Hate hate and more hate
Now THIS is timely! Those politically correct feminazis, wanting us to change everything from "policeman" to "fireman" to "history" (should be herstory, natch). Let's make fun of that trend! Did the P.C. folks go too far? Do womyn sit to pee? Is it still funny? No, it is not.
Besides, isn't the correct term "mail carrier"? I've never heard "postperson" in my life. Yes, "postman" I have heard of, but I think "mailman" is more typical. Does Fred Basset take place in the UK? Seriously . . . I don't follow it at all. Does he always think in such a fancy font?
While we're on the subject of politically correct, here are some "Politically Correct" cartoons. According to the home page, the are "political" and "correct" (i.e., conservative). The one currently on the home page equates hating Bush with hating soldiers. Hey . . . I hate Bush, so I guess I hate soldiers, which is weird because I have a handful of friends in Iraq, and I don't hate any of them. But, I guess actually I do. And I don't hate my husband, and he's in the reserves, but maybe I DO hate him? Thanks for setting me straight, conservative cartoon! Although, technically, I don't "hate" Bush. I've never even met him!
Hey, speaking of hate, poor Cathy has really been bashed in the last few days. The full entries are here, but let's see . . . she's died as the result of an infected face transplant, died providing sexual favors to Mr. Pinkley, been eaten by a shark, had her husband run off with her boss, been pulled from every U.S. newspaper, and. . . grown a nose "and suddenly realizes she stinks." HA! Poor Cathy . . .

fred basset is from the UK. a long time ago, i actually used to do the fancy lettering for it. like, in the late 80s, early 90s. i dont even remember much about it. but i used to work for a syndicate and often got to pick up jobs like that from time to time. cant believe this strip is still around, apparently it changed syndicates since i was involved with it. no, its not funny. but then, it isnt any less funny than Andy Capp.
This Fred Bassett strip is surely not meant to be a sharp rebuke of "feminazis." Fred Bassett is far, far blander than that. For a while I was under the impression that it meant to appeal to toddlers just learning to read.
In fact, let's try to be as bland as Fred Bassett in commenting on the strip. Oops. That would be ironic. By definition that would be less bland than Fred Bassett.
I didn't stand a chance.
