Comics strips for No Pants Day included LGBT propaganda

3 days ago, various newspaper strips celebrated No Pants Day, as noted by the Oregonian:
Fans of newspaper comics will instantly notice something missing in many of the strips this Friday — pants.

More than 25 cartoonists behind strips from “Blondie” to “Zippy the Pinhead” are celebrating the quirky holiday No Pants Day in a way that helps charities get clothing to those in need.

Participating artists are drawing their characters without trousers and urging readers to donate clothing to thrift and second-hand stores hard-hit by COVID-19.
That's fine in itself, but there was also the following:
Olive Brinker’s “Rae the Doe” has a character donating clothes at an LGBT center while “Dennis the Menace” urges readers: “Give to a charity that helps people in need of clothing, like Room to Grow.”
Oh for heaven's sake. As if we need to hear - or read - more of that nonsense that's taking up far too much in culture. That strip, if any, is certainly veering too political. Too bad. This could be a great venture for newspaper strips to offer up something apolitical, which a lot of people could surely appreciate for a change, and instead, Brinker proves a cartoonist out there can't keep herself from injecting more divisive ideology into hers.

Labels: , ,

The strip has been trans from the beginning; this is not a departure.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
