    Alex emerges from a portal in 1970s Japan and reaches out to a man in military uniform. She cries out "Yukio Mishima! I'm from the future. Before you attempt this coup, there's something I think you should see." She holds up an Ipad that displays the title screen for The Amazing Digital Circus. They watch together and Yukio Mishima says "God, I'm just like Jax." He falls on to Alex, weeping and holding her closely. Alex comforts him.

    Alex notices a Trans Woman across the street and thinks to herself "Egad! Another Trans woman in the wild!" She takes a bow-legged crouching stancing and puts her index and middle fingers to her forehead a la Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon. She think to herself "I shall psychically communicate solidarity with her." The other woman notices Alex from across the street and thinks to herself "hey, it's that bitch from the internet I hate."

    Lmao I can't believe this caused a controversy amongst Libsky. That's what I get for having any sort of opinion.

    Photo of a page from the July issue of In These Times, depicting a six-panel comic from Haus of Decline.

I can’t afford to feed my family!” Panel 3: BQ replies, “That’s ludicrous. The stock market is at an all-time high” Panel 4: The woman says “But groceries are—“ but BQ cheerfully interjects, “You shouldn’t make statements if you don’t have economic literacy!” Panel 5: BQ holds up a chart with a line rocketing upward, saying “Here’s a chart explaining why your fears are unfounded” Panel 6: A boy asks the woman, “What are we having for dinner tonight?” The woman dejectedly stirs a pot with the chart in it. “Chart,” she replies.

    A man angrily shouts "GOON!" while brandishing his fist. Another shouts "NOFAP" in opposition. They both start beating the Hell out of each other. Their battle is interrupted by an awe-inspiring light. They yield to angelic figure that descends from the heavens with the text "masturbating a normal amount" emblazoned above its head.

    A woman holds a nightcap and candle and says to her partner "OK I have the nightcap and candle." She leans in erotically and says "I'm ready to do an all-time "who goes there?" Wearing the nightcap and holding the candle in front of her face, she walks into a stone-brick lined room, steeped with shadows and says "who goes there?" Her partner embraces her affectionately and says "God, I'm so glad I met you on the "who goes there?" forums."

    A dark-haired woman asks "are we in a typical lesbian relationship?" to her brown-haired girlfriend. The brown-haired woman, extracting a green shirt from her dresser counters "pfft, what even IS a typical lesbian relationship." The first woman puts on her glasses while saying "yeah, you're right... there's no such thing." Now both fully dressed, it is revealed that they look exactly like Marcy and Peppermint Patty.

I keep telling you, Solid Snake isn't real." Henry walks off with his friend and says "yeah, you're right." Inside the box, Solid Snake thinks to himself "That was too close..."

    A man says "I'm glad we're on the top layer of this infinite recursion." Another man says "yeah, that means we're the original version of the guys in the picture." They are staring at a picture of themselves having this exchange, who are in turn staring at a smaller picture of them having this exchange, who are in turn staring at an even smaller picture of them having this exchange ad infinitum.

    A trans woman with glasses laments "Sometimes I feel like I'm giving up a lot by transitioning. Like.. will I ever truly feel like "The Boys are Back in Town" again?" Her friend reassures her by saying "Of course Margaret! The boys being back in town has nothing to do with gender. It has more to do with the boys being back in town."

    This is less about being anti data analysis and more about the way that the flippant attitudes of the people who deliver their analyses can be broadly alienating to people with qualitative experiences that don't match their findings. Their desire is to scold and feel superior, not to educate.

    A man in a suit smoking a cigar says "we need a way to change the minds of young men about gender minorities." Another man in a suit holding a glass of whiskey posits "what about some sort of pro-trans lad magazine?" The first man looks inspired. They have produced their magazine entitled "The Ethical Chaser" which features a well put-together man on the cover with articles like "Torso Pics: Do's and Don'ts," How to flirt beyond 'hi' and 'ur so sexy,'" and the wines of New Jersey. Tearfully, one of the men states "we are going to change the fucking world."

    I am not made for Capitalism. Every relationship I have feels cheapened and dehumanized by the exchange of money. Everything becomes a hollow experience because it is meted out by an arbitrary quantification of worth. It makes me feel as if the only true emotion or relational value is exploitation

    A trans woman asks another trans woman "why do our conversations always descend into tranny Seinfeld bits?" The other trans woman says "that reminds me, I got politely "they"-ed yesterday." The first one replies "They gave you the polite "They." In Costanza-like fashion the second one says "they gave me the polite "they!"

    A man points out an anvil on a pedestal and says "It's an anvil! Just like in the cartoons!" His friend, saying "whoops" knocks the anvil off the pedestal on to the man's head. The man, now with a bulbous contusion with an x-shaped bandage on it says "hey I didn't die." He looks up at his friend and asks "are we... real?: His friend looks worried.

    Babar removes his clothing and says "I reject the vestments of so-called civilized society. For too long I laboured under the shameful illusion that my natural state was somehow inadequate." Other angry elephants gather around Babar as he announces "for I am not, Babar, King of the Men!" His face intensifies and he shouts "I AM BABAR, KING OF THE ELEPHANTS!" Several elephants in outright rebellion against man's society start goring frenchmen, tossing them in the air and tearing off their hands.
