Take the boys-club crap of the video game internet, put it
in a time machine and… you get a funny/sad comic that might just make it a bit
more clear just how awful it is for the women who suffer the harassment of
unenlightened dudes.
By setting this strip in the early 20th Century,
cartoonist Shaenon K. Garrity subversively drives home just how
outdated the attitudes behind sexual harassment and hostility are. I
chuckled at the sly Yellow Kid cosplay and Nintendo Playing Card Co. jokes in the
background and winced at references to recent headlines. But, mostly I was struck by the loneliness
the protagonist must feel at not being able to really enjoy a thing she loves.
