjoy all the Jucika you like at your own pace. Pusztai was a great cartoonist and did lots of work drawing public service posters and announcements, advertising and things like magazine covers so there's a good number of extras in his style.  "This one is enough for doll clothes. Take the rest to the MEH yard." The rest is helpful translator notes. Jucika's brother confirmed, more deep Jucika lore?   Important emojis for your day to day needs.

First of all thanks for posting Jucika, it's a great comic! Second, while there is some great art on here, I can see what people mean when they say that a lot of the fanart focuses too much on the sex part and not enough on the wholesome part.

The boat was out on the lake with women, children, and Vernon in it. Vernon rocked it as a prank. The large men did not take kindly to this, and are now forcing Vernon to rock it in the hot sun as punishment.
