Dated a girl for a short time, and this is why. Typical conversation:
Me: Wow, she is really smart!
Her: Why would you say that about her? You don’t say it about all smart people, so what makes you say it about her? Is it because you didn’t expect to say it about her, because of her race, or gender? Huh? Fascist!
In my experience, most people who throw around the word “facist” know a bit more about it than people who throw around the word “communist” or “socialist”. But since the latter know nothing about their word, it is a low bar to clear.
Excellent idea, brilliantly executed. And while I’m a trifle sad Mahnarch’s “Spaztsnaz” (hee hee hee) didn’t make it into this comic, “offenderobics” more than made good on that.
Discussion (20) ¬
Is Miss Construe friends with Miss Interpret?
Of course, and they both gossip behind the backs of Miss Understand and Miss Remember.
And WHAT. pray tell, do you mean by THAT!!?!
(he said in mock outrage)
Oh man, I know people like that. It’s exhausting being around them! So I try not to be . . .
Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose from “To Kill A Mockingbird”:
“Don’t you say ‘Hey’ to me you ugly girl.”
To be fair, a child saying “Hey” to an adult in the 1930s south would be pretty informal/insulting.
Put the monocle back in? Back in what ? Eww…
All four panels… pure genius!
I second that! And I know because it describes my husband perfectly! (sigh!)

**why I dumped her. Stupid editing first thing in the morning.
Man, I had a similar ex.
Me to new lady: “Hi. Nice to meet you.”
Then girlfriend: “Why did you say that?! Are you trying to sleep with her?!”
“fascist”
“fascist”
did she even know what that word means

Nice! I was looking forward to today’s strip after yesterday in the comments section.
Excellent idea, brilliantly executed. And while I’m a trifle sad Mahnarch’s “Spaztsnaz” (hee hee hee) didn’t make it into this comic, “offenderobics” more than made good on that.
Yeah! Who dropped the ball on that? 😀
