cartoon controversy
I am a British expat. living in Canada, and I have a daughter who was reprimanded by her Art teacher for drawing the comic I have posted below. I was just wondering if the same cartoon would be deemed offensive by Americans...are Canadians prudish?

Re: cartoon controversy
I wonder if the reprimand would apply if the guy had light hair and a smaller nose? In the old Nazi propaganda, the assailant has Jewish "racial" characteristics while in today's climate he looks Middle Eastern.
Also, many feminists object to the idea that PMS might affect their thinking. Others I know say they are aware of it and compensate just fine. Other than that, I am making no comment.

Re: cartoon controversy
Wait a minute.. what is the dealio? The OP has posted this around the net under the same user name and has been doing so since at least 2004??
He also says he's a guy.
And admits he was copying the style of Asterix.
Why is the internet so full of freaks.
Hi, I'm forty and have a daughter of 17 who is obsessed with a strange cartoon that she drew about a year ago. I know this sounds crazy but I'm very concerned. She has made hundreds of copies of it, e-mailed it everywhere... her room is littered with this one image...I have tried asking her what it means but she dismisses my concern, saying, "it's just a comic, mom!". I have no idea what it means to her...I find it disconcerting...any opinions would be welcomed. I have posted her picture below.
....I really worry about her...I mean, she has photocopied so many of the same picture. More than, I'd say, 50 that know of ,just on our home printer. I know she likes showing it to guys I wonder if it's a sexual thing? Maybe I'm reaching
Reaching? Maybe not.

Re: cartoon controversy
I'll second that. What a very, very odd thing.
I wonder if the image is hosted somewhere where they're harvesting IP addresses, or some such? EDIT: No, it's hosted on Photobucket.
As meauxna says, the net is full of real freaks!

Re: cartoon controversy
Agree with other comments, this is a weird one. OP looks like he/she has been doing this all over the internet. So I'm closing this thread and banning OP.
