Repairing a Sexist Cartoon
The webcomic “Least I Could Do” posted this amazingly sexist cartoon today:
(It was too wide to fit onto a regular blog, so I reformatted it a bit.)
Emmy Cicierega suggested that people try repairing the cartoon with some strategic relettering, and posted a version with oddly tweaked art and blank balloons.
Eat, Drink and Be Scary added words to Emmy’s version, which you can read here.
Maxwell Pacheco posted his own version, here.
And here’s my version (using the original art, not Emmy’s version, because the shrunken head in Emmy’s version freaked me out!)
And finally, in case any of y’all want to get in on the act, here’s a blank version, formatted so it’ll fit onto blogs.
Or just leave your ideas in the comments. 🙂
Edited to add: Check out this one, too.

Hrm… I think I have to go with Pacheco’s as most humorous. ED&BS was just kind of bash-y and yours was a bit too… I heard it in a British accent, somehow, cute, not so funny.
Totally agree on the shrunken heads, though. -g- You should link these for Blind Ferret, they would likely consider it entertaining as well.

Yours is the most philosophical (which is good) and Pacheco’s is the funniest.
But don’t stop there! You should re-feminise other ones too.

You? Awesome.
You? Awesome.
Thanks, Lupa!
Alyxe and Alain, I’ve gotta agree, Pacheco’s is the one that made me laugh out loud.
Alain, I’m flattered you want more, but I think I’ll spend the time doing more Hereville instead. 🙂
I just now read Avram’s, and it’s pretty darn funny too.
