Today's Questionable Content drove home to me that I am really starting to get tired of Hannelore.
Her first appearance had her as an world-smart take-no-prisoners kind of chick. I really liked that Hannelore. Now, 700 comics later, she's become a refugee from a children's TV show, constantly being scarred by all things rated PG and up. Show me more Faye/Sven, dammit! I like Faye's issues. They mutate and evolve. Hannelore just devolved and then got stuck.
Interesting read here. Casual sex is a topic on which there are a lot of assumptions made and conclusions leapt to, and on which a huge amount of frothing at the mouth is done (oh yes, I've done a fair amount of frothing on the subject myself). I think my opinions on that will be saved for the day that I bust out my stipulative definition of the word 'slut'. Next Monday! Be there or be quadrilateral.
In other news, Stephen Harper manned up and apologised for the boatload of Calcutta refugees that were denied entry to Vancouver in 1914. Unfortunately, his apology is
apparently insufficient. I have to admit, I don't really get why. The Sikh community of Surrey, BC is demanding that the apology be repeated in the House of Commons. From my (uninvolved, third-party) perspective, the fact that Harper went out of his way to go and make his apology where the spiritual/ideological descendants of our victims would actually have a chance to hear it says a lot. I also feel the need to point out that the average Canadian (who is apparently the target audience here, since the people to whom it was actually addressed were evidently inadequate to hear it) tends to ignore politicians unless they are speaking in public. I've tried to sit through the House of Commons broadcast feed. There is more entertainment to be found in watching linoleum peel. Very few people would be dedicated enough to hear that apology. It might not even make the news.
