Really, you don’t like it?
I think I saw it at tigtog’s, and over at Twisty’s board about six people were posting it simultaneously. I find it kind of gratifying.

I think it’s the third panel that spoils it – “hey I’m a niceguyliberaldood and I want hotliberalchick action – so I want you more obvious thugs to stop messing it for us smoothies”
A reaction I’ll call “Buffy tVS syndrome”, where something’s actually vaguely better than all the other misogynistic crap, but the underlying currents are still there.
Maybe an overly cynical interpretation though.

Maybe it turns on how one reads the phrase “likes nerdy girls.” Your intepretation makes sense, but one could also read it as I did (he thinks nerdy girls are human and is mad that they’re being harassed).
All in all, it would have been better if it had been Hothead Paisan.

I have been wanting to say that to someone for several days now but if I say it to my roommate, she will slap the dogshit out of me. Does anyone live in the boonies of Washington, N. Oregon or Idaho and want a roomie? I gotta get out of here.

The Ghost of Violet says:
and by the way, Ether Lord — please don’t be offended at Paul’s telling you to shut up. He’s insane, really, and also suffers from Tourette’s. Don’t take it personally.

Oh, I always begin with the assumption that someone is an insane child, until they prove otherwise.
