I have always found it strange how having kids is considered a milestone to achieve in life. I don't get it.

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

I mean, your life after and before cannot be compared, so it is a milestone

... wait, you're the actual Devil's Panties?

Hi! Someone's been posting your stuff here so I've been enjoying it though that. Thanks for the continued work!

Also, funny how things turn out, huh?

Just because I’m married with kids still doesn’t make that my life’s goal. Making impactful unifying art doesn’t stop because I’m a mom. I drew comics in the nursery while feeding my newborn at 3am. My priorities have not changed.

Sorry if this came out swinging. I’m very much a “you’re gonna have to pry the pencil out of my cold dead hand” mindset when it comes to comics or any question of doing comics.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 37 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, no worries, thanks for the quick correction and all the comics throughout the years

Ohhh, finally the original author came to the fedivers !

What is the stereotypical male life goal? I wanna use this against the guys in my life.

get married, have kids, buy/build a house, get a nice retirement plan and a gold watch, have a nice midlife crisis, eat a really nice steak that's too big for me and finish the whole thing (and this is the important part) while a bunch of people watch and maybe I win a t-shirt,

one of my personal ones is to eat one of everything to maintain my dominant position on the food chain, but that's just a lil bit of fun

Build a house, have a son, plant a tree.

Work 40+ hours and own a house, car, and wife.

I remember reading this comic back in the day. 19 years ago ..

[-] akilou@sh.itjust.works 21 points 11 hours ago

This comic from the 50s is really ahead of its time

[-] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

This wasn't the 50s, do the math! 2006 was 50 years ago

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 19 points 11 hours ago

Dude with eyebrow piercing, surprisingly conservative

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

If that was a Punisher t-shirt, I'd say I'd be much less surprised.

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

I don't think 2006 had it appropriated yet.
