The Most Offensive Cartoon in the World


I originally wrote this one for the website in 2004, but when Critic's annual 'Offensive Issue' rolled around in 2005 (and I was writing for the actual magazine) I decided to submit this again, as I had with a few of the stronger website comics. 

The 2005 Offensive Issue ended up being banned due to a controversial article that allegedly offered a 'how-to' guide to date rape, which was intended to draw attention to the issue and alert readers to the different methods that may be used. It was kind of a big deal at the time, and I felt a weird sense of pride that one of my comics was now included in a banned publication (as mild as the actual strip was).

Looking at it now, I think this comic would work well as a live-action sketch, filled with unnecessary bleeping. Unnecessary bleeping is hilarious.
