The “classic” gay/lesbian/trans panic is not queer people panicking, it’s a legal defense people who murdered LGBTQ people used to claim they were not in their right mind because finding out someone else was LGBTQ made them so scared they had no choice but to kill them. There still are trans panic laws on the books. It’s not a cute term.
You’re right, but also, the “queer person experiences one (1) romantic feeling and goes frantic and not sure what to do about it” idea is a common trope. What we need is a different term for it, one that doesn’t step on the term for a painful reality. I’ve seen and such, but that might still be too close.
Just wanted to let you know I binged this entire comic last week after seeing the tumblr post and I love it. You’re so good at setting up gags and it’s a really really good blend of serious action-adventure drama and intrigue and slapstick humor and gags.
With all the rumors of clowns going rogue, openly opposing the government over a single person getting fired is the surest way to have the whole corps being disbanded. As long as clowns exist, there can be good clowns. SQ is being the smartest she can be here. Also, it’s pretty evident this job was eating her, and she’s happy to retire, so good for her.
See, now I’m thinking Squeaky’s going to play a major role somewhere down the line…
I mean, he *is* the head of clown college.
I don’t know why his name escaped me like that. >.>
Ahhh yes. The classic lesbian panic.
Or. Maybe not. We’ll see.

We need a new phrase.
Thank you for not reading too deep into my joke, while also not defending me for my mistake.
need more stuff about livewire being gay as hell ASAP thank you.
if anesthesia has some pretty damn good advice in the next few pages, i’d be stoked!
… Have we heard Binky’s first name mentioned before this point?
I don’t think his last name is Binky
Manners, Binky! You can’t just tell a lady with ice powers that she’s being too cool like that.
Didn’t he also once tell a mime to “start talking” ?
You’re thinking of squeaky. (page chapter 4 page 9)

“What would you have me do? Scream and cry and make a big fuss?”
Uh… YEAH. Better than simply rolling over for some idiot politician! Geez SQ, I thought you were smart.

Exactly my man. Sq knows there’s nothing she can do rn. Just let the others take care of things for the moment.
step 1: talk to girls
So… Livewire has a crush on Fuchsia then? Or who is this about?
Livewire and McBell? I ship it.
