[0603] Puff

- Husband: What’s up, honey? You’re looking worried.
- Dorothy Cambridge: Oh, it’s nothing. I just had a talk with the mother of one of my male students.
- Dorothy Cambridge: She made some bizarre threats, but that’s about it.
- Husband: Don’t let the haters get you down!
- Dorothy Cambridge: Now I’m in the right mood to finish my blog post about how gender equality can only be achieved by castrating all boys and drilling a hole into them.
- Husband: Go ahead!
- Dorothy Cambridge: Hmm, where’s my laptop?
- Husband: Honey, shall I make you a sandwich?

You’ll be making sandwiches for yourself from now on, Mr. Duck Slippers.
What?! She has a boyfriend/husband?! And one who literally just said go ahead to writing a blog post about castrating males and having holes drilled into them? I have no words.
And that’s the last anyone ever heard of her. Thank God.
So… did she already “fix” her husband?
I’ll probably hate myself later for this, but i think this situation calls for it:
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up – sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She’s gone where the goblins go,
Below – below – below. Yo-ho, let’s open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong’ the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!
Just as Ye Thuza said. *Puff* and she was gone, leaving only a laptop and a half-finished blog post.
@ BarashinMokushi:
The wicked witch was a more believable and sympathetic character (not even counting “Wicked”).
Announer: And this year’s winner of the “Mother of the Year” award goes to – drumroll, please – YE THUZA!
@ Petah-Petah:
My guess is he’s trans.
…Oliver, did you mistake a parody of SJWs for the real deal?…
The “Puff” is nicely understated in the comic itself. Ye Thuza works silent and efficient. 🙂
Oh wow, third panel, I suggested this to a feminist once when I decided to troll one of the stupider more elitist members of the specific movement I was watching and she took it as a serious suggestion of how to treat all male. I am so glad this insane, “womyn”, didn’t suggest the rape, castration and murder of all male new borns. Like I did when trolling that dumb feminist who actually exists and completely agreed without a hint of irony.
The whole time I got the feeling that she resented me for somehow “raping” her.
And with that, she suddenly vanished off the face of the Earth and was never seen again. 😉
@ Threadnaught:
I had an Anthropology prof my freshman year at college who would take off points whenever we wrote “woman” or “women” on any of our papers. She was adamant that we spell it “womyn”.
Well, that’s the end of that.
When this started, my feeling was that if this was pulled off well, it could be a really positive message for feminism, and help disillusion people who think extremists are the norm. I don’t think this was accomplished, but it wasn’t too bad.
At the same time, I worry about the people who were claiming this is a strawman. I don’t think it is, because that would mean Novil is misrepresenting feminists to people with the purpose of trying to convince people feminism is bad. I don’t think he’s saying that – I think he’s misrepresenting feminists to show an extreme, and say “hey, this extreme is terrible”. I don’t think the non-extreme part I was hoping would contrast the extreme was played out very much, which I thought contributed to the misunderstanding. I feel Ye Thuza should have talked more about the true values of feminism and spent less time being as amusing and threatening as possible.
I’m still going to read S&W, and I still like the comic. This was good for a few laughs, but the hate and anger it spawned might not be worth it, especially when I think it could be avoided. Something to consider, I guess.

