i'm just going to leave this here

As part of lolAJ's ongoing exploration of questions like, "Are gay people funny?" I thought I'd impart you all with a cartoon recently penned by a friend of mine. I don't want to give too much backstory because I think it makes for pretty good standalone commentary on academic culture, but suffice to say the oeuvre depicts a real-life sociology of the body class gone wrong.

OK I lied, here is some more backstory. It would be remiss of me not to mention that the real-world gender presentation of this comic's villain was described to AJ as "ironic butch pirate/train conductor." Rock on, academia! \m/
