Maybe because the “Male Bully Jocks who get turned into girls and have better lives because of it” storyline is practically mainstream now, when it was groundbreaking and subversive back in the day? At least I think that’s what he was saying. Kinda.
Maybe, maybe not. If it were today’s context, Anne would change them back physically, but not realise they’d also been changed mentally (IIRC, it was done by one of her personality fragments, and she doesn’t remember what all they did while separate from her). So they’d be back in male jock bodies, but still cheerful girls mentally and emotionally. They would join the girls wrestling team and insist on using the female lockers… and all the girls who originally joined would ALL quit the team in protest to having to change and shower with males, AND have to wrestle with people twice their size, weight, and strength, despite being in their own, girls wrestling division.
I love this. That’s for making this awesome comic!
Oh man, this comic feels WAY different in 2022 than it probably did in 2004…
How so?
