Kat can't touch on everything, hon.

He's working his fingers to the bone as is.

Yes. Most crossdressers are straight. I've heard figures between 60% and 85% of all crossdressers are straight.

Well, anyway, I know a transexual. Her name is Eric (she goes by Lola). Actually, I just kinda met her and talked with her a little (when I figured she was just your average guy), and then she pronounced herself a transexual at a diveristy meeting and the CommonGround (Gay/Straight alliance) meeting. Fun.

It's not an easy thing. Sure, it's easy to put on the clothes, but not to say this is how you identify yourself. It isn't even about the clothes!

...And I love the look on Dee's face in the last panel. That's definately my favourite thing in KnK ever. Ever ever ever.

And deservedly so! Squinx is being a real prick! I'd be pissed off too, if confronted by that kind of behaviour.

Thank you! I was trying to figure out how to say that without offending someone. =(

We're being a bit to much nit picky here... Just settle back and enjoy the story...

I loved that too. Kat knocks me out with the way he makes characters
'live' on the comic page. (which is what all good cartoonists do) ^_^

Huh? That's not Squinx being a prick, that's Dee getting bitchy! As if
there were some inherant reason why a guy can't eat a big boinkberry
if he wants to? She's acting like she's entitled to it! "Excuse me,
that's a pink boinkberry and it therefore belongs to me. Hand it over."
I'd get a litle sarcastic, too if that happened to me...

....er, that actually WAS Squinx being a dick.

In the very first days of the comic, it specified that pink boinkberries have contraceptive qualities for females. Not 'boinkberries.' PINK boinkberries.

Now, that's not to say that a guy can't take them, or that it even says anything about his gender preference. But to take the very last one when there's a woman who legitimately needs it? That's dickery.

Ummmm... nope, not quite. I thought that for a second, too - then it
hit me (and I think that's something that Kat is sneaking in on us too in
this story) and that's the fact that any and all pink boinkberries
will provide the contraceptive capability. Only the big boinkberries have
both the contraceptive aspect AND the "cosmic orgasm" potential. If
Dee needed one of the big pink ones to prevent pregnancy, then yeah,
Squinx would be in the wrong. But she doesn't... the ordinary berries
are all over the place. So if Squinx chose a big pink one (and brought
his partner Snowicet a big blue one) then it's pretty obvious what's up.
His choice is just as valid as Dee's, since she doesn't have "dibs" on
the big pink ones because of any contraceptive need. She just got to
the big boinkberry bush late. Sorry lady...

But what just struck me is... Dee's personality (from the comic so far)
has been more the surreptitious, cloistered yiffy personality. She and
Vic Timm only yiff in private and (seemingly) apologetically. Does the
fact that she's actually trying to get ahold of a big boinkberry means
that she's changing her way of thinking? ^_^

*shrug* Who is she? A lurker about to become a nonlurker, same as
the rest of us. Go for it! Any bat time, any bat station you like!

that any and all pink boinkberries
will provide the contraceptive capability.

But if you take a pink for the contraception and a blue for the cosmic orgasm, you're crossing the streams. And Bad things happen.

....wait, that was ghostbusters.

I'd like to think so. I felt sorry for her, poor neurotic little thing.

Any bat time, any bat station you like!

Probably this one. The Nip and Tuck forums are getting political again. (It's the cycle of life.)

I honestly don't think he was being rude and a dick. I mean there is probaly a good reason why he took the pink one, and we'll find out why.

As for his reaction to "But you're a male" Phht common you don't mean to tell me you wouldn't be the teeniest of sarcastic to that question?

Heck, I've done worse! (which involved my human SilverCougar breasts and the rubbing of a gay male's face in them for saying "But you're a female!" And he accually thought it was.. fun.. ) and no one called me a bitch over it.

Phht common you don't mean to tell me you wouldn't be the teeniest of sarcastic to that question?

Not with someone like Dee-- who obviously doesn't know that Pink Isn't Just For Girls. And he knows she doesn't know, or he wouldn't be about to exposite for us.

And... you know, if you'd rubbed your tits in my face? I'da called you a bitch. Just saying.

It's her own damned problem.. so *shrugs* tcha. Then again, getting worked up over comic charicters is kinda..

And if you called me a bitch, I'd thank you. Because really.. I am. And I'm proud of it. You tell me something that's a "no duh" You'll get what I feel like giving you in reply. I'm still thinking of making "Captain Obvious" badges to hand out...

1: Both pink and blue boinkberries have contraceptive properties, only that the contraceptive properties differ, and appropriately for the gender. They do have different flavours, though. How they react in a gay coupling, I think is what we're gonna see in this story.

2: She may be a bitch, but Squinx's remark was an uncalled-for smartass remark, and it had nothing to do with the pink boinkberry itself.

3: If I bounce my b(.)(.)bies around, I do so not to be rude at someone, but just in the spirit of fun...and with full consent that it's not going to offend someone who is gay or straight. (Most gay males are NOT mysogynists, although there are alot who think they have to be, even within the gay community.) ...but then, that's just me. I like being a clown at spirit, because I want others to have fun.

My take on this: I think Squinx was needlessly ill-mannered. It doesn't appear that Dee (that is the name of the female in question, right?) was being overly forceful, more along the lines of thinking perhaps he didn't realize he had a pink berry or was unaware that they are typically used by females. Of course, perhaps Squinx gets asked that a lot and is tired of answering. Still, I can see someone getting confused.

For my 2

I'm just hoping Snowicet turns out to be related to Nivlek somehow. It's very possible, right?

Squinx is a wiseguy. What species is he? I thought he was a cat when I first saw him.

Well, both Dee and Squinx aren't too offensive. both confused about the state of the other.

it isn't until the painfully obvious is mentioned...

Oh hey, this topic heated up!

I agree that Squinx is being a bit rude. Not atrociously so, but a bit more snippy than strictly called for.... I think the word is "insensitive".

Nobody really *needs* a Cosmic Orgasm (hey, we totally need to invent a drink called that), so nobody has an inherent right to one. I'm rooting for the boys, but I'm biased. Hmmm, cute gay toon couple or mildly stuck-up female..... um...... gee...

I'm betting a Cosmic Orgasm from two males will be gloriously.... what's the word here... splurty.

And speaking of two males, and two toonie-furs in general... what happens if one partner takes a Big Boinkberry, and the other takes just a regular one? One gets the Cosmic O, and the other just a little o? Bummer! That could cause relationship problems.

And of course, there's the issue of "what happens if you split a Boinkberry?". Half a Cosmic O?

These questions, and so much more, from Fruvous, that Fox Who Thinks Way Too Much.

Splitting boinkberries...anything like splitting atoms? *hide*

Meh... I dunno.. guess because I'm cynical and sarcastic and such myself... I don't think his comment was out of line. X)

Though really now, we'll see why he took the pink one...

Because he wants to find out how deep the leopardhole goes?
