I read this theory as to why we haven’t been contacted by, or found evidence of, alien civilizations in TIME magazine and gotta admit it scared the hell outta me with it’s perfect plausibility.  But how to fit this cumbersome idea into a cartoon?!?  I know, dude-on-dude action!                                                                              Pride this weekend in Vancouver, and after seven years in the city, I can see it getting bigger - like the city’s reputation - year by year.I decided to expose myself (no, not in that way) and the comic as best I could to the crowds. I bought a marching band jacket, removed the crest, and had “Don’t Believe the Hype” and the web address stitched on it, then picketed the parade with a “Oppress Your Oppressors” sign. Alas, people were just confused. My lack of marketing savvy made people wonder if I was just the gay community’s version of the crazy cat lady…If you were lured to this site because you were curious what the hell I was going on about at the parade, please let me know. It’ll be good t’know I didn’t make a total freak outta myself for no reason…The boys are singing “Woodstock”, by Joni Mitchell, who’s hiding somewhere in the cartoon…
