It’s Sexy Tuesday

Just because Halloween is over (and the mythical sexy ____ costumes overrunning our once-proud streets fade into the background) for another year doesn’t mean that things can’t still be sexy around here. Let’s sex this place up with sexy sexiness.

  • From the sexy twitters of the very sexy Sylvan Migdal:

    Hey! This month, all proceeds from Curvy books go to Planned Parenthood. Sexy comics for reproductive rights & health! c.urvy.org

    Curvy, for those of you not in the know, is probably not safe for your work, unless you work on Oglaf or Chester 5000 for your day job, in which case you have won this game we call life. Much respect to Migdal for recognizing that sexy times have consequences, and being prepared for them makes everything sexier.

  • Nothing is more sexy than the modern power grid¹, which makes so much else that is sexy possible — and word comes to us this morning that Eastworks, site of TopatoCo, Dumbrella & NEWW, is again part of the early-to-mid 20th century. Internet is still out in that part of Massachusetts, so merch orders are not going out just yet, but the crack staff of TopatoCo can at least stare lovingly at all that stuff that they know somebody wants. Maybe they’ll give it a hug! We also hear that various residents of that corner of Webcomikia are getting their electric back, leading to a 100% improvement in mood, core body temperature, and shower-assisted cleanliness. Hooray for Science!
  • Speaking of Science — sexy Science — the new two-volume Narbonic omnibus edition is in Shaenon Garrity’s hands and shipping to those that helped Kickstart it into existence. There will be a book release party at Borderlands Books in San Francisco from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Saturday, November 19; Garrity is on record as promising cupcakes and wine, presumably from a box.
  • Finally, it appears that nobody spent their All Hallow’s Eve dressed as Sexy James Madison, but that’s okay — yesterday saw the release of the Kate Beaton interview at The Sound of Young America, and Jesse Thorn wasn’t about to let that conversation go by without a discussion of the Strong Female Characters². Remember — sexism is over, not sexiness! Different things.

¹ The only exception to this is Rich Stevens, who is the Platonic Ideal of sexiness.

² Alas, the pure, unbridled sexiness of beach volleyball didn’t seem to come up. Maybe next time.
