Description
Ernie and his family, except the mom who I didn't feel like drawing lol. His sisters TOTALLY have him whipped. This is why he's so effeminate. A controlling dad? 3 girly sisters? Yyyup, that'll do it.Related content

I listened to an episode of This American Life today called "Sissies," about the lives of effeminate guys growing up. This totally reminds me of that.
Every panel of this is awesome. Especially the tickling panel.

I am, incidentally, a podcast junkie. (I gorge on them like a supermassive singularity.) This episode was wonderfully cute, especially the Dan Savage segment. Sissies are near and dear to my heart, in case that wasn't obvious

LoL Thanks for sending me that! XD haha thats exciting. Aw poor sissies XD
It's sad about the first story, because though the dad didn't agree with his son being gay, I can totally see his point of view too. He was just born in a different time, a different culture, where passing on the name really is the most important thing. It's really sad becuase he seemed to still really love his wife, but the passing on of the name was driving him to do something he didn't even want. I think I sympathize with those people the most. Nowadays gays aren't THAT repressed. Yes, they catch flack, and ja it still kinda sucks for them, but it almost seems that for people who -disagree- with it, they catch even more flack. It's like "oh, you're not FAIR, and you hate ALL GAYS and you're just CLOSE MINDED" I get -that- a lot, just because I have a differing opinion from the liberal standard D8
ANyway thanks for sharing that with me, it was awesome X3

Glad you enjoyed
Definitely agree with you on the first story. At a basic human level I sympathize with everyone in that family. (TAL is always so bittersweet...) It's easy to forget that with major controversies, the people on both sides are still PEOPLE. And like all people, they have their virtues, flaws, and complexities.
So... I'll certainly grant that there are places where gay people face less flak than their critics. I myself haven't had to face a lot of prejudice since coming out, for which I'm very grateful. Globally though, I don't think it averages out that way. Particularly outside North America and Europe, the climate can be harsh. Plenty of people still get beaten, disowned, jailed, and executed for being gay (or live their lives in the closet out of fear of these things). I've seen the first two often enough in my own home town. That's a pretty unfavorable flak ratio.
HOWEVER, from what you describe, the criticisms people are throwing at you sound ridiculous. They're ignorant ad-hominem attacks, and as such they shame the attackers, not you. Your right-leaning opinions on this one issue do not associate you with anti-gay extremists any more than my left-leaning opinions associate me with anti-Christian extremists. If you're being bombarded by people who fail to realize this, I can understand why you're frustrated! I would be too. From all I've seen, you're a person who treats everyone with kindness and respect. (Not to mention... you draw some amazingly cute gay art 
Wow... how'd this get so heavy? Hope none of this is offensive to you. You're a true friend

Haha aw thanks; and ja, I totally agree. I guess being at an art school, it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find someone who isn't left-wing. But ja thanks again, you're a great friend too, Oyster!

Next thing ya know is the heel of his shoe is melted to the inside of the oven door XD actually where did his other shoe go in the second? XD
I love the girl ambush the poor guy got XD its soooo adorable XD so is him and his father its quite sicking XD great job
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ROFL XD It melted. XDDDD He was taking off one shoe in the first panel, but ja. XD that'd be lol. Trying to be all sexy, then smells burning rubber
Ernie: "OH NOES! MY FAVORITE SHOOOES!" XD or worse, his pants catch on fire. Or is that better? XDDDDDDd
LoL I'm glad you like their family XD I guess it sucks to be an older brother in an all-chick family and to get pwn'd by them. I guess that's how he remains so humble. XD can't be tough when you're beaten by a 7 year old girl. XD

I have to say, you do an incredible job with presenting character interaction. There is so much motion and life in your artwork that it's as though one is watching a motion picture, and that's a great talent!
I especially enjoy the family scenes that you create. Even if someone isn't very familiar with the characters, simply by glancing at one of your comics a viewer can not only get a feel for that character's life and personality, but your style allows the viewer to relate to the characters, too. The personalities are realistic, and there is a lot of variety to appeal to different people. Your work really has a unique personal touch.
