The new post is up at Romanceville!



The story takes us deep into the 1960's, when big tits reigned supreme and if you didn't have a big hair dome you might as well be dead.

Today I went through the boxes that house my paper collection, on the hunt for several really weird comics that I've never scanned before. When I moved it was such a rush that I had to just pile my paper collection up and hope it all ended up in the same zip code, so I had my romance collection scattered over several different boxes and in between my modern comics or my magazines.

I was searching for one comic in particular, it's a mega-sized DC issue that has about 10 stories. In the story I am going to scan the heroine is (unfairly) accused of being a lesbian. It's not even subtle or veiled, the cover touts it as "The story they dared us to print!" and it shows a girl talking to a boy while she points to a second girl, saying "Oh, don't bother with her, she doesn't like boys. If you know what I mean." So that's pretty blatant. Of course you read it hoping the girl's a lesbian, and when it turns out that she's just a tomboy it's kind of disappointing. Even if it was controversial to even hint at the idea of lesbianism in the 70's it's just not enough. It makes you want to blank out the dialogue and fix the story.

My internet is so slow today, it's ridiculous. I shall blame the rain.
