Don't be a douche

This comic is about being nice to transsexuals. I am acquainted with a trans woman and it boggles my mind as to why people refuse to use female pronouns to refer to her or call her by her preferred name. It just seems like a simple gesture such as calling someone their preferred name could make the lives of transsexuals much easier.

I am pretty sure I could request people call me Lord Tearlach the Mighty, start wearing a kilt and playing the bagpipes to get in touch with my Scottish heritage and get less flack than transsexuals get. I just don't understand it.

Also, fun fact, I chose Tracy in this comic because I was once on a chat room chatting with a girl named that. I hit on her for about forty five minutes before I learned Tracy was actually a (non trans) man. That's why I don't try to pick chicks up in chat rooms anymore.

Advice for the Incoming Congress

I make no secret in my political webcomics that I do not care for the Republican Party. Especially not the radical right wing faction of the party which has taken control of the GOP in recent years. So, to celebrate Republicans taking over congress, a comic criticizing their economic stance.

For all the conservative bluster about fiscal responsibility, they seem to have a poor understanding of how macroeconomics differs from drawing up a personal budget.
