TRANSCRIPT:
Panel 1:
Sam: (A person wearing a pale blue collared shirt, who is facing the viewer, with lowered eyebrows and an open mouth, with slightly downturned edges. Both arms are bent up at the elbows, one hand is closed around a hammer. There are two lines near Sam’s hand, which indicate movement. The other palm is horizontal, with its thumb sticking out, and its fingers bent up, and curled slightly back towards Sam.) Transitioning is not a rejection of women, or female-ness, or femininity.
Panel 2:
Sam: (Looking directly at the viewer, with raised eyebrows, and an open mouth with upturned edges. One arm is raised at the shoulder and bent forward at the elbow, with its hand holding an upright hammer. The other arm is bent up at the elbow, and its fingers are bent downwards, holding onto a white rectangular object.) Women have always been a major part of my life and always will be. My identity is built upon the foundation of strong, proud women.
Panel 3:
Sam: (Looking directly at the viewer, with raised eyebrows and an open mouth, with upturned edges. One arm is bent up at the elbow, with its hand curled around the stick of a placard, which is being carried over Sam’s shoulder. The other arm is hanging by Sam’s side.) And I feel privileged to know so many of them. As J. Bobby Noble writes; we are the sons of the feminist movement.
Panel 4:
Sam: (Looking directly at the viewer, with raised eyebrows, and an open mouth, with upturned edges. Both arms are raised at the shoulders, one arm is bent up at the elbow, with its fingers curled into a fist. The other arm is bent up at the elbow, with its fingers forming a fist around the stick of a placard*) So… (The placard reads:) *AM I A MAMA’S BOY? HELL YES!
Discussion (4) ¬
Right, I am officially hiring you to do comics for my lectures! This is awesome! Have you read Noble? Awesome.
Haha awesome, imagine if all lecturers just handed out comic strips to teach, I would definitely go back to uni for that!!! Imagine the caricatures….
i have a lovely picture in my head from the title “oh look your feminism is showing” – i’m walking down the street wearing boyish clothes and people are smiling at me, but also giggling, and when i look down, i realise there’s a cute pink slip sticking out from under my shirt. or maybe there’s a hole in my clothing and the word “feminism!!” is written on the clothing underneath. nice.
