Double standards

Featuring a guest appearance from… Commissioner Gordon?! I drew him after starting to draw the same stock ‘dude’ that I usually do, then trying to branch out. Now he’s a Nova Scotian grandpa!

This happens to me every time I go out without makeup. People ask me if I’m tired/sick/hungover. It’s something!

Well, you could cover patches under the eyes. Due some strange specifics of my face structure I always look like I haven’t slept for a week, but unfortunately using make-up isn’t socially acceptable for me since I’m male.


I know of so many women* who got/get this! It’s ridiculous! (Aren’t people used to normal, natural faces anymore?)
I myself usually don’t do makeup (just too lazy and untalented for that kind of stuff) so people are used to my looking like a walking corpse-vampire princess. But I get the opposite effect: compliments for “how nice I look TODAY” when every few months I do put on some mascara or wear something a little more fancy (thanks, so normally I look like crap?)…


Yeah *sighs* Ever since I got rid of my acne, I wear less makeup and get more compliments now….but I used to get that ALL the time. “omg you sick?” or “You look tired” or “You should try this and this and this to get rid of X and Y”
Now, I’ve learned less is more XD


I remember the first time I told someone I knew the same thing and then saw the difference without. I was very surprised. Then later she learned to strike a balance a bit more. Less but not none, and it was dead on.

This is really funny though. Great work.


i love this comic because not only is your style perfect, but you can tell that you’re from the maritimes by the way the man was talking ^^;
hope that made sense!