What I’m more surprised about is: The husband looks surprisingly… normal.
Thank god for Ye Thuza! ^.^
*checks inventory* Uhh… Why am I lacking a set of teleport cubes?
@ r2d2go:
There has been a story about a diabetic being denied Insulin, a lesbian’s coming out party and a Christian from the Crusades era.
A misandrist who wants nothing less than the complete extermination of the other gender is just another bit of drama to highlight some stupid policy between gags and plot.
@ Arent:
I agree, he has a fairly awesome beard. I would have thought the powers of the beard would have influenced him to have better choice in relationships.
And so we see another example of evolution in action. Some silly billies check the gas tank with a match, some balance the TV on the edge of the tub, and some ignore Ye Thuza’s gentle and subtle warning to leave the country.
Typical that a militant feminist would be enabled by what the manosphere bloggers refer to as a mangina, a male feminist sympathizer.
Bad enough that some women think that all men are scum, except for the guys they’re sleeping with or gave birth to, and want all other women to think the same. But that there are men who agree with them?
@ GenericGuestName:
You should have smacked her over the head with a dictionary, I know I would have.
Duh duh duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh!
Well this is getting interesting. Caaaaant wait until Monday to see what happens next.
Ye Thuza does not make threats. She keeps promises.
@ BarashinMokushi:
As leader of the class-room caucus,
in the best school in the whole wide town,
I welcome you most regally.
*reads panel 6*
Yes!! You are a god among men* Oliver Knorzer!!
*And Womyn 😉
@ Luke:
The theory I’m going with is that he never listens to her and just says “go ahead”, “you do that”, *nod* and “sounds good” 🙂
Dorothy: “All me should be castrated…except you dear, you’re not a man to me.”
@ I’ll Eat Yourself:
*men
She went to use her laptop there was a puff sound on the other side of the door and after that no one ever seen her again. Even after five minutes everyone looking for her everyone give up and said why are we looking for a boy hating bitch again….?
@ I’ll Eat Yourself:
What makes you think he isn’t already a Drone?
She has someone to call her “honey”?
Well, I guess that means “she will be missed”
…by exactly 1 person
Dark…
Ab>@ Frank:
Are you sure?
Well, she was given a fair warning. She was given a chance to back off of her own free will. She has only herself to blame. And even if the police investigated her disappearance, the only one who actually committed any crimes was her.
You’d think – pray even – that Cambridge’s crack about her blog post was too demented to ever be suggested as anything but parody. Sadly I’ve seen proof positive otherwise. Weep for humanity.
And it ends in kidnapping/murder…….remind me who the crazy one was?
@ r2d2go:
I’m not sure if this counts as a strawman. On one hand, strawman arguments feature a ‘villain’ who is the exaggerated personification of an opinion the author does not agree with. On the other hand, I’m under the impression that the creators of these comics are feminists. Making a strawman argument against someone who (poorly) represents your own ideals seems contradictory. I wonder if this plot is over yet.
They may have been trying to show the problems with female chauvinism, which more accurately describes this sexist woman. If Cambridge were truly “feminist,” she’d want men and women to have EQUAL rights, which should probably include the right to not have your genitals mutilated like she’s suggesting here.
@ r2d2go:
All I have to say in regards to that is:
It ain’t over yet. I’m holding out hope.
@ Chaos Inc.:
You too? I missing my Anti-matter garbage disposal…
This could all be prep work for another arc about misogynistic men. Though I would not be looking forward to that storyline.
So true its more depressing than funny, but still funny.
Uh… Switchblade?
I creeped myself out today…
When I first read this strip I actually had a fit of maniacal laughter…
I need to meditate…
People like this don’t get that that would end reproduction and cause instant extinction. Perhaps the dinosaurs got her SO CALLED idea of “equality”.
That did sound to me like air rushing into a vacuum.
@ Peridotdreams:
She’ll have no idea what you mean.
No one knows what happened.

E-mail me for a copy of it. Be warned, though.
I am proud of the trust that people place in me. I will not attempt to violate it.
I believe in truth in advertising. If you have any problems, notify the police. I will cooperate, or whatever… Not very educated in the legal matters or whatever…
Well, that escalated quickly…
@ NixieSeal:
No, she is not a straw man at all. As you pointed out (and as anyone who reads and understands the comic should be well aware), this comic has strong female characters and positive feminist themes. The idea that the author is attacking feminism via a straw man character is absurd.
What the character IS is a mockery of extreme elements on the fringe of the feminist movement; elements, I might add, which cause the movement a great deal of harm.
@ Luke:
I do Its called being a bitch/broken man. its a sad epidemic that is sweeping the land
